Hacks
“Saving the best for last.”
Creator
Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs
Deborah Vance has a long-running residency in Las Vegas and an act that stopped evolving decades ago. 'Hacks' pairs her with Ava, a young comedy writer unemployable after a bad tweet, in a working relationship built on mutual contempt that neither can afford to end. Jean Smart plays Vance as someone who paid a specific price to survive in the business and is not sentimental about it. The series has won multiple Emmy Awards, including for Smart's performance.
