“#’Hacks’ is a Worthy Entry in the Jean Smart-issance \u2013 \/Film<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

(Welcome to\u00a0<\/i>T<\/i><\/b>he Daily Stream<\/i><\/b>, an ongoing series<\/a> in which the \/Film team shares what they\u2019ve been watching, why it\u2019s worth checking out, and where you can stream it.)<\/i><\/p>\n

The Show:<\/strong>\u00a0Hacks<\/em><\/p>\n

Where You Can Stream It:<\/strong>\u00a0HBO Max
\nThe Pitch:<\/strong>\u00a0Against her better judgment, legendary Las Vegas stand-up Deborah Vance (Jean Smart<\/strong>) hires Ava (Hannah Einbinder<\/strong>), a down-and-out twenty-something writer who was recently fired over a controversial tweet. Hacks<\/em> is a character piece that focuses on their clashing personalities, their conflicting app<\/a>roach to comedy, and how, if they can find it within themselves to listen and have an open mind, they might just make each other better.<\/p>\n

Why It\u2019s Essential Viewing:<\/strong>\u00a0The obvious thing to say here would be, \u201cJean Smart is spectacular on this show, so that\u2019s why you should watch it!\u201d And that\u2019s true. But Hacks<\/em> is a two-hander, and I think Hannah Einbinder also deserves a lot of praise for carrying the other half of this series with her enormous hands. (That\u2019s a joke that viewers of this show will understand, and not me making fun of a performer\u2019s appearance.)<\/span><\/p>\n

One of my favorite things is watching people\u00a0who I consider to be undervalued thrive. When someone has been sitting on the sidelines for years, but you\u2019re confident they\u2019re capable of great things, and then they knock it out of the park when they finally get a long-deserved opportunity? That\u2019s the good stuff right there. It\u2019s admittedly a little weird to feel an odd sense of pride for someone you\u2019ve never met, but that doesn\u2019t dampen my excitement on the rare occasions that it happens. The cool thing about Jean Smart is that she has taken one of those opportunities and parlayed it into an incredible run over the past several years. She\u2019s been absolutely killing it since playing a menacing matriarch on Fargo<\/em> in 2015, popping up in Legion<\/em>, Watchmen<\/em>, and Mare of Easttown<\/em> to rapturous acclaim, but Hacks<\/em> is arguably one of the best projects of her entire career, and she makes a meal of it in the best way.<\/p>\n

Despite its premise, this isn\u2019t so much a show about comedy as it is a show about being seen. Deborah literally wants to be seen working on the stage that her casino CEO (Christopher McDonald<\/strong>) is trying to take away from her; Ava wants to be seen as a legitimate writer; Deborah\u2019s COO Marcus (Carl Clemons-Hopkins<\/strong>) wants Deborah to see the work he\u2019s done to help her career; the list goes on. It\u2019s a drama about comedy that has some funny moments \u2013 don\u2019t go in expecting a laugh riot. But the show\u2019s central relationship, between Deborah and Ava, is what really hooks you. It\u2019s far more than just a Devil Wears Prada<\/em> scenario, or a string of easy jokes about \u201colder people think this, while Gen Z thinks this.\u201d It\u2019s the type of complicated, messy, sometimes-awful-sometimes-heartwarming human relationship that\u2019s rare to see on television these days.<\/p>\n
