In its sophomore season, 'Hacks' takes Deborah and Ava out on the road. Can their relationship survive the pressures of tour life? Our review:
How much betrayal can one relationship survive? That’s the big question HBO Max’s Hacks Season 2 sets out to explore. The series’ second season, showrun by Emmy-winning creators Lucia Aniello, Jen Statsky, and Paul W. Downs, continues following the relationship between legendary Las Vegas comedian Deborah Vance and her young, entitled, self-righteous writer Ava as they navigate the ups and downs of collaboration across a dramatic generational divide.
Seeing Deborah and Ava’s dynamic on the road offers a deliciously more volatile environment for their various neuroses and vices to erupt. Whereas in Season 1, Deborah was more or less always in safe, comfortable territory, reigning queen of the Strip that she was, out on the road she is vulnerable. Ava has her own vulnerabilities to contend with, grieving the loss of her father, not to mention she's still one misstep away from being completely broke.
Meanwhile, Hacks Season 2 gives us significantly more time with Jimmy LuSaque and his assistant Kayla as they navigate the aftermath of their heated trip to Las Vegas from Season 1. Juxtaposing a more nuanced Jimmy and Kayla workplace dynamic with that of Deborah and Ava gives the season more varied opportunities to explore themes of ambition.
This new season of Hacks also introduces a few fantastic new characters, most notably Laurie Metcalf as Deborah’s tour manager Alice, a.k.a. “Weed,” who steals scenes left and right. We also get more Nina and her frazzled anxiety which is always a hotbed for chaotic neuroses. Even these smaller characters are given such specific, layered attention that the comedy they inject feels true and needed.
