        This is a great show. I've always loved Jean Smart and I think this is a great part for her. I will definitely be staying tuned for future seasons!
      • Jun 17, 2023
        One of the best comedies of 2021. A well written and acted show that is at it's strongest when Smart & Einbinder have the screen to themselves.
      • Apr 03, 2023
        So very disappointed in this. I couldn't get past the first 10 minutes. I guess I have my head in the sand. I thought Jean Smart was classy. The short portion that I viewed lacked both talent and class. The content is reprehensible, vulgar, and depraved. I will spend my time with something with superior, written with intellect and self- respect.
      • Feb 10, 2023
        It's clear two episodes into the series that we finally have a television character that can capture all of Jean Smart's many abilities, most of all the ability to cut someone using only her tongue. One can already get a sense of how well Smart and Einbinder will dazzle together as the series progresses. It's also, like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, very capable of writing biting, believable on-screen standup comedy in a way that has seemed historically difficult outside of a comedian-created television vehicle. Sharp writing, stellar cast and that patented HBO shimmer make this a show to keep your eye on.
      • Jan 23, 2023
        Yes, Jean Smart is fantastic. The rest of the cast very good. But the daughter marrying the athlete subplot felt odd, as in "why is this here". And some of the jokes unfunny: how did Deborah Vance ever do a Vegas stand-up residency for 2,500 shows? She's actually cruel, on and off-stage. I hope Season 2 is better.
      • Jan 08, 2023
        Barely laughed, all of the characters except Deborah and Jimmy are unlikeable or just plain boring. There may be potential but we need less stiff writing or less stiff actors to make it happen. I can't believe critics gave it 100.
      • Oct 21, 2022
        Bold and irreverent humor. Excellent casting of the lead characters. Extremely engaging, warm, and, at times, thought-provoking
      • Sep 01, 2022
        Funny and light hearted tv show. Amazing cast!
      • Aug 11, 2022
        It's hard to find a character on television today more annoying, less enjoyable to watch than Hannah Einbinder's Ava. To be fair, it's not the actress' fault. Einbinder is just way too good at playing every stereotype thrown at her generation, wrapped in the most mousy self-righteous yet entitled package. Ava is so obnoxious that I wish "Hacks" was a slasher movie with Jean Smart literally hacking her to pieces. Fortunately, Jean Smart makes ever scene that she's in bearable. It's a privilege to watch Smart in anything. She manages to shine here despite being surrounded by clearly talentless showrunners. Sadly, the writers of the show suck - the writing is so bland and mediocre, you forget it's an HBO show. For a show about comedy, the actual comedy writing is so limp and stale, it's embarrassing to see the show's great premise go to waste.
