Dan Einav Financial Times 02/14/2025
4/5
Hacks continues to interrogate Deborah and Ava’s shared sense of what it is to be ambitious and perennially dissatisfied... The result is a comedy that can deliver a killer punchline one moment, and a gut-punch the next. Go to Full Review Rachel Aroesti Guardian 02/08/2025
4/5
Stick with it and you will be rewarded with one of the most compelling character studies currently gracing our screens. Via Deborah, the show’s creators are able to muse on the nature of success and happiness through an uncommon vessel: an elderly woman. Go to Full Review Neil Fisher The Times (UK) 02/05/2025
Hacks ultimately thrives anew thanks to Smart’s smarts. Go to Full Review Karina Adelgaard Womentainment Aug 11
5/5
The comedy series is as funny and touching as ever. Both Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder continue to shine, but so do the supporting cast – and the awesome guest stars. Go to Full Review Samantha Schuster Cinéfilo Serial 07/18/2025
4/5
A series that stands out thanks to its main duo, but also to the supporting cast, who have their moments to shine, and a good approach to serious topics through humor. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk 02/18/2025
4/5
Deborah’s Late Night quest provides the spine for the season, and Smart’s mercurial, multi-layered and sometimes scary performance remains a thing of wonder. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Atuações incríveis. See more M A @RT25218740 May 17 Amazing season! Love it! Keep it up guys!!!! See more John C @JohnNOhio Oct 15 This show becomes less funny every season...I'm out! See more Craig B @Boundsy Sep 26 Very enjoyable comedy drama with a great cast. Good for those times when you want a shorter watch without using too much brain power. See more micah c @micahcreech1 05/27/2025 Hacks season three is by far my favorite season of the show yet. The writing and the dynamic between the two leads is outstanding. I love all the supporting characters who really stand on their own this season and give different perspectives than our two leads. I love how every season we reach for different goals and we try so hard to make them work, like with this season it’s about being a late night host. I think the creators and writers did a fantastic job incorporating everything into this season and it is truly the best season so far. See more Read all reviews
