About
You’ll likely enjoy Hacks if you want a raw, dark comedy about comedy and the entertainment industry with strong performances; Not for you if you need consistently “funny” jokes or hate shows that feel more bitter than playful, especially if you disliked Master of None or Atlanta.
Pros: Dark, sharp comedy; Stellar lead performance; Timely industry focus | Cons: Not for everyone; Mixed chemistry; Some weak writing
