Great Second season, such a fun show. Love Jimmy and Kayla's interactions. Like that they left and have their own studio now, should make for good season 3which has to happen

Yeah i love Jimmy and Kayla 
She is so over the top but believable. And Jimmy being just so frustrated is hilarious.

Being an Always Sunny fan, I think Kaitlin Olsen is great on this show too.

Finished up S2. It was good... really enjoyed it.
I really like the back and forth between Deborah and Ava, and find the interactions of Jimmy and Kayla to be hilarious.
They should ditch Marcus. His character is so boring and I can just barely tolerate him when he shares the screen with Ava and/or Deborah. When he's on his own, the show screeches to a halt. I do not care one iota about this character and what he's up to.
I suspect Jimmy lying and telling Deborah (and the crowd at the Palmetto) that the guy who died was "OK" will come into play next season. Deborah and the team will get criticized for continuing the show after an audience member died (even though the only person who knew was Jimmy).

My appreciation for Jean Smart is like infinitely higher. Between this and Mare of Easttown, she has been brilliant the past few years. She is amazing.

She was also amazing in WATCHMEN. She has been killing it on HBO.

And yeah, Jean Smart has been crushing it with her late career renaissance. I mean, she's always been around but now she's on stuff I watch

Yay!
I think this got the benefit of being one of the first exclusive shows on HBO Max and during the pandemic, so it built up a pretty good following.

I finished watching season 2 on Sunday. During season one, I complained about Ava being unlikeable, but I grew to like her.
Season 2 felt like a series finale for me. I would have been ok with it ending there, but I'm glad we're getting another season. I can't wait to see where they go next. This has been a fantastic series so far. It's one of the best tv shows of 2022.

Five seasons might be getting close to the limit unless she goes on the international space station.

Very late to the party catching up with season 2. Just posting something odd that happened in episode The Click. The language track switched to Spanish and I couldn't get it back to English. English track came back on when the next episode started. Weird, huh?
Regarding the show itself, it makes for a good binge. I watched most of the season last night while I was wrapping presents.
But my interest in what's happening drops if Deborah or Ava is not in the scene, and drops more if Deborah is not in the scene.
My favorite episodes were the cruise and the state fair. I liked how they showed Deborah coming to terms with the realization that she can't escape being who she is, and who she always was, accepting the positives of that for her career and the negatives of that for her family. Wonderful part for Smart with so many layers.
Oh well, that's my two cents on Hacks. On to explore the sex lives of college girls.
And after I'm done doing that, I'll watch some more TV shows!

what a truly well written, bitingly funny and sometimes sad show. The characters are just great and this was certainly a show that took me by surprise.
