Season 5 Review:
There are enough big names here to make the season feel like a well-earned celebration of its place in pop culture. But ironically for a season that spends so much of its time concerned with the question of legacy, Hacks stumbles at crafting its own. In elevating its brighter, softer elements at the expense of its darker, sharper edges, it becomes a sugarcoated obituary version of itself.

Season 2 Review:
Hacks is at its best in moments like that, when it highlights life at its most simultaneously hilarious and wrenching. It just takes a little while for it to reach those scenes this time around. ... Season two is much looser and, like a stand-up tour, jumps from place to place without clearly addressing its broader ideas.

Season 1 Review:
The imbalance in Hacks' odd-couple premise is that while every quip out of Deborah's mouth is a hoot, nothing about whiny Ava suggests she's comedically worthy of laundering her boss' caftans. [24 May - 6 Jun 2021, p.9]

Season 1 Review:
There’s a schematic quality to the series’ foundation that Hacks mostly fails to outgrow in the first six of its 10 episodes. Deborah and Ava’s boomer-versus-millennial, heartland-versus-the-coasts, experience-versus-innovation tensions are constantly telegraphed without becoming organic to the characters. Occasionally, their differences can lead to interesting discussions.
