The codependent venom of old has long since been replaced by an easy-going chumminess, which has defanged the show considerably. There’s still lots of fun to be had, but rarely does it feel like you’re watching the Hacks of old.

The ends always justify the means. Even a stand-up act can be praxis. How compelling you find that suggestion will depend on how much you jibe with Hacks’s combination of teasing and endorsement, and how quickly you might tire of how heroic everyone has become. (By now, the characters’ edges have been so sanded down that it’s shocking when it’s revealed that Deb once made a slightly homophobic joke about a lesbian comedian.) But the series throws itself into portraying how Deb’s galvanization activates those around her, and into positioning their transformations as persuasive devices.

The pain that lies simmering under a joke has rarely been as powerfully conveyed as it is by Jean Smart in a farewell to her career-defining role as a comedy diva in which she and costar Hannah Einbinder sweeten their snark with genuine mutual affection
