Hacks series finale airs, creators say ending was planned
HBO's Hacks concluded its run with a series finale that centers on Jean Smart's Deborah Vance and Hannah Einbinder's Ava. Creators Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky said they mapped the show's ending years earlier and intentionally scripted the final beats to complete Deborah's arc. The closing sequence uses a needle-drop of Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand's "Happy Days Are Here Again" to punctuate the finale's stage-ready sendoff. That planned resolution ties up the mentor-protégé relationship and wraps the series' themes of fame, reinvention and the personal costs of comedy.
The series finale of Hacks was, dare I say, perfect…?

Night of excellent TV: FOR ALL MANKIND, very solid series finale. HACKS, also a series finale, funny and touching as always, a great send off. MAXIMUM PLEASURE GUARANTEED, 3 episodes in, I’m officially declaring it a really good show, and Tatiana Maslany — no surprise — is fucking sensational.
