"Hacks" is sure one interesting and pushing the envelope like original series from "HBO Max" as it's words and actions are so outspoken and blunt. It features Jean Smart(as an elegant shiny silk colored blouse wearing cougar who's washed up and past her prime as standup comedian Deborah Vance) and Deb is living her days out feuding with her manager over shows and money, it's painful still her tone and mouth pack a punch on stage! Yet newer crowds want modern material so Vance is hired a writer to do her jokes and that's Ava(Hannah Einbinder) who's been suspended from sitcom jokes after being to racy. Both clash from the outset as ego and youth vs. Old school plays a factor in the drama. Each episode is a fun filled raunchy witty journey with actions and words as this feels at home for the city of Las Vegas. Vance is lonely yet still good even her relationship is strained with her grown daughter a sexy colored bra wearing care free party girl(Kaitlin Olson "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"). Overall this may not be everyone's cup of tea for it's character clashes still it's open and honest and a journey for both the two central lead gals and it's very blunt and funny watch it for the brash outspoken roars of one Jean Smart.
