Title: Hacks
Review: Brilliantly written and conceived dark comedy about a dark mentorship formed between Deborah Vance, a legendary, and fading, Las Vegas comic, and an entitled, outcast 25-year-old comedy writer. Smart, of Designing Women fame, is flat out THE Bomb on this eccentric and sleeper of a show. Th supporting cast is great and the capture of both Vegas fade and LA posh- fake seems dead on and ridiculously funny. Alternating between great one liners and really complicated relationships , this is a unique show, well worth the half hour investments of time. The chemistry between the two mains is shockingly good.
