Hacks signs off with a warm, zinger-filled final season

The final season of Hacks delivers a buoyant close to the Deborah Vance–Ava Daniels partnership, with creators who mapped the ending well in advance, leaning into warmth, humor, and a hinted love story while playfully riffing on late-night culture and meta stand-up. The season includes bucket-list episodes, a Frasier-like farce, and a satisfying, light-hearted landing as the show exits; UK viewers can watch from April 17 on Sky/ NOW, with the US already able to stream on HBO Max and Australia on Stan as of April 10.

TV Reviews Roundup: The Pitt’s finale tease, Hacks’ EGOT bid, Big Mistakes’ crime-capers, and The Boys’ endgame setup

A roundup of four TV reviews: The Pitt's season-2, episode-14 installment '8:00 P.M.' clocks in at 41 minutes and largely punts major character payoffs to next week’s finale, centering on Robby, Langdon, and Duke with intervention as a through-line; Hacks returns for its final season with Deborah Vance plotting a legacy-defining EGOT and clashing with Bob Lipka as Ava pushes the comeback; Netflix’s Big Mistakes follows siblings Nicky and Morgan as they dive into Glenview’s criminal underworld, delivering dark comedy and a strong cast but pacing that drags at times; The Boys’ final season premiere leans into familiar chaos as Homelander consolidates power, Soldier Boy returns, and Billy and MM plot a Supe-killing virus, all while characters face losses and questions about how the endgame will land.
