The Nightly (AU)

The one thing you can always count on is the continued evolution of two incredibly complex characters and their relationship. The show never lets us down on this front. You love to see it.

Hacks remains one of the most joke-dense shows on television. The episodes are a riot.

Autostraddle

Hacks injects enough specificity in the subplots and their surroundings to keep the game feeling fresh.

Sunday Independent (Ireland)

By all means watch it for the art-imitating-life-imitating art dimensions, but don’t believe the hosannas of hype. Hacks is just plain old hacky.

Rated: 2/5

For the Win (USA Today)

Hacks remains as gloriously acidic and hearteningly complicated as ever.

As all-consuming as this relationship can be, watching it would be exhausting if the show wasn’t so funny.

It’s pretty jarring how far the shows quality has fallen in just one season (from 3 - 4). The story is off the rails, and he tension, while totally believable in the S3 finale, now feels extremely forced / awkward. Hoping they can get it together in the latter episodes and maybe a S5

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

What I love most about this show is that the humour is often so unexpected and yet strangely relatable.

The first two seasons were terrific but the show has seem to lost its mojo. The tension between Ava and Debra seems too forced. The plot seems to have become not believable. It's a shame. The first two seasons I gave 5 stars .

Only sporadically funny with 60% of the show being bad drama now. The comedian characters are only funny when they aren’t trying to be so you kinda have to take their word that the characters are funny comedians.

Hacks is definitely an enjoyable way to pass time -- but for a comedy that's also about comedy, it's not particularly funny. The scenes with Jimmy and Kayla are usually a riot, but the rest is just smile-worthy. That's more so a problem with the writing -- the acting, particularly Jean Smart, is fantastic.
