'Hacks' Season 3 Recap: What You Need To Remember Before Season 4

Generational clashing has never been as amusing as Hacks. Jean Smartas stand-up comedian Deborah Vance is the embodiment of “you can’t joke about anything anymore.” On the other hand, Hannah Einbinder, as Deborah’s reluctant young writer Ava is the living picture of the millennial/Gen Z self-absorbedness. Mixing these two strong personalities through Hacks has elevated a battle that’s usually reduced to disagreements and mockery between generations. Deborah and Ava humanize the process, adding nuance to what each one feels and perceives, never losing sight of the fact that they both have remarkable qualities and flaws.
