Pick of the week
Hacks
It has been an age since we’ve been in the company of Deborah Vance and Ava Daniels, but absence has made the heart grow fonder. Finally, season three of Hacks is available to UK viewers. Deborah (Jean Smart) is now the toast of the comedy world and has hired not one but two new writers. Ava (Hannah Einbinder) is not among them. Maybe Ava should regard the fact that two people are needed to replace her as a compliment but, inevitably, she’s struggling to see it like that. So begins another delicate, hilarious dance of mutual need and shared antagonism as the greatest odd-couple friendship on television enters another stage. It’s great to have them back.
