    Man oh man, I am binging "Hacks" for the second time. It is even funnier now because I have a better grasp of the characters. These two women (Hannah Einbinder and Jean Smart) were the ONLY two actors who could play those characters. I caught so much more when I binged it for the second time. Can't wait for Season 5, although I am sorta' sad because that might be the final Season – I don't know.

    All of the characters in that series are awesome – the writing is brilliant, but it is the facial expressions, hand gestures, the silence at times, which make these scenes even better – funnier or sadder. Kalya and Jimmy together absolutely kill me. Kayla is freaking hilarious and Jimmy too. 😂😂

    And Jean Smart – not enough words to describe her acting chops and the way she develops the characters she plays. And Hannah Einbinder – what an amazing actor she is.

    So love "Hacks" ….

    I love Jean Smart for years and years. But Mr. Martin short. Ever since SCTV days I don’t think I’ve ever seen him – ever – without a disingenuous mask on. I think that used to fly back in the day but now, not so much.

    Enjoyed this. ❤tho Martin interrupts Jean a couple of times. But that happens in conversations 😁 I loved Mare too!

    I would love to see a reunion conversation with the Designing Women cast (sans Dixie Carter tho).

    “Hacks” is one of the best show ever. From laughs to tears in a quick minute. I’m watching season 4 now. I love that they have so many guest stars – some who aren’t widely known yet- and it makes the show really fresh.
