“If a good finale ties up a show’s plot and answers crucial questions, then a great one completes character arcs and deepens themes developed across multiple seasons, revealing the intricacy of narrative architecture too subtle to perceive from one week to the next. As the creators have said, Deborah and Ava’s ending was part of their initial pitch to HBO Max for Hacks. And so the callbacks in this episode aren’t just Easter eggs. They’re threads—or maybe, since we’re talking about Deborah Vance here, sequins—stitched together to finish the garment.”

Jo Firestone’s recommendation of the show FISK from her newsletter: “Speaking of the soup crowd, I just started watching this Australian show called Fisk based on Emmy Blotnick's recommendation, and l am laughing so much! It's about a divorced lawyer named Helen Tudor-Fisk who hates people, loves soup, and only wears big brown suits. In episode one, she goes to work at this new law office for wills and probates. The office manager played by Aaron Chen (HE IS SO FUNNY!) asks if she wants her office decorated, and offers to get her a poster... ah wait, I'm actually not going to ruin the joke by writing it out from feeble memories. It will be much funnier if you watch it.”
