The critically-acclaimed comedy has been a top performer on the platform since its debut, consistently ranking in the top ten most viewed titles out of all available content. Season one, from creators Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello, and Jen Statsky, explores a dark mentorship that forms between Deborah Vance (Emmy(R)-winner Jean Smart), a legendary Las Vegas comedian, and an entitled, outcast 25-year-old (Hannah Einbinder). The season will conclude this Thursday, June 10 with the final two episodes.<\/p>\n<p>New Yorker hailed the series as &#8220;bracingly fresh and wholly original&#8221; while Variety noted it was &#8220;destined to be a zeitgeist hit.&#8221; Chicago Sun-Times praised it as &#8220;instantly addictive, bitingly hilarious,&#8221; New York Times called it &#8220;a career-best for Smart&#8221; and The Hollywood Reporter celebrated Smart, whose &#8220;starring role here allows her to finally showcase her wild versatility.&#8221; Entertainment Weekly wrote, &#8220;Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder kill as comedians at odds,&#8221; and Twitter fans have heralded HACKS as the pinnacle of the &#8220;Jeanaissance.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"morty-936227333\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Sarah Aubrey, Head of Original Content, HBO Max quote: &#8220;We knew immediately that Lucia, Paul, and Jen brought us a winner.

We are so grateful we get to continue and want to thank our partners at HBO Max and Universal Television for supporting the show so fiercely, and our wonderful cast and crew for delivering on every level. Many years ago, we set out to tell a deeply important story that needed to be told &#8212; that of a handsome, charming talent manager and his two demanding female clients.
