Hacks (Season 2) – HBO Max 5/12
The Kids in the Hall (Season 1) – Prime 5/13
Hacks was one of last year’s most pleasant surprises, and earned Jean Smart a long overdue Lead Actress Emmy. Hannah Einbinder made a remarkable debut as her feisty joke writer. Now that the odd couple are firmly friends, the tricky work of still making incredible jokes continues.
And speaking of comedy legends, the Canadian quintet returns to TV (sort of) with a reboot for Amazon Prime. Based on the trailer, it doesn’t look like any of their weirdness has been toned down with age or working for an evil corporation.
