In season two, the tenderhearted comedy with a mean streak about Deborah Vance ( Jean Smart), an old-guard boomer comic, and Ava Daniels ( Hannah Einbinder), the reluctant Zoomer joke writer sent to polish her act, still picks at those multifaceted clashes, but notably softens the arc of its leads toward greater, if begrudging, mutual respect. Season one of Hacks frothed its heroines’ many prickly clashes-age, comedic sensibility, identity politics, class stratum, digital fluency, even taste in shoes-into a scalding foam topped with withering betrayal. All of it is handled with a light touch, side-stepping the sad-com trend for something so much brighter. ( Janelle James and Zack Fox in the same cast? Perfection.) Aside from the cozy chemistry that flows from cast member to cast member, it’s the show’s tender core that makes it resonate, highlighting the very real struggles teachers actually experience-from spending their own money on classroom necessities to caring for students with tough home lives.
Just one season in, the show has become an instant hit, credited with reinvigorating the sitcom as a form, breaking ratings records, and introducing viewers to a wide array of genius comedic voices.

Created by Quinta Brunson (who also writes, produces, and stars on the show), Abbott is the kind of sitcom you can’t help but root for, a mockumentary-style series about a scrappy elementary school in Philadelphia. Where to begin with Abbott Elementary? There’s all the usual stuff: great writing, phenomenal acting, relatable story lines.
