Gringo Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 This season was amazing. Probably the best one so far. Looking forward to the next one. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jglj Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Great season, the finale writing and acting were so on point. Spoiler I was thinking like, I hope Ava does not go back to Deb now, that will be so disappointing. But she gagged me threatening Deb and then responding with "Wouldn't you?" when Deb wanted to call her bluff. Season 4 will be the feud season we all needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 (edited) Incredible finale Loved that airplane scene between Jimmy and Kayla, both hilarious and heartwarming That confrontation scene between Deborah and Ava was so good and Ava rightfully dragged her for filth and that surprise blackmail twist was so well played, I screamed So can't wait for season 4 and to see this season do well this upcoming awards season. Also why do I feel like Kathryn Newton's character was based off of Miley this episode? Edited May 30 by Hector 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackoutbritney Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 This was an AMAZING and riveting finale. So many laughs, heartwarming moments, and tears and BETRAYAL. Truly one of the best seasons of television I've ever watched. No other comedy is as funny, topical, and relevant right now in my opinion. It's "woke" without feeling woke, it's so nuanced and the characters feel so real like complex and flawed yet still lovable individuals. I really can't say enough good things. Both of these actresses deserves Emmy's for this season bc those last two scenes were WILD. standout moments: Hannah handing Deb her notebook just for it to be full of ideas for her show. (That made me ugly cry tears of joy) Jimmy "proposing" to kayla on the plane was so sweet and SO funny and Hannah's succession play at the end. WOW what a cutting delivery and delicious way to send us off into s4 i was so worried they were gonna throw us a curve ball again and somehow prevent Deborah from getting the show and I'm so glad they didn't bc I think the inner workings of producing the show is going to be SO interesting! 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangane Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Loved it! The "proposal" had me on the floor and then I got HIT with that powerful scene between Deb & Ava oh my gooood... The writing was amazing this season, once again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liafen Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Also loved it! The ending was insane, and I was so thankful that they did not end it with leaving Ava in the dust — you could see that plot point coming from a mile away. Perfect twist ensuring that we will get a fresh and juicy S04! Overall this kinda was the weakest season for me though, mostly because both the first and the second season had insanely good and cohesive flow. S03 was a bit all over the place, but when the episodes were strong (e.g. the golf tournament one and this finale), they were probably the strongest overall. This season finale for example was the best episode in the series - incredibly well directed, acted, penned and photographed. Also I am so proud of Hannah! While she was ultimately always good on screen, she was second to Smart in everything for obvious reasons. But this time she truly gave a masterclass in acting when Deborah mentioned she's willing to lose her. Insanely well acted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted June 5 ATRL Moderator Share Posted June 5 The way this is easily one of my favorite television shows I've ever seen. The consistency in writing, performance, and direction is just something else. I did have a question though. Hacks is obviously a comedy for award purposes (I think it's definitely more of a hybrid than straight up sit-com but I digress), but does that mean they judge comedic performances differently than dramatic performances? I know they are separate categories but are comedic submissions judged with a different criteria? Hannah gave one of the most gut-wrenching turns but since that whole scene in the finale is essentially straight drama, would they even use it for her Emmy submission? Or does that not really matter? I really think she deserves best supporting for this season (and obviously I think Jean deserves lead) but I fear The Bear's reign won't let up anytime soon. I adore that show as well, but I'd love for Hacks to get at least one sweep and this season more than deserves it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoldyck Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I enjoyed the season besides the last episode. its felt like they are doing anything to extend it as much possible. After all growth Deborah has gone through, it was such a two steps backward move for her to do what she did. I know her insecurity were into plays, but for me they didn't build it enough to make sense. Now what Ava did, made complete sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tend to get judged the same as drama, think Jennifer Coolidge winning back to back because "oh we're so used to her just doing funny one liners but here she's actually emoting" - I think Hannah has a good chance, but if she's in supporting against Ayo Edebiri they will probably give it to Ayo again (because of the delayed ceremony they all thought they were voting for s2 last time) and she's doing more drama in her role than Hannah does. The Bear being in comedy is so unserious, Hacks deserves to have a Veep-level success in Comedy Series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctlp27 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Like all of you, an incredible finale for a great season 3. This is by far the BEST comedy on tv right now. I was scared they would lose some steam with season 3 but they know their characters so well, the writing was pitch perfect. Hannah deserves finally to win for that scene (even tho it's not a comedic one lol). God... what an acting she did there. I'm just annoyed to wait again for a year. 8 episodes is too short. 10 would be perfect (I felt like Marcus had no real deep storyline and he's in one scene of the finale - love the assistant crying, it had me dead). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooby.booby Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 (edited) This season did it again. Loved everything about it. The finale. I was so sure they would go the Ava is leaving again route and bam they did that in the last scene. Chef's kiss!
