12 Best Shows Like Reboot That Fans Should Check Out – Looper

"Hacks" is a comedy-drama that stars Jean Smart as wildly successful career standup comedienne Deborah Vance, Hannah Einbinder as her younger co-writer Ava, and Carl Clemons-Hopkins as her closest advisor. The show follows all three characters, as well as the office and career life of Downs' talent agent, Jimmy, excellently portrayed by series co-creator Paul Downs.

The show has won Emmys for writing, directing, and outstanding lead actress for Jean Smart, as well as the Golden Globe Award for best television Series. Alot of that acclaim goes to the writing, which is sensitive, brash, and never mawkish even when dealing with life's harshest twists.

While the celebration of Jean Smart who jumped back into the spotlight with turns in "Fargo,""Legion," and "Watchmen" is well-earned, a place must be reserved for Clemons-Hopkins navigating life as a Black, gay businessman. Audiences will also admire Einbinder's performance, as her complex Ava Daniels is the true lynchpin of the piece. Ava is unlike any character you've ever seen, and she'll stay with you long after the applause has faded.
