20 Best TV Shows of 2026 (So Far)
3. Hacks (Season 4)
From one Hollywood satire to the next, Hacks has also come to a profound and bittersweet end in the first half of 2026, and its loss is a big one.
Throughout its run, Hacks has been one of the defining comedies of its generation, a stunning character and relationship study of two writers attempting to hold on to and expand their careers as their personal lives become complicatedly entwined.
With its fifth and final season, the HBO comedy has more bite than ever, allowing stars Jean Smart and Hannah Einbender their finest hours yet as two professionals facing new industry roadblocks and relationship foibles.
Sure to sweep up a half-dozen Emmys come voting season, Hacks' rapid-fire humour and poignant themes of friendship are to die for, a warm and lovingly crafted ode to women in the entertainment industry that pulls no punches when lambasting the very profession it seems also to care for very deeply.
