The fourth season of “Hacks” starring Jean Smart culminated in an unexpected twist — and then another unexpected twist.

The last sequence of the Hacks finale will make you question whether the show is still a comedy. It’s been a turbulent ride for seasoned comedian Deborah (Jean Smart) and head writer Ava (Hannah Einbinder),

But now I'm more excited for the future of the show than ever, because the end of season 4 — including its shocking climax — has me hopeful that this show is ready, like its main character Deborah, to finally get back to its peak. Let me reiterate: At no point has this show been bad.
