There are certain shows that when they're back for the next season we're excited for the writing, the exchanges between the characters, cameos, and seeing the humanity that takes place throughout the season. Hacks is back for S4 and has 10 episodes that will bring us on the ongoing journey of Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) who finally gets to enjoy her decades long dream of hosting Late Night!

The actuality of embracing your dream also has a number of real elements from seeing the writer's room in action, proving dissenters wrong, and ensuring that the show is one that will get high ratings quickly!

We also see the interaction between her and her headwriter who also locked in on a dream after spending so much time with Deborah! Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder) pulled a major move to ensure that she would also be included in this once in a lifetime opprotunity.

How can these 2 as well as everyone else weather this storm and what will getting Late Night actually mean once the dust has settled?

BLACK MIRROR

Netflix Originals

Netflix

As a kid, we loved watching The Twilight Zone which was a social commentary sci-fi show that definitely made you think about the issues that were expressed.

Black Mirror takes that as a foundation and creates standalone dramatic episodes that really focus on techno-paranoia. In this series of episodes, there is also a bit of connective tissue with previous seasons. No spoilers here, but we do suggest after watching your episode googling your favorite sites to hear more about the episodes or where they fit in the larger scheme of things!

BOSCH: LEGACY

Prime Video Original

Prime Video

Of course, we're going to share one of our favorite series in the same issue where we interview Titus Welliver (Deadwood, The Town, Sons of Anarchy) who plays Harry Bosch! We have enjoyed the ride of Prime Video's BOSCH and continued on to BOSCH: LEGACY which is enjoying its final season!

We're back in LA as our favorite character fights for the victims to get the ultimate bad guy, working with the law while also taking a few pivots as necessary, and seeing how he has intricate relationships with a number of people in his world. Whether you're new to this series or are wrapping up, it's a watch you won't want to miss!

If you haven't caught up on Hacks, now is the time as S3 is currently dropping a pair of episodes each week until the finale on May 30th! We've been enjoying the latest season which continues with septuagenarian’s veteran comedian, Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) as she navigates her continued success as a legendary Vegas act, while putting a twist on her empire from her successful standup career, trying to become a lateshow host, QVC, her friendship with writer Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder) and connecting with her friends and family.

This season allows us to see how even a successful person with global accolades still has to have a phenomenal team that works the system in order to achieve her aspirations in her career. We watch how the wheels of the entertainment machine work traditionally as well as non-traditionally. We also learn how what we want may in fact not be what we thought when given the opportunity.

THE VEIL

Hulu Originals

Hulu

We love a good espionage show and this limited series by Steven Knight (Taboo, See, Peaky Blinders). In The Veil, a 6 episode series, we find ourselves constantly asking who is connected to who, where do the lies begin and end, and is anything what it seems to be as we follow a supposed terrorist and the spy sent to find her.

We are introduced to a British woman (Elisabeth Moss) that the first scene lets her client know that his perceived win has turned sour. As he gets arrested, we find that she is moving on to another job and wants to be called Imogen. This job sens her to a refugee camp near the Syrian/Turkish border where a female terrorist, Adilah El Idrissi (Yumna Marwan) has been found. Imogen arrives and we realize that she is connected to various global government agencies.

As they navigate their way to Paris, Imogen and Adilah playh a cat and mouse game of truths and lies as they each check in with teams to further their agenda under the nose of the other. As we continue to get to know them as well as those that they work with, we wonder how much of what is said is true and how it will all end.

DEATH OF AN ARTIST

Listeners will have an inside look into two of the greatest artists of the 20th century, and how their vision impacts ours.
