It really is a miracle that HACKS was SO good for its entire run - it constantly subverted my expectations and every season they had a moment where my jaw dropped and another where I burst into tears. Sometimes they were the same moment. I'm so sad to see it go but what a legacy.

“i love this picture. it's a good representation of how we feel about each other, and of the support and love paul, jen, and lucia have always shown me. i had no acting experience when i started on hacks (sorry) - but i think the reason i could do the job was because the character they created in ava was so real. i remember reading the audition scene and thinking damn. i wanna chill with her. she would be my best friend for sure. as i came to get to know paul, jen, and lucia, i realized that the qualities i loved in ava were qualities of theirs. they're passionate and fiercely loyal, goofy as hell, and their hearts bleed for the people they love. hacks is about the love you share with your comedic collaborators. i feel like the luckiest person on earth to have been a part of it, and even luckier to get to share that connection with paul, jen, and lucia. hacks has made everything in my life possible. it has given me the ability to tour and put out a standup special, it has made me an actor- a medium i cherish and love so deeply, it has fulfilled me creatively and given me a great big family of cherished people. im so proud of what we've done, and how we did it. my gratitude to these three is eternal. i love you. thank you for my life.”
Antony Starr as Homelander in The Boys feels like the best performance currently on TV and the fact awards bodies barely acknowledge it is ridiculous. The way he flips from charming to terrifying without changing his voice is acting at an absurd level.
