Goodbye for now, ya buncha Hacks
Jean Smart will be back, never fear. Plus: In The Heights, Legendary, and a bemused Dwayne Wade

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Thursday, June 10. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
Hacks (HBO Max, 3:01 a.m., first-season finale): HBO Max knows it’s a stressful time, so they did us (and by that we mean the TV-loving populous) a solid, and announced a renewal of this excellent Jean Smart-led series before we had time to worry about its fate! Viva Hacks! Now prepare to say goodbye, for now, to Deborah Vance and company.
Keep an eye out for our coverage of today’s finale, including a post-mortem interview you won’t want to miss. And if you’re on the fence about coughing up for HBO Max, they’ve made the full series premiere available for free via YouTube.

From Film Club
In The Heights (HBO Max, 3:01 a.m.): “Watching this effervescent movie musical, a loving tribute to the Latinx communities that have made Washington Heights their home, you’d never guess it had such an arduous journey to the big screen. Chu, Miranda, and screenwriter Quiara Alegría Hudes (the librettist for the original musical) preserve much of the intimacy of the Broadway show while ramping up the splendor and significantly expanding the time frame. Though Miranda reunites with Olga Merediz, who reprises the role she originated on stage, and with Christopher Jackson, an alum of In The Heights and Hamilton, this buoyant adaptation goes beyond merely re-creating its source material for the screen. Here, the timeless quality of Miranda’s original story, which combined wanderlust and an exploration of the Latin American diaspora, meets a timely discussion on dehumanizing immigration policies. Not all of the updates are seamless; some of the meaningful tension from the original is sacrificed for an unambiguously happy ending. Still, In The Heights’ irrepressible energy—transmitted by a big cast of rising stars and veteran performers—is the perfect note on which to kick off this summer’s blockbuster season.” Read the rest of Danette Chavez’s film review.
