"A time jump resets this show's character dynamics with Rue (Zendaya) working off her debt to a drug dealer and seemingly nearly all the series' other female characters engaged in sex work of some kind. Sam Levinson's vision of a woman's life is pretty depressing."
"After the blow-up of her late-night show in season four, Deborah (Jean Smart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) are ready to move on, except for the fact that Deborah still can't perform yet. So in Hacks's last season, the duo are plotting Deborah's return to comedy by trying to get her a gig at Madison Square Garden for when her contract is up."
"Dan Levy returns to TV with a darker comedy co-created by Rachel Sennott. Levy plays a minister who gets caught up in an accidental theft, leaving him and his sister (Taylor Ortega) to scramble to make things right."
"Chase Infiniti, not content with one major role associated with revolution and radical politics, leads the cast of the new Handmaid's Tale spinoff. Ann Dowd's Aunt Lydia is the only returning character; whether there will be a returning audience for Handmaid's style of political commentary is yet to be seen."
Hacks and Euphoria are both concluding their series, with Hacks focusing on Deborah and Ava's journey back to comedy, while Euphoria depicts a darker narrative involving its characters. Deborah aims for a comeback at Madison Square Garden, while Rue navigates a troubling life post-high school. Other notable shows include Dan Levy's new dark comedy and a Handmaid's Tale spinoff featuring Ann Dowd. The contrasting themes of these series highlight different aspects of life and personal struggles.
