Fans Are Turning on ‘Hacks’ as Season 4 Earns Alarmingly Low Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score

This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

The first two episodes of Hacks Season 4 debuted on Max at the start of last month, and while general audiences were much higher on the series at the start, opinions have begun to shift. With six episodes under its belt and only four more remaining in Season 4, Hacks has dropped to a series-low 63% rating from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. This falls well below the 89% score earned in Season 1 and the 90% scores from Seasons 2 and 3. However, while critical opinion on the show has waned slightly, it’s nowhere near the drop-off that general audiences have seen. Hacks Season 4 still has a 97% rating from critics on the aggregate site, just a touch below the 100% earned in the first two seasons and the 98% from Season 3.

Hacks has aired 33 episodes now, halfway through its fourth season, and only three stars have managed to earn a spot in every single entry. Leading the charge are stars Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder, who can be seen in every episode of Hacks as Deborah Vance and Ava Daniels. Carl Clemons-Hopkins has also starred in every episode of Hacks as Marcus. Following closely behind the trio with 30 credits to her name is Rose Abdoo with her role as Josefina, with Mark Indelicato and Paul W. Downs earning 27 and 28 credits, respectively, for their roles as Damien and Jimmy. Hacks follows the mentorship that forms between Deborah Vance, a legendary Las Vegas comedian, and Ava Daniels, an entitled 25-year-old. The show was written and created for television by Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky.
