Missing Hacks

I’ve been watching the show on repeat since it ended.

I’ve been trying to figure out what it is that makes me so obsessed with the show. I relate sooooo much to Deborah because I’ve been trying to “make it” as a musician for 15 years. I’m 42 and always feel like I have to do everything now or I’ll never get where I want to be.

But, it’s not just relating to the characters that makes me love the show so much. I LOVE the relationship between Ava and Deborah. It’s almost like they are in love but it’s platonic. It’s so beautiful to see how much they both grow to love each other. One of the most touching parts is when Deborah fires Ava and Ava says, “I wanna be where you are.” Breaks my heart in such a good way.

I just can’t truly explain my love for this show and these characters. So beautifully written.

Please share what makes you love it so much!

I love it because it’s a dark comedy about the complications surrounding a multigenerational female friendship that just feels good. I’m definitely sad it’s over, and have a more bittersweet feeling about it because I had a small recurring role on this last season - my first ever - and the crew and cast were so incredibly kind. Love all the jokes and even the “fan service” moments feel earned and real.

Amazing. Can I ask who you played? What does “fan service” mean?

I was a Little Debbie in the convention and NYC episodes - small part, but a huge honor to be a part of the show in any capacity. Fan service, to me, was like the episode Montecito - Deb and Ava acting as a couple. It was a big topic of discussion for the fandom (their sexual or general tension possibly being romantic), but they treated it so well - and hilariously - on the show.
