Ageist and tone deaf and unrealistic. That A-hole group at the end at the town hall? That would not be diverse, it would be a bunch of upper middle class white kids taking it upon themselves to be offended for minorities.
I do like this show, but it makes it very hard to like sometimes. I have a similar problem to it that I had with Breaking Bad, a show I loved, but throughout its whole run I was waiting for a scene when Walt responds to Hank's frequent deriding comments on his job by confronting him with the very real facts and statistics proving that the War On Drugs has actually made America's drug problem way worse, and so Hank's job was less than useless, it actually makes the problem it was meant to solve way worse.
In Hacks I've been waiting for Deborah to snap back at Ava over the antagonistic attitude of her and people like her, that it actually pushes people away from the causes she supports and makes everything way worse. This episode sadly makes me think that moment will never come. They had a good chance to do it in the Town Hall scene at the end, no spoilers, but if that had done that realistically it would've gone way different.
