What is the release date for Hacks season 5 episode 8 on HBO Max?
It's just the final three episodes left to go
Have you come down from the high that was last week's episode of Hacks season 5? I surely haven't.
Deborah (Jean Smart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) fulfilled our wildest fan-fiction dreams by making out for a full 10 seconds, even if it was just for show.
However, the silly romance plot might have revealed a worrying Chekhov's Gun (i.e., something introduced that has its significance revealed at a later date) in Deborah's health, something she's been hiding from Ava.
But let's not worry about that just yet. With three episodes left to go, when is Hacks season 5 episode 8 dropping on HBO Max?
