You might not want to spend time at The Pitt as a patient, but as entertainment, it’s one hell of a gripping show -- grounded, intense, and emotionally powerful.

In its finale, this comedy about comedy circled back to the romance of creative partnership and the saving power of laughs.

“Hacks” is a show about the love of craft. For people like Deborah and Ava, the satisfaction of doing a thing well makes life worth living. Even if pursuing that thing can make you miserable, those fleeting moments when you catch it give a pleasure that even an old master painting or a perfect baguette can’t top.

There’s no denying this is a emotionally shattering portrait of grief driven by an astounding performance from Buckley.

Hamnet is stuck because his mother won’t let him go. But what Hamlet needed at that moment, which Agnes was able to give to Hamlet, because it’s safer, he’s a symbol of her son, not really her son. She’s reaching out to him to say, ‘I give you strength to let you go.’ And all the audiences in that moment reach out to him so that this boy, in that moment of fear, can feel the oneness and the fact that separation is an illusion. And when you feel that oneness, then you suddenly feel peace. And the rest is silence. And then he lets go, and therefore allows her to let Hamnet go.”

What makes it electric is how organically its numerous parts — its themes, characters, camera movements, soundtrack and accelerated pacing — fit together in a whirring whole.

Bugonia builds toward a wild and misanthropic final act that plays like nothing less than a sincere rejection of humanity itself.
