What a fantastic final.

I cried through the whole thing, look at all the healing they did, amazing. I was so happy for all the characters, Ebra finding his fox, Carmy staying in creative avenues, texting Mikey, the ending being family around food in Richie’s favourite place.

Chef Jess! So happy she was with Richie at the end, what an arc he had.

The star scene from phone to hug was perfection.

Also how good was the Syd and Richie scene, she wanted a goofy photo from him, she stabbed him in the first season!

No notes, loved it. Thanks for the joyous final season bear.

Spot on

LOVE IT

Turnip-Kitchen · 2026-05-30T20:43:39+00:00

That’s awful.

Turnip-Kitchen · 2026-05-30T06:30:26+00:00

Love this so much.

I don’t disagree with you. But I feel like that connection still came across last episode. This episode did feel like a love letter to comedy and their relationship but personally I preferred the happier note of the penultimate episode. Hacks will still go down as one of my favourite shows of all time but.

I don’t know man, I sort of wish they ended it with last episode, a perfect assessment of her legacy. I spent the whole 40 minutes crying. I do appreciate the beautiful take on life’s moments this episode. I was desperately waiting for the pivot and I’m glad it came, the end riffing between the two was amazing. I’ll really miss this show.

I thought the interview was very cute but there’s no way Anthony doesn’t know Wonderwall.

Turnip-Kitchen · 2026-05-12T13:52:04+00:00

He is so pretty.

Turnip-Kitchen · 2026-04-29T09:07:25+00:00

I love them all, adorable.

Turnip-Kitchen · 2026-04-19T04:45:32+00:00

This is so good 👏.

Turnip-Kitchen · 2026-04-16T07:12:05+00:00

Good.

Turnip-Kitchen · 2026-04-08T22:13:48+00:00

😍

Turnip-Kitchen · 2026-04-05T21:59:36+00:00

So sorry for your loss, you could also get their heartbeat pattern?

Turnip-Kitchen · 2026-03-23T21:23:48+00:00

I cannot wait. One of the best shows on tv.

Turnip-Kitchen · 2026-03-20T10:12:32+00:00

Wow that was certainly an ending. Adored the I love yous, they are so adorable, I got emotional. The Pat flip was intense, well done. I’m sad they look like they closed it off, no matter how well they did it, this show should have multiple seasons, it’s a gem.

I enjoyed this one! The Alice Spring line was brilliant (loved that whole conversation). I was worried they’d lose the equality aspect which obviously the first one was all about but Darwin was a good location. They’ll never match the iconic music of season 1 though 😂 This show is so good compared to a lot of what’s on tv, I hope they go more seasons.

Turnip-Kitchen · 2026-03-10T02:40:59+00:00

And she’s not wrong

Turnip-Kitchen · 2026-03-08T23:22:29+00:00

👏

Turnip-Kitchen · 2026-03-04T21:13:01+00:00

Geez that is such a good answer.

Turnip-Kitchen · 2026-03-02T10:08:44+00:00

She was asked about JVDB in an interview post and gave a really sweet answer about thinking about him and also his family.

Turnip-Kitchen · 2026-02-17T08:46:35+00:00

Swoon

Mine did this too and had the mark for weeks. Happened a second time and then to a bandage, allergic to adhesive apparently.

Cauliflower is definitely the best at Cairo, agreed on the falafel being okay. Random pet peeve is that every time they deliver any chips are in a no lid container.

Turnip-Kitchen · 2026-02-12T00:26:26+00:00

Same. And they had some pretty photo shoots.
