HBO’s blasphemous dramedy Hacks wrapped its final season Thursday, proving it learned nothing from last season’s backlash over its offensive mockery of the Holy Eucharist. Instead, season 10 doubled down with more anti-Catholic garbage and an anti-life assisted suicide message. In episode 1, “EGOT,” the offensive imagery starts immediately as Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) arrives home to a memorial after fans mistakenly believed she died. Fan art depicts her as Jesus, including a Barbie doll nailed to a cross with her initials DV at the top. One fan shouts, “She is risen,” when she exits her car alive and well: . @hbomax's 'Hacks' Doubles Down on Anti-Catholic Mockery in Final Season as main character is portrayed as Jesus on the Cross with her initials at the top. #CatholicX pic.twitter.com/J7aX4kDjtC — Dawn Slusher (@BlondeBlogger) May 30, 2026 Deborah: Oh, my God. Look at this. Fan: She has risen! Deborah: No, no! I was never dead. TMZ got a bad tip. They issued a retraction this morning. We thankfully got a reprieve until episode 9, “The Garden,” when Deborah rehearses for her Madison Square Garden comeback show. She jokes that the 12 apostles were gay and prepares to portray Jesus on the cross with three wise men in attendance: . @hbomax's 'Hacks' doubles down on anti-Catholic mockery in final season as main character jokes the twelve apostles were gay. #CatholicX pic.twitter.com/24EQdHzxzl — Dawn Slusher (@BlondeBlogger) May 30, 2026 Deborah: Hello, Madison Square Garden. I'm back from the dead. And just like Jesus, I love having 12 gay guys over for supper. This lining has to change. I just... Assistant: We're changing it. Deborah: But it needs to change, like now, because I have to rehearse in it. This is the stuff that's making me nervous. Thank you, New York. I'm still Deborah Vance. Good night. And then at that point, I am Jesus on the cross. And here come my three wise men, and... After her enemy buys out her MSG show to leave the venue empty, Deborah scrambles to stage a free Central Park performance the next weekend. As soon as she takes the stage, she yells, “First, I would like to acknowledge this is stolen land,” delighting her uber liberal assistant and best friend Ava (Hannah Einbinder), who screams, “I didn’t even tell her to say that!” By the final episode, “Hacks,” Deborah reveals that part of the cancerous mass she had removed was left behind and has spread. Things take a dark turn when Deborah explains to Ava she’s not going to fight and will instead undergo assisted suicide in Zurich: . @hbomax's 'Hacks' pushes assisted suicide in series finale. #CatholicX #prolife pic.twitter.com/IfXEvQtO2K — Dawn Slusher (@BlondeBlogger) May 30, 2026 Deborah: You're not gonna like this next part. Ava: Um, didn't love the last part. Deborah: Honey, I'm not doing chemo. I'm not putting myself through that. Ava: I get that, but don't worry, you know? Uh, you won't be alone. I'll go with you to the appointments and I'll help you with medicine. You know, I'll do whatever you need. Deborah: I'm not putting you through that. Ava: Okay, so what are you saying? Deborah: You know I like to do things on my own terms. I've done it all. I just did the best show of my life. I broke a record. Ava: That's why you had to do it that weekend. Deborah: Yes. It's not gonna get any better than this. I want to go out on top. Ava: Okay, it's a high for your career, but... Look, if anyone can beat anything, it's you, okay? And you said it yourself. You're gonna live till you're 109. Deborah: I'm not. And I want to call my own light. At the end of the trip, I plan on taking the train from Paris to Zurich. There's a place there called Dignitas. Ava: Is that one of those assisted suicide places? Deborah: Oh, not one of. It's the best one. But yes. Ava: Listen, Deborah, I'm sure this is really, really, overwhelming. And I'm so sorry that you're going through this, but I think you're not thinking straight, okay? This is crazy. Deborah: Actually, it's not. Comedians have a long, rich history of taking our own lives. Ava: Your whole thing is beating the odds. This is so not you. Deborah: It is. And I want you to come with me. We'll have a fabulous vacation first. Then you can go shopping. You can use my suitcase on the way home. Ava: Stop. That's not funny. Deborah: Oh, you joke about killing yourself all the time. Ava: I'm kidding. Deborah: Oh, suddenly, you're sensitive about it? You can walk the walk, but you can't swallow the pills? You can tie the noose, but not kick the chair? Ava: Stop. Yeah, we’re not laughing either. Especially knowing people who’ve lost loved ones to suicide are likely watching. Though it’s not surprising that a character whose been placed on the level of God would decide they should have the power to end a life, it’s still unnerving to watch Hollywood push their anti-life agenda. Deborah asks Ava to support her, but she refuses and calls a mutual friend to help change Deborah’s mind. When he tells her, “It’s her body, her choice,” Ava screams, “How dare you turn that around on me?” Funny how that slogan loses its appeal when you actually consider the choice being made. Eventually, she reluctantly shows up at the airport to support Deborah’s wish to kill herself, as any loving friend would do. /sarcasm But seeing Deborah so alive and happy in Paris makes the finality of her impending suicide hit Ava hard. As it should. While sulking through the city streets alone, she hears church bells and decides to go inside to light a candle for Deborah, a moment that ends up being pivotal but was completely ignored by the writers when Deborah later changes her mind. Because we can’t give any credit to God or prayer, of course. Even if they had, it would hardly make up for their treatment of Him and the Catholic faith. Especially considering the episode’s ending when, just before Deborah changes her mind, the two women misgender God for laughs at the train station in Paris: . @hbomax's 'Hacks' misgenders God as 'non-binary' in series finale filled with more anti-Catholic garbage. #CatholicX pic.twitter.com/HoxPrDc2Rg — Dawn Slusher (@BlondeBlogger) May 30, 2026 Ava: So, what are you gonna ask if you get to, you know, meet your maker? Deborah: My plastic surgeon? Ava: Ha. No, really. Deborah: In 1980, Burt Reynolds called me and I called him back, but he never returned. What was that about? Ava: That's what you wanna know? Deborah: I pretty much have everything else figured out. In fact, I think He or She, or, you know, They/Them might have some questions for me, actually. Ava: They/them? OK, non-binary God. Love. Deborah: Well, I meant more of an energy. I don't think there's gonna be a gender-fluid barista waiting for me at the pearly gates. Ava: That's too bad. I'd love a matcha when I get there. Um, we’re pretty sure blaspheming God might disqualify you from making it to those “pearly gates,” Deborah. Or, you know, mocking the Body and Blood of Christ. But, hey, it’s never too late for repentance, fortunately. Even for someone like Deborah. That would’ve been a much better message to go out on than disrespecting God, mocking the sacred values of billions of Catholics all over the world, and denigrating human life, but at least this awful show and its horrible agenda are finally over. For good.
