What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Such Brave Girls turns humiliating dates, doomed schemes and family blowups into fast, cringe-heavy half-hours. Awkward scenes are allowed to become excruciating, with dark jokes and an offbeat, sometimes surreal accumulation of misfortunes. The episodes are self-contained, but the comedy carries real hurt: frank talk about sex, relationships and self-esteem can expose the sadness just beneath a laugh.

Josie, Billie and Deb bicker constantly and have a knack for making one another’s messes worse. Their fierce loyalty offers no guarantee of good advice or sensible decisions, especially when they seek approval from people who give nothing back. That combination makes the family bond both funny and painful: they would do anything for one another, without necessarily knowing what would help.

I Love LA

HBO • Nov 2, 2025
Comedy

A tight-knit friend group gathers after years apart, navigating the complexities of ambition, relationships, and how time has changed them.

Why this pick

Such Brave Girls makes awkward relationships funny without hiding the hurt, and I Love LA brings that same cringe to friendships, romances, and career missteps. Its young friends trade petty jealousies and sharp jokes in image-conscious Los Angeles, with tender moments breaking through the social embarrassment; the focus shifts from family chaos to a wider circle of friends.

Hacks

HBO Max • Apr 9, 2026
ComedyDrama

Explores a dark mentorship that forms between Deborah Vance, a legendary Las Vegas comedian, and an entitled, outcast 25-year-old.

Why this pick

The sharp, bruising jokes in Such Brave Girls sit beside real hurt, a balance Hacks finds in the prickly bond between a veteran comic and her young writer. Their backstage arguments and cutting one-liners bring plenty of laughs, while ambition and ageing give the comedy a more focused, bittersweet edge.
