(A particularly hysterical highlight comes in the fourth episode, when the Joan Rivers–esque Deborah gets booked on a gay cruise and is excited to finally have a receptive audience for her old-school-diva brand of comedy-only to find out upon arrival that it is exclusively for lesbians, who she is adamant “aren’t her crowd.” After her comedy set goes south, Deborah flees on a lifeboat.) To keep the laughs rolling, this time the odd couple heads out on the road to try out Deborah’s new material, with a range of brilliantly unexpected set pieces and supporting performances along the way-from Laurie Metcalf’s hilariously brusque roadie named Weed who runs their tour bus like the navy to the scene-stealing return of Meg Stalter as the chaotic, catastrophic Gen Z assistant to Deborah and Ava’s agent. “No pressure, right?” Einbinder says, laughing, of the show’s return earlier this month for a second season. Clearly, the critics thought so too: Debuting to effusive reviews, the show went on to pick up three Emmys and the Golden Globe for best television series, musical or comedy.

The deliciously vicious series follows legendary comedienne Deborah Vance (Jean Smart), who has lost her residency on the Las Vegas strip and is forced to collaborate with the recently canceled millennial writer Ava (Hannah Einbinder) in order to spice up her act the riveting clash of personalities that ensues offered just the right balance of escapism and subversive humor. We must be becoming a "Laughing stock" in the way we allow appeals for those we want rid off.When Hacks premiered on HBO Max last summer, in the middle of the pandemic, it felt like a perfectly timed comedic treat for the moment.

Plus again look at the cost of "finding and Prosecuting" those caught. Now would it not be better served to use that money saved for a worth while project. This Benefit fraud must run into Millions of pounds. Plus if they own property in this country, it's sold to pay off the Fraud. That I am sure will make some think more then once as to claiming. When do we hear from the Government as to "who's claiming when not entitled too"!Īgain if we make it a policy that any "foreign" person is claiming a Benefit and it's proved that it's a Fraud, send them home and make it certain they can't come back. I said that Channel 5 make money from highlighting it to viewers, so do they actually do the useful thing of working with the police to get prosecutions.īut, surely what ever News reporting agency that states, the case of Benefit Fraud is doing a good job. Lighthouse wrote:I didn't say that there isn't fraud.

And least we forget it's the Tax payer who in the end pays. How else are we going to control what as been stated by the government as "Fraudulent claimants abuse" from not only keep claiming. As I posted those who are in this country from afar, should be summons then sentenced and deported.


If they actually help the police sort this stuff out I could forgive it more, but do they?Īre you stating Lighthouse there is not Fraud or suspect claims made by some? I think to be fair we have seen and are seeing more and more so called "Claimants" being found and prosecuted. Outrage as (someone you don't like) does (something you don't like). This tendency has become blatant clickbait now. Benefits, gypsies, bailiffs.you know the stuff. Channel 5 seem to specialise in these shows. A bit like someone who splutters with rage over the Daily Mail at breakfast. Lighthouse wrote:You're right! They do it deliberately though, they know there's a rich seam of viewers out there who watch this type of stuff, presumably because in some part, they like to be annoyed.
