Summary
Comedy drama, starring Jean Smart as Las Vegas comedian Deborah Vance and Hannah Einbinder as her smart young writer Ava

Review
Jack Seale
Jean Smart is on searing form as Deborah Vance, a comedian who, with her career on the skids, is paired with a much younger writer, Ava (Hannah Einbinder), who is also in crisis. Ava’s very modern outlook is completely at odds with Deborah’s old-school gags, but they slowly bond because they’re both vulnerable misanthropes who can help with each other’s problems. The jokes about showbiz zing, but the generation-gap character drama is even better.
