Matt Roush says...
Did Deborah Vance (Emmy winner Jean Smart) just throw away her career, again, as her furious network bass warned her? The Season 4 finale of the Emmy-winning comedy picks up after the legendary comedian’s momentously spontaneous decision to walk away from her coveted late-night TV show, facing an 18-month suspension from performing anywhere. (Damn those non-compete clauses!) For someone who lives to work, this could be a catastrophe. But as we’ve seen many times before, it might be a mistake to write Deborah Vance’s career obituary prematurely. We can’t wait to see her next move, and thankfully, HBO Max (as it soon will be known again) has already renewed the series for a fifth season.
