Phoebe Waller-Bridge is the most celebrated British TV creator of her generation. Her blistering 2016 traumedy broke big the moment it crossed the Atlantic via co-producer Prime Video, fueling rapturous reviews and spirited discourse about the comedy of female sexuality. A few years later, the surprisingly metaphysical second season dominated the Emmys, made " Hot Priest " Andrew Scott a sex symbol, and even got a shout-out from Barack Obama .

A whole subgenre of sitcoms revolves around odd couples: Felix and Oscar, Abbi and Ilana, Liz Lemon and Jack Donaghy. Just as deserving of a place in that canon are Julio (co-creator Chris Estrada) and Luis (Frankie Quiñones), the cousins at the center of the uproarious two-season Hulu comedy (2022-2023). When they were kids, mischievous Luis bullied geeky Julio.

The Creators of 'Hacks' Really, Really, Really Hate AI
Ahead of the hit show's finale, cocreators Paul W. Downs and Lucia Aniello talk about media consolidation, the perils of censorship, and why they find AI "deeply disturbing." If you're a WIRED reader who uses AI in any creative context, I'd suggest staying far, far away from anyone involved in the TV show . In an interview earlier this year, actor Hannah Einbinder (who plays young comedy writer Ava Daniels on the show) described AI creators as "losers," "not artists," and "not special." In a wide-ranging conversation for ahead of the series finale on HBO Max, Paul W. Downs and Lucia Aniello were resolute about the value of human creativity--and what can be lost when AI enters the picture. If their work on is any indication, Downs and Aniello (along with their third cocreator, Jen Statsky) would be wise to stick with the tough, tiring, absolutely-no-shortcuts approach they take to making entertainment. Across five excellent seasons--if you haven't seen the show, I really do recommend it-- has been praised for its sharp writing and wit, and its thoughtful portrayal of Deborah Vance and Ava's complex, constantly evolving relationship. The show has also acted as something of a mirror for the real-world entertainment industry, weaving in plotlines that tackle everything from media consolidation to corporate censorship to, yes, artificial intelligence. The show's cast and creators have been on a media whirlwind as it all comes to an end. When they came knocking on WIRED's door, we jumped at the chance to chat, and I was lucky enough to spend an hour with Downs and Aniello--both WIRED subscribers, much to my delight--earlier this month. KATIE DRUMMOND: Lucia Aniello and Paul Downs, who I just learned are married, congratulations and welcome to . You should have been there. You should have been there. Ugh, why didn't we bring you? We are going to renew for our 10-year at the same place though. Lucia was born in Italy, so it was closer to a lot of family. And you were married in what year? You have time to find your look. A major priority for me in my life is perfecting my look. We do work at Condé Nast, and my boss is Anna Wintour.
