Deborah Vance’s notebook

The white print on the back of that notebook means that it’s not a Moleskine. Notebook Stories guesses that it’s a Mont Blanc. All I can say is that it must be one of the most consequential notebooks in the history of notebook sightings.

I soured on Hacks somewhere in the fourth season — too much meanness. The fifth season brings the series to a more kindhearted close. Still not really my cup of tea, but it is a cup of tea, and it’s good tea. And Jean Smart is terrific.
