In an interview with Decider, the actress discussed navigating the industry while playing a character on a similar journey. Einbinder shared the lessons she had taken away from the series. The 31-year-old said, “I think I’ve become genuinely more confident as a performer and as a human being. I’ve become more confident in myself, so that has helped me as an actor. It allows me to be freer. It allows me to feel more secure.”
Talking about the final season, she said, “I was telling someone else that, like, literally the day we wrapped, the night we wrapped outside the Louvre, like we were all outside and I just got this wave of heat all over my body. And I just felt immediately so nauseous, and we were all supposed to go get dinner. And I was like, ‘I have to go, guys. Like, I have to go back to my hotel room,’ and I went back, and I slept for like 14 hours. I woke up the next morning feeling really peaceful, and I was just like, “Damn, my body was so overwhelmed with the experience of it being done.”
She admitted that the experience had overwhelmed her emotionally. She explained that she felt deeply connected to the show’s emotions, the people involved, and everything it had meant throughout its run, particularly during the final season. Hacks officially came to an end with its series finale on May 28.
