Naming "#Hashtag" one of the "15 Women-Driven Web Series that Could be the Next 'Broad City'" 'IndieWire' wrote: "the series is a great showcase of [Bergh and Zak's] different comedic styles. Bergh's character is bubbly, warm and a little oblivious where Zak's is sardonic and skeptical. They're a pleasure to watch."
Bergh and Zak, both former Chicagoans who have relocated to Los Angeles, returned to their former home last summer to shoot the new season. Zak spoke of the continued partnership with tello: "We are grateful to tello for giving us the chance to apply what we learned the first time around toward an even stronger, funnier story-line, and even more compelling characters in the new season. As our protagonists grow and change, we develop as filmmakers alongside them."
"I can't wait for audiences to watch season two," added Bergh. "We took everything that fans loved from season one and brought it to the next level. There are twists that no one will be expecting."
