I know we have some "technical debt" on this but you can make it return a dict. Like this:
```python
            return Response({
                "hits": [
                    {
                        "uuid": "1234abcd-ef56-7890-ab12-abcdef130801",
                        "date": "2000-01-01T00:00:00"
                    },
                    {
                        "uuid": "1234abcd-ef56-7890-ab12-abcdef130802",
                        "date": "2000-01-02T00:00:00"
                    }
                ],
                "total": 2
            })
```
It has the advantage that you don't need crazy string interpolation and you get color syntax highlighting.
