What to Know

Critics Consensus

Anya Taylor-Joy is Lucky in an entertaining bit of thrilling fare that often promises more than it can deliver but never lets the audience down when it comes to action and intrigue.

Anya Taylor-Joy’s scrappy protagonist grifts her way out of problems in this compelling and unpredictable drama. No luck required. Go to Full Review
Chris Vognar Boston Globe Jul 21
Quantity is rarely the same as quality in episodic television, and “Lucky,” to its credit, steers clear of the bloat epidemic that plagues so much current TV. That’s a big reason why it’s such a bloody good time. Go to Full Review

How not to create a series starring a woman. Without a likable main character, there was nothing for an audience to hook on to during the endless, unrealistic action scenes. Go to Full Review

Lukasz F @FranzPoland 5h simple show, not very smart, not made for a demanding viewer - to people who complain that Cape Fear is unrealistic and yet in the same time give this a good review: you are so full it you can’t even see it anymore. Anya made a character to fit her delusions of being cool, and a show that serves a sole purpose of presenting that narcissistic idea. See more c T @zorroone 7h HI, my my... critics "!!!!! ... this show with excellent on screen talent and writers just waiting to measure the roll out of each episode.... evolving... please do not kill it... feed it ! I see it similar to Tulsa King.... from the beginning..... I see this show as developing to get better each week... the ingredients are all there... a little extra budget from the Studio... and it will be Very Good and fun ! See more rm M @RMhawk 13h In two words; boring/implausible to the extreme. I like watching ATJ in that she is unique, but this show was just way too boring. See more Sarah M @RT53828213 22h I keep hoping this show will get better but every episode is just.. incredibly bad. This story is so basic, but then there’s bursts of mini action scenes that are big and dramatic, overly gross and gory. It’s like the show is trying to hard to be something it’s not. Anya-Taylor-Joy delivers her characteristic ‘I’m an actress acting for you’ performance that makes everything even harder to buy in to. I think I’m going to have to call it quits after these first three episodes. I hope for those that keep watching there’s some crazy insane plot twist that kicks this story in to gear See more JM M @jmmch 1d Great show, we are enjoying it See more Matthew J @mattyj2001 1d Over half the dialog is exposition and is completely unnecessary. It makes the pacing of the show seem really slow when they have a full scene of dialog then basically show you what happens later in the episode. The 40 minute episodes could easily be 20 minutes long and wolud be much, much better if they removed all of the poorly written and conceived dialog. The acting and the story are solid and I'll suffer through the rest of it because I want to know what happens, but not because of any compelling action on the screen or words coming out of the characters' word holes. Part of me wants to just wait until all the episodes drop then watch the last one to see hwo lives and who dies. Lastly, a big problem is that Anya Taylor-Joy and Matthew Rauch have zero chemistry. I don't believe for one second that they were in love. Anya Taylor-Joy is one of the best we've got but even she can't make that relationship believable. See more Read all reviews
