Ultimately, Lucky never quite adds up to more than the sum of its impressive parts.
-
Jonathan Tropper’s take on the material is half frivolous lark, half self-important commentary, wholly nothing in particular, though Anya Taylor-Joy and a solid ensemble cast work hard to swim against the underdeveloped stream.
-
While a few ideas do successfully land, most of Lucky's concepts fail to stick, resulting in a lackluster series that had all the potential to be great but ultimately misses the mark.
-
Bluntly, it’s just far too boring, especially when it finally gets to a finale that’s easy to see coming. The producers are lucky that they landed such a talented cast to adapt Stapley’s novel, but you know what they say: Luck only gets you so far.
