    Just watched Ep. 1. Odenkirk is such a pleasure to watch. Really happy he's back on TV. I've missed him.

    Bob Odenkirk as a liberal arts college professor made this an automatic must-check-it-out series - for me.

    And then there are other top-talents such as Mireille Enos, Diedrich Bader and Kyle MacLachlan that push the talent to the top for a series of this budget-level. But, there was another actor, Olivia Scott Welch (as the daughter), which I just had to check out to see if she was going    Bob Odenkirk as a liberal arts college professor made this an automatic must-check-it-out series - for me.

    But, there was another actor, Olivia Scott Welch (as the daughter), which I just had to check out to see if she was going to be able to produce like I thought she might have the talent to reach... and she is probably going to get there in the first season. In the initial episodes I had the feeling that Olivia Scott Welch was being pushed to hit her first-take mark and produce - just like the other top experienced actors probably were and it was not good enough - in my opinion. Perhaps the producers had budget targets that had to be met until it was clearer if the series was going to be good enough for additional investment. Regardless, in the final scene of episode 7 everything came together... acting, writing, directing, etc... and Olivia Scott Welch produced the best acting I have seen from her.

    I hope this series gets a couple of more seasons - because it could be a very, very good as all the parts start to come together.    … Expand

    It is slowly getting into Hank's story. Hope it pays off, as I like where it is going so far with his messed up view of his career via his relationship with his parents. 4 episodes in.

    The dark comedy about the quest for fame and the politics of academia is a pleasant ensemble story with Odenkirk providing a strong anchor for plenty of witty banter and silly scenarios.

    But even Bader, a seasoned comedic character actor, can’t make the overly-quippy-yet-deflated dialogue land. Same goes for the rest of the talented but hung-out-to-dry cast, each straining for cringey humor in one limp written exchange after the next. Only Odenkirk and Enos succeed by playing their scenes utterly straight.

    Lucky Hank is a funny show with a fine cast. We hope it keeps its light tone as Hank’s life falls to pieces, at least the way he’s perceiving that it is.
