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.

4/5
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

Sonal Pandya Times Now 5h
3/5
As a weekly series, Taylor-Joy keeps you invested in the crime thriller. The actual details of the narrative about the stolen money and crime operation that Lucky and Cary's parents are involved in are too vague. Go to Full Review

Darla D @Darla111 11h I don’t understand the bad reviews - not everything has to be deep and meaningful. This series reminds me of good cheap 90’s fun with the bonus of Anya Taylor Joy who I have loved since Queen’s Gambit (which is deep & meaningful). See more Soothing B @soothingbanjos 11h Good production values, but not creative and the dialogue is bad. See more John W. M @jwmartens 12h Anya Taylor-Joy and Timothy Olyphant are terrific working with what they have but it ain’t much. The bad guys are not believable, especially Annette Benning, as a supposed criminal mastermind, who threatens John’s child Lucky with death then withers like a baby when her son is threatened by her boss, and her henchman is boring. If you want to see a tough woman boss, see Jennifer Jason Leigh in Fargo. The FBI are comically inept, which may be the case now institutionally with KP at the head of it, but field agents could not be this bad. But worst of all is the dialogue which is supposed to be tough and sassy and winds up boring and dull. Formulaic "prestige" TV. See more down P @downwiththewreckage 16h terrific cast, but the producers and writers have done no favors in giving them a by the numbers get short narrative we've seen 100 times before, done smarter, and better. this was disappointing from the first episode and it hasn't gotten any better since. juno temple did this character so much better in fargo. See more Lukasz F @FranzPoland 1d 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 1d 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 Read all reviews
