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.

It's a wild ride, as aggressively entertaining as its theme song. Go to Full Review

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

“Lucky,” the Jonathan Tropper-created series based on the book by Melissa Stapley, is not bad. I’m not damning it with faint praise, but it could have been so much better. Star Anya Taylor-Joy is reason enough to take a peek. Go to Full Review

7/10
The final episode of the series, as we have gotten used to in recent years, could be the end, leaving Lucky as a limited series, or leave the door open for this story to continue, should audiences respond to Anya Taylor-Joy’s character. Go to Full Review

The action works. The cast works. Lucky herself often works. The problem is that the show’s entire premise rests on a decision that does not. Go to Full Review

Alma B @almalove 3h The last two episodes have actually been much better. The first 3-4 episodes were ridiculous car chases and action movie shenanigans while the most recent episodes have mostly been drama that has let the cast's natural talent shine. I'm not sure if either of these variations is the true Lucky experience or if it's just going to continue trying to be a mish mash of these very different styles but I'd much prefer it to be like the more recent episodes going forward. See more Vanessa J @VanessaJane 5h It started with a promising premise, but by the last couple of episodes I was struggling to stay interested. Far too much dialogue, painfully slow pacing and very little tension. Annette Bening’s Priscilla is just odd, and her performance felt strangely stiff. Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor as FBI Agent Billie Rand was badly miscast. For someone meant to be a strong, commanding agent, the character lacked presence and simply wasn’t believable. Even Timothy Olyphant as Lucky’s father didn’t really work for me. The standouts were Anya Taylor-Joy as Lucky, Drew Starkey as Cary and the woman who helps Lucky while she’s on the run. They felt far more natural and engaging. Taylor-Joy absolutely carried the series. For such an impressive cast and a premise with so much potential, Lucky ended up feeling badly miscast in several key roles and far more drawn-out than it needed to be. What started out interesting became slow, dialogue-heavy and increasingly boring. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend it. See more Eric J @RT27161063 2d This has been a great series through the first six episodes, and I’m really looking forward to the finale next week. It’s well written, the acting is excellent, and the story has kept me hooked from the beginning. If you enjoy a good drama with plenty of action and suspense, I’d definitely recommend giving Lucky a watch. See more J D @Truth9834 2d I am also surprised, as are other viewers, by how much I like this show. Clearly my liking this is Anya Taylor-Joy and her charisma. She is a charm to watch. See more Amparo P @porty 2d I feel like they draw out the scenes a little too long sometimes and I’m like fast forwarding to them. See more Jimmie T @RT56780042232 6d I dont know why im liking this show. Its not too good but i guess there's some charm to see Anya Taylor Joy running and be on her shenanigans.
