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

Wally F D @RT41881390 15h Fan of Anya, as usual, she is great in this. Good cast, entertaining with plot twists. Some things were a a bit of a stretch, without giving away any spoilers. See more NerdCall T @nerdcall 1d If your dad taught you from childhood to lie, steal, run, and never trust anyone, maybe therapy would be an option. Lucky would rather spend seven episodes being chased by the FBI and a bunch of criminals. And thank God for that. The show is at its most fun when it follows Anya Taylor-Joy improvising cons and trying to escape increasingly terrible situations. There’s something incredibly satisfying about watching Lucky read someone in seconds and use exactly what she was taught to survive. The second half loses some of that energy once it has to explain betrayals and set up the ending, but seven episodes keep the story from wearing itself out. Lucky is basically a series about trying to unlearn everything your father taught you while using all of it to avoid getting arrested. Family is complicated. See more Frank E @Franksmovies 1d Somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. Looked foward to the next episode, but it was good, not very good. Benning a bit mis-cast. The rest were well chosen and handled their parts very, very well. Story was standard thus the 3 vs 4. See more Ry N @RyGuy 2d Lucky is on the run from the FBI and a crime boss when her boyfriend runs away with her heist money. The show is fast paced as Lucky gets out of sticky situations back to back to back. See more Imelda C @Imelda313 2d I’m very disappointed in Lucky… watching it but I don’t think it’s very good and I cannot imagine it being renewed for a second season. Anna has never run in her life and you can tell. Those flailing elbows were so funny I couldn’t continue. Saying that, I think she is a great actress. Just not a good action star. See more LacosteTK T @LacosteTK 3d Anya Taylor Joy Has Never Chosen a Terrible Project, The Worst She Has Done Is The Gorge! However She Kills In Everything She Is In, And This Is No Exception, The Writing Is Of High Quality, It Looks And Is Shot Well... Apple Really Has Become The New HBO. The Cast Is Great All Around. I Watched First Episode And I Just Kept Watching And Couldn't Stop Until The End, Which Is Rare For Entertainment Nowadays. I Hooe If They Do Season 2, Hope The Don't Fuck It Up. 9/10 See more Read all reviews
