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

Thomas T @RT33090534 2h Decent casting, but garbage script. Lots of people doing stupid things to move the plot forward. Mobsters that are supposed to be clever doing idiotic things, cops acting like they have no training in procedure or field tactics. Written and directed obviously by someone that over their head keeping things accurate enough to not be distracting or frustrating. See more Nancie C @nancielea 3h I liked it. Anya Taylor-Joy is intriguing as an actress. The story, although disjointed, was an escape and better than many other TV series. See more Carcamal G @carcamal 3h Lucky is an exhausting and frustrating watch from start to finish. Burdened by clunky dialogue, heavy-handed overacting, and a completely nonsensical plot, the show completely squanders a cast that feels mediocre at best. It's a hollow thriller that relies entirely on characters making absurd decisions just to keep going-making it a tough slog for anyone looking for sharp writing. See more Agustina B @RT26507395 10h Basic action serie. No real content just fantasy, action, running and fancy phrases for the show. Not recomendable See more Sinead K @RT31976091 15h Don't get the hate. Solid action thriller with great performances. See more Paul R @RT57068866 17h Garbage bad script terrible idea and a waste of a good cast See more Read all reviews
