We liked, not loved the first season of LUCKY HANK. The following is an episodic breakdown.
E1 PILOT ๐
“Ironically, a show about mediocrity has a pilot that struggles to be anything outside of mediocre.“
– Aaron
E2 GEORGE SANDERS ๐
“LUCKY HANK shares its โrich, outer lifeโ lessons for everyone watching this series. โForm is definitely following contentโ beside a man who doesnโt yet see how strong and creative he is. This is the plight of mid-life.”
– Esta
E3 ESCAPE ๐
“LUCKY HANK continues to be an exploration of what happens to middle-aged people that still have mommy and daddy issues. Bob Odenkirkโs performance and witty, satirical writing are the reasons to keep tuning in.“
– Aaron
E4 THE GOOSE BOXER ๐
“Despite my reservations about this show, I will continue watching it. Not because I care deeply about the characters or the story but because Bob Odenkirk is one of the best actors currently working.
– Aaron
E5 THE CLOCK ๐
“LUCKY HANK is a conundrum for me. I constantly ask myself if I want to watch so many poor choices being made repeatedly. โWhat percentage of happiness am I really feeling?โ Itโs just not always about โyou.โ Someone needs to let Hank know.“
– Esta
E6 THE ARRIVAL ๐
“The last five minutes of E6 is the best acting and scene of the season.”
– Aaron
E7 THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO ๐
“Hank is lucky enough to realize that he needs to go โall in and make a choice,โ yet, like the first season, he might be too late. This is perfectly captured when Hank tries to decide between a jar of pickles. Does he go for the green-labeled good pickles or the better blue-labeled jar?“
– Aaron
“Hankโs advice to his daughter at one point in the show is, โDoing something can help make you feel better.โ That nugget of wisdom perfectly summarizes what LUCKY HANK failed to do. Not enough โsomethingโ happens to make any viewer โfeel better.โ
– Aaron
