We liked, not loved the first season of LUCKY HANK. The following is an episodic breakdown.
E1 PILOT 😊
“Ironically, a show about mediocrity has a pilot that struggles to be anything outside of mediocre.“
– Aaron
“LUCKY HANK shares its “rich, outer life” lessons for everyone watching this series. “Form is definitely following content” beside a man who doesn’t yet see how strong and creative he is. This is the plight of mid-life.”
– Esta
“LUCKY HANK continues to be an exploration of what happens to middle-aged people that still have mommy and daddy issues. Bob Odenkirk’s performance and witty, satirical writing are the reasons to keep tuning in.“
– Aaron
“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
“LUCKY HANK is a conundrum for me. I constantly ask myself if I want to watch so many poor choices being made repeatedly. “What percentage of happiness am I really feeling?” It’s just not always about “you.” Someone needs to let Hank know.“
– Esta
“The last five minutes of E6 is the best acting and scene of the season.”
– Aaron
E7 THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO 😊
“Hank is lucky enough to realize that he needs to go “all in and make a choice,” 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
“Hank’s advice to his daughter at one point in the show is, “Doing something can help make you feel better.” That nugget of wisdom perfectly summarizes what LUCKY HANK failed to do. Not enough “something” happens to make any viewer “feel better.”
– Aaron
