Luck (HBO)

Has anybody watched it?

It looks promising with an interesting premise and a very good cast.

The pilot was aired after Boardwalks finale I think randomly. It was good, but not great, could be a slow burner.

This was leaked a month ago. Looks very promising.

I loved it and the preview of things to come looks intense. I like the look of Gambon as an evil John Magnier.

Agreed, I really enjoyed it too. Was a bit ambiguous though or maybe I was too tired to be paying full attention....but Milch has been a bit ambiguous so I doubt it. I was a fan of John From Cincinnati also, so I'm glad he's back and all, just hope this one gets a full run unlike his previous two

Well Deadwood got a season 2 quickly too....this has more firepower to it than JFC did, so would have to flop big time not to get renewed once or twice. I mean I hope he gets to tell his full story, the ending to Deadwood is one of the biggest disappointments in tv history imo.

Still great news!

which is why it's the biggest disappointment in history and that I wish for Milch to finally get to tell his story

Couldn't get into this at all. The setting just doesn't interest me and I found the writing very pedestrian.

That's amazing. A new HBO series. Directed by Michael Mann. With a brilliant cast. Yet I can still watch a trailer and not have even the tiniest bit of interest in watching it.

How did they do that?

It's even more dull than that trailer would suggest.

Luck was slow to start... but then again so was Boardwalk Empire.

Seems to have all the elements there.

For me Boardwalk never quite got to the usual heights I would expect of HBO. It was worth watching and all, but compared to the likes of Oz, Sopranos, Game of Thrones... Even True Blood, it was pretty weak.

Boardwalk is very meh for the most part indeed. I'm liking Luck so far though.

Me too, even though have the time i have no idea whats going on. Have to get used to all this betting and horse terminology, but I'm rvieted. I also like the waythey go ointo that almost shakespearean style of dialogue at times, just like deadwood.

Didn't 5 horses die in a single day at Cheltenham yesterday? Perhaps they should ban racing too?!?

Anyway, it's a shame - just thought it started to get going a bit. Now it makes me want to stop watching it - it'll no doubt end with some unresolved 'cliffhanger'.

I thought I read they only cancelled shooting scenes that involved horses. Could be wrong though.

EDIT: And I am wrong. They have shut down production on the show.

It wasn't an easy show to get into. I think they did a recap after the third episode to fill you in on who's who which helped a little.
