"Deadwood" fans already know that Milch doesn't make it easy for viewers to get a purchase on his series, but for those willing to do the work, Luck, pays off.

Asking viewers to simply look his characters in the eye, Milch has created an infuriatingly but genuinely moving drama.

What keeps these threads tight and advances the action is the input of Michael Mann, who directed the pilot and set the tone for the rest of the nine-episode first season.

Luck is a sometimes confusing yet fascinating study of the colorful characters--the jockeys, trainers, owners, gamblers and railbirds--who populate horse-racing tracks.

If you make it to the end, the payoff is sweeter for the suffering. In the meanwhile, enjoy each scene on its own merits, which are not inconsiderable.

I'd almost say a typical , obviously pre-woke Era, allround cool (old) white guy show . I vaguely recall Hoffmann actually being me-tood somewhere in the following years not sure. Stars of the show areNick Nolte (legend) , and two absolute outsiders, the captain from True Detective 1 and the stammer guy from Spin City (that was awesome ) two u song older Hero actors ypu don't see anymore in modern shows . A very grown up, trash talking , old school gem of a show , that deserved a season or 4.
