From thrilling start to satisfying finish, Apple TV’s seven-part miniseries proves an unqualified 2026 standout.

It’s a lean, fast ride that still offers plenty of opportunity to stop and appreciate the human moments wedged in between the thrills.

The series' primary strength is its ability to function as an Anya Taylor-Joy delivery system. Its secondary is how it does the same for Timothy Olyphant, allowing him to be charming and grizzled and superhumanly relaxed, and for Annette Bening.

It can be quite violent, but it’s not off-putting — not for more than a couple minutes at a time, anyway — and even at seven episodes, the flow is so well arranged as to remain engaging.

Ultimately, Lucky never quite adds up to more than the sum of its impressive parts.

Jonathan Tropper’s take on the material is half frivolous lark, half self-important commentary, wholly nothing in particular, though Anya Taylor-Joy and a solid ensemble cast work hard to swim against the underdeveloped stream.

Lucky’s joyless capering is an awkward fit – a roll of the dice that ends badly for all involved.

I really enjoyed the series overall. Excellent cast, well-developed plot, and well-crafted action scenes, especially the episode with the car chase. I found the ending a bit slow, but that didn't take away from the quality **** season. I’m not sure if there’s enough story for a second season, but with Anya Taylor-Joy, Annette Bening, and Timothy Olyphant in the cast, it’s hard not to watch anything they’re in.
