[AMC] Lucky Hank

Post by Kraken »

Bob Odenkirk as a cynical English professor in a second-rate liberal arts college. Sign me up!

Odenkirk says that this eight-episode character drama won't have any gunplay, which might disappoint most of you but intrigues me. He's not exactly an action hero, after all, despite Saul Goodman's toe in that world.

Anyway, AMC's latest shot at a blockbuster starts tonight at 9.

It's almost as if people are the problem.

I thought the pilot was hilarious, but I wonder how much it will connect with people who aren't familiar with academia. The audience for this show might be limited.

Fuk, I forgot AMC is not streaming. I found it on some Stories by AMC BS. I will be on it like white on rice Sunday at 9 PM.

I love this show, but then I would watch Odenkirk play Hamlet. I especially like that his nemesis is an emo college student.

It's on AMC+, their streaming service. I got a year subscription for like 30 bucks during a holiday sale. They have it every year and it's cheap to subscribe that way.

I liked the premiere quite a bit. But my boss at work (a huge Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul fan) was expecting something more like his previous roles and was disappointed.

There can hardly be a more Holman show than "Bob Odenkirk plays a disillusioned English professor."

Alas, I'll have to wait for it to migrate to Netflix or something.

2nd rate Liberal Arts College?

So the season will be cancelled due to layoffs before episode 4? ;)

This should be repeated in case everybody didn’t see Nobody.

Next up: Odenkirk in a musical, and knocks it out of the park to rave reviews.

He’s come a long way from the excellent The Ben Stiller Show and Mr. Show.

I'm kind of meh on this one after a few episodes. I think it's because "mid life crisis" doesn't really appeal to me as a theme right now. Odenkirk is great as always though.

Cancelled
“We’re proud of ‘Lucky Hank’ and thankful for the work of everyone who brought this unique, playful and deeply human show to viewers, from the talented creative team to our partners at Sony and, of course, Bob, Mireille and the entire cast and crew,” said AMC in a statement. “Unfortunately, we are not able to proceed with a second season, but we are glad these eight episodes exist on AMC+ and will continue to find new fans – or be seen again by viewers who come back to spend more time with Hank, Lily and the entertaining cast of characters at Railton College.”

I liked it well enough, but I won't miss it. Actually forgot all about it until this thread bumped.

Same. I watched it and I would probably continue watching it if it had a second season. But I wouldn't go telling people they need to watch it.

I thought the show was a slog. Just not interesting
