It will not air again before the premiere. It's not on demand or Go. It was a one time sneak preview airing.

Watched it last night. Really enjoyed it, had to pause a few times to explain things to the wife but she liked it too.
Wondering if ATR will be discussing the show on Monday mornings which means those watching will need to stay up late on Sundays to stay current to the discussion? Old farts like me need our sleep...sounds like Steve does too. :-) Maybe make Tuesday morning the "Luck" show?

I watched it too last night. I thought it was pretty enjoyable, although I could do without the Dustin Hoffman character. I know that's going to develop into something big down the road. But I liked all the on-track storylines.
Unfortunately while the show is probably going to be entertaining, I'm not sure how good for the sport it's going to be.

I absolutely think it will get people to the track, especially Santa Anita, but we'll see how many of those actually turn into bettors, which is always the tough thing to do. |

Watched it last night. Maybe its me but I can not for the life of me how a show showing a horse breakdown, beyond degenerate gamblers at a track with maybe 20 other fans, a mumbling Juan Carlos Guerreo wannabe putting one over and mobbed up owner is going to attract any fans to the sport. Let's just hope we don't lose any.

The show needs to prepare the viewer for how many times they're going to have to pay before they can get to their seats at a CDI track.

Last night on dvr as well. I thought Milch's writing fine, it was just an introduction to the characters and storylines. My wife and I found it very intriguing to see where he takes these characters. The previews were very good, and who doesn't love a series with multiple characters. Milch's track record is genius, he will layer these characters and I think it will be very good.

TV/Film Critics rather unanimous in their positive reviews of 'Luck'.. The only people that have negative things to say are predictably people in racing..

In all fairness most HBO series get good reviews. Boardwalk Empire has been borderline ridiculous this year and by reading reviews you would think it's the greatest show of all time.
