![]() So Luck has an indirect comparison to War and Peace.
And now the show gets the label it was screaming for from the beginning: Pretentious |

![]() I know that.
The article is borderline insulting. You can't compare this show to The Wire with a straight face. That show was intriguing from episode 1. It didn't rely on known actors and borderline self-indulgent casting like the annoying asian poker player that was in Big Trouble in Little China. The content is lacking on the show. The characters are lacking. To compare it to one of the best series in the past 30 years is laughable. |

![]() I agree with the deciphering, unless they are going to introduce that the Nolte character had a stroke there is no reason to make it so painfull on the viewer. I'm not bothered by difficulty understanding the Ortiz diologue but the Nolte character makes me want to turn off the show.

![]() Also The Wire had 13 episodes for season 1 and the same number for season 2.
We're getting 19 shows with Luck. You can have slow pacing when the characters are fascinating. These characters suck. |
