Great recap/insight Poppy. I'm just not sure if it's enough to hold me. I agree that episode 2 was better, but for me it's still not keeping me interested.

Great recap/insight Poppy. I'm just not sure if it's enough to hold me. I agree that episode 2 was better, but for me it's still not keeping me interested.
I've given it a 3rd and final shot. I realized halfway through the recorded episode that I wasn't watching it and had no idea how it got that far. To that end, I'm done with it.
I'm continued to be surprise that it's been renewed already!
I fell sound asleep 5 minutes into episode 3! :lol Obviously, it didn't hold my attention. I'll will watch it on HBOGO and try to catch up.
HBO has suspended the filming of horses on Luck following the death of a third horse.
'Luck': HBO Suspends Filming With Horses After Another Horse Death
Yes, it was all over our News last night (living here in SoCali) BUT I did hear this morning that filming is back on.Quote:

Both of those articles say the same thing: they suspended filming with horses, but have kept filming other scenes. They never stopped filming. Apparently, right after the accident, they directed the crew and cast to head to another shooting location.Quote:

I thought that, if Luck got great reviews, I'd give it a try on DVD. Based on some of the comments in this thread, I guess I'm not missing much. I love Dustin Hoffman and like many of the other actors, but I can see them in other things. I'd be surprised if this gets renewed for a second season.
The subject of lives at a racetrack aren't inherently interesting to me, but I thought there was a lot that could be done with it.
What bothered me the most was the pacing. It was so incredibly slow! I'd get up 1/4 of the way through and completely forget I was watching it.
I couldn't get into the show myself, but it's been cancelled according to this article from TMZ.
HBO Cancels 'Luck' After 3rd Horse Death | TMZ.com
Agreed - horse racing is exciting with great characters. However 'Luck' has none of that. Snoozefest indeed. Really sad three horses died for this show.
Wow, this is strange. According to this article, the show was in the middle of shooting its second season: HBO cancels 'Luck' after horse deaths – The Marquee Blog - CNN.com Blogs
I don't think I've ever heard of a NEW show starting filming on its second season before the first season is even finished airing, especially when the season is probably only 10-12 episodes (most shows on HBO are). Renewed, yes. Filming? No.
I'm glad HBO came to its senses and canceled the show.
