Decided to check out this show because I am a huge fan of Bob Odenkirk, as well as 'Breaking Bad' and 'Better Call Saul.' (This is an extremely unfair comparison as without Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, the show will be completely different). With that being said, unfortunately, I do not think this show will ever be compared to those two again.
This show was extremely mediocre and it will be hard to fill this review because there is really not even much to say about it. After watching, I must admit that I am not interested in any of these characters, including Hank, its protagonist, his wife, his co-workers, or his students. There was nothing that stood out to me about any of them, and even after just seeing it I can't really even remember distinguishing traits from any of them.
Its humor is likely what saved it from being a total drag. There were some funny lines, mostly related to Hank's inner monologue or just issues that occurred in his life.
But, that is really about it. The show is not funny enough for me to care about the lackluster story. There might be some potential there, but I do not expect this show to become popular or long-lasting, though I suppose we will see. I will give it another episode or two, but that will probably be it for 'Lucky Hank.'
