- TriviaTwo horses were injured during filming and later euthanized. The American Humane Association (A.H.A.) released a statement saying that both racehorses suffered severe fractures that were checked by veterinarians and deemed inoperable. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (P.E.T.A.) criticized HBO over the injuries and euthanization of the horses. After the death of a third horse, HBO suspended any filming involving horses while investigations by the A.H.A. took place. It was determined that the third horse was not injured during filming. HBO decided to cancel the series rather than risk any further animal injuries.
Featured review
The Most Ironic Series Title, Ever.
Luck was an epic show. In only 9 episodes, it weaved together numerous, insanely complex story lines which many people probably had trouble following. But what started as a 'too dense for anything but pretense' project soon turned into an amazingly broad show whose characters included mafia, rounders, trainers, jockeys, agents, horse owners, and many others - to create an incredibly smart show which, in my opinion, sought to expose the world of horse racing to the many who are uninformed, or simply would not normally care. The characters and writing were top notch, and this definitely should have been allowed more time to flesh out.
Hopefully another network won't be as scared of PETA and will pick it up.
