New TV Series Luck Gets Out of the Gates Fast

Mon, 13 Feb 2012 23:21:00 +0000

The new original HBO series Luck starring Dustin Hoffman has gotten off to a good start, with HBO renewing it for a second season after the premier on January 29, 2012 drew largely positive reviews.

Hoffman plays the character Chester "Ace" Bernstein, who is just emerging from a three-year stint in a federal prison. Ace has had a long successful history of being involved in the world of gambling (including ties to organized crime) and he quickly moves on his newest project after getting out of prison, which involves gaining control of a racetrack in order to introduce casino gambling there.

As the story unwinds, however, it becomes clear that Ace has other motivations driving him other than business, including exacting revenge for a series of mistakes that led to his time in prison.

Several other threads wind through the plot of the series, with horseracing serving as a central element that tie them all together. The star-studded cast includes other big names than Hoffman such as Nick Nolte, Dennis Farina, and John Ortiz, as well as an appearance by famous jockey Gary Stevens.

The creator of the series is David Milch, best known for helping to create NYPD Blue and Deadwood. Milch claims that he'd wanted to create the series for many years, with his own love of horseracing stretching back to his childhood:

"The pilot is about a bunch of intersecting lives in the world of horse racing. It's a subject which has engaged and some might say has compelled me for 50 years. I find it as complicated and engaging a special world as any I've ever encountered, not only in what happens in the clubhouse and the grandstand, but also on the backside of the track, where the training is done and where they house the horses."

The new series has largely gotten positive reviews, with Linda Stasi of the New York Post writing: "With an impossibly good cast, writing so spot-on it's poetic, and slow-build stories, I, for one, was left wanting more—even after watching the entire season."
