Lucky: Anya Taylor-Joy is undeniably cool in this explosive tale of cons, revenge and ass-kicking
A review of the Apple TV thriller Lucky praises Anya Taylor-Joy’s performance as a morally ambiguous thief forced back into danger after a betrayal. The series blends heist fallout with a reluctant last‑stand narrative, highlighting her character’s criminal upbringing and complicated relationship with her conman father, played by Timothy Olyphant. The show is commended for its action, style and thematic tension between competence and morality, supported by strong set pieces and a striking theme song.
