This series about a conwoman fleeing for her life is packed with explosions and preposterous coincidences. It\u2019s bunkum with bells on \u2013 but who can resist it in this heat?<\/p>\n
Luciana \u201cLucky\u201d Armstrong (Anya Taylor\u2011Joy) is on the run, scampering across the US in her fashionably rumpled sateen blouson and prompting much fist-shaking from the hapless feds on her tail. \u201cLucky!\u201d they bellow, cheeks puffing in disbelief as the incorrigible grifter bounds across the roofs of parked lorries, wriggles out of an exploding car, scams a sobbing gran and sets fire to a goon\u2019s cowboy boots. \u201cLucky?! Stop!\u201d But, no, too\u00a0late, she\u2019s off again; capering, conning\u00a0and\u00a0smirking her way through the Apple TV crime thriller\u00a0that bears her pointedly ambiguous\u00a0nickname.<\/p>\n
Based on Marissa Stapley\u2019s bestselling novel, the story follows thus: after her boyfriend has made off with the proceeds of their multimillion-dollar heist, our penniless protagonist finds herself pursued by the\u00a0FBI and a ruthless crime boss determined to relieve the duo of their ill-gotten spoils.<\/p>\n
