- There’s this part in the Luck pilot, when these four guys are crowded around, watching a horse race on a TV. Near the end of the race, they’re like, “what’s happening?”, as it becomes clear that their horse won the race or something. That was the question I constantly asked as I watched the show, minus the interest they had for the answer and their passion for what was going on.
- The only times I ever understood what the characters were talking about were when they casually tossed back ethnic slurs. Take that as you will.
- Is there a valid reason why these “degenerate” characters are written as “casual” racists? This show takes place in a modern setting. How is it not problematic in an obviously racist and also classist way? Realistic? Fuck off. No, seriously, I want an answer to this.
it suxx that no matter how amazing the pilot apparently is, it’s still just another HBO study of complicated middle-aged white doodz and probably will never be anything more
