Dustin Hoffman made an exciting venture to the small screen with HBO's horse racing drama series, Luck, which premiered in 2011 and ran through 2012. The series presents a raw, riveting portrayal of the horse racing industry, entwining captivating narratives with a plethora of complex character relationships. Hoffman stars as Chester 'Ace' Bernstein, an intuitive and cunning man recently released from prison and seeking retribution for past wrongs. His carefully planned revenge device is a racetrack, and his instrument is a unsuspecting racehorse – the unsuspecting force he is using to infiltrate the inner sanctum of the multi-billion dollar world of horse racing. Luck pulls no punches in unveiling the gritty realities of the horse racing industry. This is a world rendered in stark, unflinching detail. From the men and women who own the horses, the trainers that condition them, the jockeys who ride them, right down to the horses themselves, Luck presents a myriad of perspectives, each character battling personal demons and conflicts set against the thrilling backdrop of the racecourse. Alongside Hoffman's character, viewers are introduced to a richly diverse supporting ensemble. This includes Bernstein's longtime confidant and driver Gus Demitriou (Dennis Farina), an ex-convict working as a horse trainer, Turo Escalante (John Ortiz), a talented but protean jockey agent, Ronnie Jenkins (Gary Stevens), and a quartet of passionate gamblers (Jason Gedrick, Kevin Dunn, Ritchie Coster, and Ian Hart) whose lives, perhaps unexpectedly, become altered permanently as the series progresses. The show was created and helmed by David Milch (creator of Deadwood) and produced by esteemed director Michael Mann, lending the series notes of cinematic gravitas and a visual brilliance that utilized Mann's flair for tense atmospheric setup and Milch's gift for writing compelling, morally complex characters. Mann also directed the pilot episode, setting the tone for the rest of the series. The narrative structure of Luck is woven meticulously, with storylines unfolding patiently, allowing viewers to become fully immersed in the series' intricate, well-researched world. The stakes are high as viewers are plunged into the exhilarating heights and punishing lows of horse racing. You don't have to be a fan of the sport to appreciate the undercurrents of greed, ambition, loyalty, and desperation that seep through every pore of this species-spanning drama. Hoffman's performance was universally acclaimed and appreciated. His portrayal of Bernstein is filled with grit and magnetism, showing viewers the character's hard exterior surface and giving glimpses of a vulnerable man beneath, embroiled in a world that demands skin just as thick as his own. The performances of the rest of the cast also do not disappoint, each actor breathing nuanced life into these complex characters. Visually, Luck is pulsatingly raw, going so far as to place viewers in the saddle, providing intense, idiosyncratic, and thrilling views of the horse races. The cinematography captures the heart-stopping thrill of the sport, the fierce and frenetic energy of the horses in action, drawn together and contrasted beautifully with quieter, more introspective moments. Nevertheless, the heart and soul of Luck lies in its characters and the world in which they live. While the allure and excitement of the racing acts as a persistent undertone, it is the inner lives of these characters - their struggles, their disappointments, their victories, and their dreams - that undoubtedly take center stage. In closing, Luck, despite its brutal honesty, paints a sympathetic and dramatic portrait of life on and off the racetrack. It showcases the machinations of the horse racing industry, the politics behind it, and the lives affected by it. It's a meticulous, often intense, mishmash of character plots, simmering rivalries, nail-biting races, and compelling dramatic arcs that reach far beyond the finish line. The series offers a masterclass in character-driven drama, immersed in action yet bubbling with a soulfulness only behooving to the sport that it explores and celebrates. Luck brims with the intoxicating thrill of horse racing, the complex dynamics of a high-stake industry, and the subtle nuances of those who dwell in this unique universe. It makes for compelling viewing – whether for fans of the sport, aficionados of high-class drama, or those simply fascinated by the triumphant and devastating aspects of human nature.

Luck is a series categorized as a canceled. Spanning 1 seasons with a total of 9 episodes, the show debuted on 2012. The series has earned a moderate reviews from both critics and viewers. The IMDb score stands at 7.4.
