    Storyline

    Edit
    What if you could control luck? Would that be the greatest power you could give a man, or his worst nightmare? From the mind of Stan Lee, the comic book legend, comes a different kind of superhero in this bold crime thriller series about a brilliant but flawed cop who can control luck. —Carnival Films

    • Trivia
      One of very few Stan Lee projects not based on any preexisting comic book or animated material.
    • Goofs
      The main character is continually addressed as "detective", which is par for the course in the USA, but not in the UK. On the British Isles, police officers are addressed by rank, with the "detective" part dropped and just Constable, Sergeant, Inspector etc. being used.

    Not a Marvel Universe story.
    Reading the other reviews, I believe that most people expected to see a spandex-dressed superhero series. Stan Lee's name in the very title of the series would cause that.

    This is a police story. Police detectives who have to deal with something seemingly impossible. It is the concept of ordinary people who have to deal with extraordinary situations.

    It is closer to "Fringe" than anything else. Not much action, but plenty of mystery. It has an intriguing plot (with a few minor flaws) that keeps interest quite high. Acting is OK, nothing exceptional, but nothing disappointing either.

    Overall this is a great story, told in a satisfying way. As I am a fan of the genre, I consider "Lucky Man" to be one of the top 3 series of 2016.
