Lucky Hank live stream: preview

Lucky Hank is based on Richard Russo's 1997 novel Straight Man. It tells the story of William Henry Devereaux Jr (Odenkirk), a disgruntled chairman of the English department at the underfunded Railton College in Pennsylvania. The eponymous Hank is struggling through a midlife crisis, brought on by unresolved issues with his father, a mediocre and entitled student body, and the many divisions within his own department. Cue frequent outbursts at his students, friends, co-workers, and basically everyone he comes into contact with.

Behind every middle-aged man baby is a good woman, and in this case, that woman is Lily (Mireille Enos). As the grounded vice principal of the local high school, Lily begins to question whether her chosen path alongside her frequently tantruming spouse is really her best course.

As if Odenkirk's involvement isn't enough (he's coming off a decade and a half of standout performances in both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul), the show has some other major talent behind it. Enos has been a televisual mainstay since the 90s, with her work including Sex and the City, CSI Miami, The Killing and Good Omens. It also stars Olivia Welch (Fear Street), Diedrich Bader (Veep) and Suzanne Cryer (Silicon Valley).

There's big talent behind the cameras too. The show was developed by Paul Lieberstein (The Office) and Aaron Zelman (Resurrection), while the pilot episode was  directed by Peter Farrelly (There's Something About Mary). Safe to say we can expect plenty of laughs.

Lucky Hank is on AMC/AMC+ in the US and Stan in Australia. Remember: you can watch Lucky Hank from anywhere using a VPN.
