‘Lucky 7’ will be lucky to last
ABC just doesn’t seem to be trying with “Lucky 7,” based on the British series “Lucky.”
The show focuses on a group of gas station co-workers who split a $45 million lottery jackpot.
A better name for “Lucky 7” might be “Lucky to Last 7 Weeks.” The cast is underwhelming, with many of the actors feeling more like place-holders than first or even final choices. And everyone involved in the drama sure makes a big hullabaloo over a relatively modest $45 million split numerous ways.
What: “Lucky 7”
When: 10 p.m. Sept. 24, KTNV-TV, Channel 13
Who’s in it: Matt Long, Luis Antonio Ramos, Isiah Whitlock Jr.
