If we were betting men we’d probably slap down all the doubloons we own on HBO’s up and coming series Luck being a sure fire ratings hit.

Of course nobody has seen Luck yet so the jury is still out, but taking into account that it’s directed and produced by Michael Mann, (Heat, Miami Vice), created By David Milch, (Deadwood), and stars Dustin Hoffman, Nick Nolte, Dennis Farina, Michael Gambon and Richard Kind it’s safe to say there’s very little that could go wrong with this series.

Hoffman stars as Chester ‘Ace’ Bernstein, who comes out of prison, after serving as a long time tough guy to various gambling rackets, to enact a possible heist with his former muscle Gus Economou (Farina). Nick Nolte plays a disillusioned racing trainer desperately searching for a second chance.

Luck will be shown in the UK sometime in 2012.

Notice how we used the word ‘series‘ in the title? That’s because we refuse to use the word ‘season‘, simply because we’ve been using the British word for decades and there’s no real need to change and start using the American version now.

Take yesterday for instance we had rowed ashore for some supplies and while we were pushing our ~~cart~~ trolley up and down the aisles we noticed that many of the large family sized packets of crisps have change their product titles to ‘chips‘. There’s also a poster campaign doing the rounds appealing for ‘rookie lifeguards’, should that not be ‘trainee lifeguards’?

Anyway here’s Andrew Lincoln bashing some zombies about with a rock.
