What makes a feminine rage story worth watching? What keeps us rewatching Gone Girl and remaking Carrie over and over again? There’s something so invigorating about a woman leaving it all behind and seeking revenge on those who wronged her, and what makes that even more intriguing is when she’s constantly outsmarting those around her.

Lucky, Apple TV’s latest thriller series, was also originally a book, but in the careful hands of Jonathan Tropper and Anya Taylor-Joy, it’s an instant classic full of heartstopping sequence after heartstopping sequence.
