LuckyHank showrunners/writers PaulLieberstein and Aaron Zelman break down that Season 1 finale on AMC_TV, what we can expect going into Season 2, working with mrbobodenkirk, and lots more in our exclusive interview.
Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for Season 1 of Lucky Hank.After eight episodes filled with lighthearted humor, enough pathos to make you tear up, and stunning performances from an ensemble cast led by Bob Odenkirk, the dark comedy, Lucky Hank, adapted from Richard Russo’s book Straight Man has officially wrapped up its critically acclaimed first season on AMC.
PAUL LIEBERSTEIN: Yeah, I think very little will have changed permanently. I think that group doesn’t say thank you. LIEBERSTEIN: Yeah, she was thrilled to see him come by, legitimately. Then, as he was in the bathroom, the reality of his presence kind of set in, and here they are in this single-room apartment in New York, on the verge of a very big life change that they hadn’t really discussed. And that could more likely go sour than go sweet. So, she’s just thinking about it, I think.
There’s a very dark scene that transpires between young Hank and Hank Sr. when he’s about to kill himself. What went into the construction of that scene? Because the show is a comedy until it isn’t, and then there’s this underlying pain that digs deep into Hank. How did you manage to find a balance between that tone and humor? I know both of you have very different backgrounds from TV, so I feel like it adds a nice balance.
ZELMAN: That’s interesting. We definitely think that’s a really interesting relationship, and I think that idea that you said, that she maybe did it to hurt him, I don’t see that, personally, as something she did consciously necessarily. And, I don’t think that he was trying to hurt her, even though he did.
I love Mireille, she brings such a joy and vibrancy to every scene. I thought it was fascinating what she brought to Lily because I also get a sense that her character is nothing like Hank’s, and their marriage had some cracks from long ago in it, and it’s a bit broken, and they’ve just kind of been repairing it here and there. Like, even in the way Hank forgot about Catherine Keener — I don’t think that was one of those cameos you guys just decided to put in.
