Best Premium Channels: HBO hits big with 'Luck'

Via Directsattv.com - The award-winning HBO horse racing series, Luck, has been so successful that executives may choose to make it into a series. The star-studded series features Dustin Hoffman in the lead role. It was written by David Milch, who was the writer for Deadwood, another extremely popular HBO series. More exciting still, the series is being directed by Michael Mann, director of films such as Collateral, Heat, and The Aviator. The series focuses on the world of horse racing, an area about which Milch is particularly passionate. Filmed primarily in sunny Southern California (at Santa Anita racetrack), the series offers a unique take on a world not often portrayed on television.

Due to Luck's success, HBO has indicated its interest in picking up the series for more seasons. HBO's dedication to bringing viewers creative and unique entertainment is part of what makes it one of the best premium channels. What separates the best premium channels from the also-rans is unflinching support for new shows that break the mold. Viewers can watch HBO by ordering the best premium channels from DIRECTV.
