Stanton plays the title character, a 90-year-old man living alone in a small town in the desert Southwest. Lucky has a set morning routine: Shower and shave, brush his teeth, make coffee, do some yoga, walk to the diner, trade insults with the owner, Joe (Barry Shabaka Henley), fill in part of his crossword puzzle, walk down Main Street, shout an obscenity at a storefront (for reasons explained eventually), go back to his house and watch his stories.
His evening routine isn’t much different. He usually hangs out at the local bar, owned by the tough-talking Elaine (Beth Grant).
