Key takeaway Miami native Anya Taylor-Joy plays “Lucky,” who isn’t so lucky after a carefully planned multimillion-dollar heist goes wrong.
Why this matters in The Miami
The new Apple TV series "Lucky" starring Miami native Anya Taylor-Joy brings a thrilling con artist story to the small screen, but it also touches on the darker side of a life of crime. As the series explores the consequences of a multimillion-dollar heist gone wrong, it's a reminder that Miami's own history with organized crime and law enforcement is complex. The city's residents are no strangers to the cat-and-mouse game between criminals and the authorities, with the Miami Police Department and Miami-Dade Police working to keep the community safe. The show's portrayal of a character always looking over her shoulder may resonate with some in Miami's neighborhoods, such as Little Havana or Wynwood, where residents have seen the impact of crime firsthand. As the series delves into the personal costs of a life of crime, it may spark conversations about the realities of crime and punishment in Miami.
