Lucky Hank stars Odenkirk as the eponymous lead, Professor Hank Devereaux, with Mireille Enos as his «unflappable» wife Lily Devereaux. The first-person story centers around Hank’s personal and professional life working as an English department chairman at Railton College, an underfunded institution in a working-class town, and the chaos within it as his life starts to unravel. 

How to watch Lucky Hank

To promote the show, AMC is offering the first episode of Lucky Hank for free via Sling’s recently rebranded free TV streaming service, Sling Freestream. There’s no credit card required to use Sling Freestream, though if you want to catch the rest of the series you’ll need to upgrade to a paid Sling Orange or Sling Blue account, from $40 a month, to stream AMC. Alternatively, you can add AMC Plus to your Freestream account for $9 a month. AMC Plus is also available via Apple TV, Prime Video, DirecTV and more.
