Review: Stan Lee’s Lucky Man (S1 E1/10), Friday 22nd January, Sky1

We’ve all seen that the seemingly never-ending ubiquity of the cinematic phenomenon of superhero movies cross over the into the TV landscape recently, most notably thanks to Netflix, who have hit two home runs with Daredevil and Jessica Jones (both Marvel adaptations). Each one of them has an element of crime and in the case of Jessica Jones it handled the superhero thing with so much sensitivity and gritty realism that you almost forgot it was part of the superhero genre. Even though something like a Jessica Jones would sit very well on this site, I’ve decided not to go down the superhero route (I mean, how much can we possibly watch and review?), but now Sky1 has got in on the action and teamed up with legendary, 93-year-old Marvel icon, Stan Lee, for a new 10-part series set in London. It’d be rude to not have look.
