I don't like horse racing and I think dude ranches are horse slave plantations. I think horses look sad and don't want to walk around on the same trail everyday with some yanking, kicking dope on their backs.

Yet, I still loved "Luck" (9 p.m. Sunday, HBO) because it's the kind of series the network does so well: it's character-driven, detailed and takes you into a world rich with stories and meaning.
