Tonight at 10p
The Lottery makes its debut on Lifetime and you don’t want to miss the network’s best series yet. And I’ve watched almost every Lifetime series since they started making their own shows, so I would know.
In 2015, women are slowly becoming infertile for an unknown reason. Within a few years, the last human baby will be born and still no one can figure out why women stopped having children. In 2015, Dr. Alison Lennon (Marley Shelton) comes up with a way to fertilize the first eggs in years. Seems like that would be good news for her, but it is not.
When the government finds out that she’s fertilized 53 eggs and is about to do same to 47 more, they take over her project and kick her out. Now she is on her own, but there are people after and they want her dead.
Right now, those eggs are in lab, and they need to find 100 women to impregnate. The President (Yul Vasquez) decides to hold a lottery to find those women from all walks of life. Who are those lucky women?
But that is only part of our story, Kyle (Michael Graziadei), is the father to one of the last 6 kids born in The US. His wife is a drug addict who left him high and dry to take care of their son, Elvis. The mothers at Elvis’ school don’t think that Kyle is doing a good job as his dad, so they try to get the special kid taken away from his father. When they succeed, he has to kidnap his son to get him back. That leads to them being chased, but will they be found? And what happens when they are caught?
The Lottery is unlike anything I’ve ever seen on television, and it’s so well done you will be hooked from the first minute. So tune it because I promise you will not be disappointed in the brilliant drama that makes us look at world where we are the ones facing extinction. How does that change us human beings? Are we better people for it or are we worse? That is something the show and you will ponder as you watch.
