Earl is a low-life who buys a winning lottery ticket, only to get hit by a car, losing the ticket in the process. He then realizes in the hospital that his bad luck is the result of karma in which fate punishes him for all the rotten things he's ever done in his life; therefore, he then decides to dedicate his life to making amends to all the people he has hurt in his life.

Earl Hicky was the kind of Guy who did bad things & had a bad life. After he'd won $100,000 on a scratch card, he got hit by a car while jumping for Joy & lost it too. His hospital TV told him about Karma, how if you do good things, good things will happen. This gave Earl an epiphany that turned his life & luck around. He decided to list all the bad things that he'd done in his life & one-by-one he'd make up for it. This hit US comedy, with a hilarious cast of colorful characters, shows us the bumpy journey Earl takes to improve his life. Written by Phoebe

Earl Hickey is a ne'er do well without a job or a direction in life. Instead, he spends his days drinking beer, stealing whatever isn't bolted down and being a leech on society. But when he wins the lottery of a lifetime, Earl thinks his luck may have just changed...until he's hit by a car. As he recovers in a hospital bed, Earl realizes that maybe the reason why he's there is because of a simple five letter word: karma. For every rotten thing he's done, a rotten thing comes right back to him; and the only way he can stop that is to make good for every bad deed. Having compiled a lengthy list of things he's done to people, Earl sets out to right all the wrongs from his past. All of this on the promise that maybe, he can enjoy his fortune once and for all, but only if he can finish the list first. Aiding him is his lifelong best friend and brother, Randy and an ensemble of characters to assist, observe, amuse, berate, or are just there for Earl Hickey. Written by mystic80
