FX ordered 13 episodes

Here's a good review from TV Guide

http://www.tvguide.com/News/Roush-Re...e-1027538.aspx

Looks great. Not a huge boxing fan, but at least this is on FX and they can do more creatively than a network.

Geofferson

Early reviews have been largely positive -- looking forward to this.

Gunde

I absolutely couldn't care less about boxing. Luckily this looks to be about much more than that.

scorpion

Looks good. Can't wait to check it out tonight.

Fist of Doom

Really looking forward to this. FX has a great track record.

Rypro 525

I was wondering what the buzz was on this, as based on the ads, this looks like a fictionalized take on "the Fighter"

conscience

Interested. Will check it out.

FantasticVSDoom

Been looking forward to this one

sven

I'll be watching.

Geofferson

Forgot to mention that I think this is a great vehicle for star Holt McCallany. He seems to have a lot of potential and has been delegated to supporting roles as a large part of his career thus far (at least, of what I am familiar with).

CaptainMarvel

Other than involving boxing, this and "The Fighter" have very little in common.

I greatly enjoyed the first episode.

MrX

I liked it as well.

The oldest daughter (She's 23)

I don't know about anyone else here, but my FX channel is terrible as far as the sound of the show. I have to turn the volume up to hear anything, then get blasted by the commercials when they start

Geofferson

Predictable, but loved the execution of it. Liked the apporach they took of when to show Lights beating up the two guys at the end of the episode.

This one looks like a winner guys

Rob V

Absolutely LOVED this show! I also enjoyed the flashbacks showing how Lights handled the two guys. I'm in for the full season.

Michael T Hudson

It was really good. Nice to see Nick from the Wire.

FantasticVSDoom

Wow, I thought it was pretty meh until the end... Its just an updated RockyII so far. Ill stick with it a little longer because I still think it has potential, but it needs to pick up a little more.

macnorton

I was impressed last night. Had a very Sopranos feel to it (and used a few locations the show did as well). Holt is convincing as Lights, he plays the character perfectly.

I also loved the flashbacks...it is almost like they (the shows' writers/crew members) are trying to tell us, he blacks out and this is what actually happened (my take...).

Are there some cliche things, sure, but find me a show that doesn't have them. This is a great addition to the already excellent FX line up.

flashburn

Loved it. This and Shameless have been real surprises for me, since I wasn't interested too much in either of these shows based off of the promos.

TGM

loved this. F/X continues to knock it out of the park with their shows.

kantonburg

I set my pass after the first ep. Looks promising.

devilshalo

I set up my pass and it didn't record. FML.

riley_dude

I feel the same. I can't imagine a show about Boxing every week that is better than Rocky.

sven

It would be hard not to be better than Rocky.

DJariya

That was a really solid debut. Holt McCallany was great as Patrick/Lights. The flashbacks that reflected Lights past and current events were really well Done. Good editing. The premise of the show is kind of thin for longevity, but I'm in for however long this lasts.

The scenes from the future episodes look promising. FX really knows how to take chances on quality scripted shows.

Red Dog

Really good. F/X has done it again.
