Lights Out

This new show on FX debuted this past Tuesday and after having TIVO'd it I watched this late last night, sorry Dave.

The show is the story of boxer Lights Leary who having lost a controversial title fight on points retires at his wife's demand. Now it is five years later and he has the huge house, three girls in private school, a wife in medical school and a brother who he put through college running his business affairs. He also is broke.

This puts Lights played by Holt McCallney in a tough spot. He had medical issues, is haunted by his last fight and even finds that bar patrons want to give him, the last heavyweight champion, lip.

I liked the show. I think there is room to grow. It is a boxing show but about much more. A little fish out of water.

Stacy Keach is fantastic as Lights Dad.

I look forward to watching this show again.
