- Synopsis
- TV Series (2010-2011). 13 Episodes. An aging former Irish-American heavyweight boxing champion Patrick "Lights" Leary tries to find his identity after retiring from the sport he loved so much. After years of wear and tear in the ring, he is diagnosed with pugilistic dementia, a neurological disorder that affects boxers who suffer too many blows to the head, which gradually causes memory loss and constant headaches. Now, Lights is struggling to support his wife and three daughters, especially when his dwindling finances have him on shaky ground. He must decide whether to accept the brutal and intimidating job of a debt collector or return to the ring for a comeback to become the champ once again.
- Critics' reviews
-
-
"It's quickly clear that this skillfully sustained, sharply plotted series is a fighter saga you'll want to follow to the final bell."
-
"Personally, I have even less interest in boxing than I do in those other worlds, so when I say I swallowed most of the 13-episode first season of FX's new boxing drama,' Lights Out' in a couple of marathon gulps, it's saying something."
-
"At its strongest, it freshens those themes without melodrama, opting instead for slow-boil tension"
-
"'Lights Out' isn't always comfortable watching, because it forces people we like to do things we don't like. But if it's sometimes hard to watch, it's harder not to."
