Just quality work all-round. If it wasn't for the complete lack of foul language, one wouldn't be able to recognize this as a made-for-TV movie. This is just good cinematic story-telling.

Variety

Monday Night Mayhem [is] a reasonably strong telling of Cosell's rise as an American icon and "MNF" as an entertainment paragon.

Patti LuPone doesn't have enough to do as Cosell's wife, Emmy. On the other hand, we see more than enough to make us cringe at everybody else, especially Chad L. Coleman's O. J. Simpson.

Now here's a film that reads fairly ho-hum, but once it's final credits have rolled you'll agree you've just watched one of the more stimulating and interesting telemovies of recent times
