In a city bursting with fight night anticipation, streetwise hustler Gordon "Chicken Man" Williams plants himself at the center of the action. His big ambitions, and even bigger talk, put him on a collision course with ruthless criminals, each consumed by their own insatiable hunger for the spoils of the event. As dawn breaks on a city reeling from the heist, JD Hudson, a pioneering Black detective, is thrust into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse as the body count rises. With time running out, JD and Chicken Man race against the clock to clear Chicken's name and survive the dangerous forces closing in.

Dan Einav Financial Times Fight Night is at its most compelling when it goes beyond the titular event to explore the conflicts that arise both within the community and individual characters. Rated: 4/5 Oct 17, 2024 Full Review Benji Wilson Daily Telegraph (UK) It is an all-star cast where almost everyone gets their chance to shimmer... Rated: 4/5 Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Robert Levin Newsday The stars and the style more than compensate for any complaints. Rated: 3/4 Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL After eight episodes of pungent dialogue, criminal reversals and gunfights that pay fond homage to 1970s shoot-em-ups, Fight Night ends with an onscreen dedication that reads, To Atlanta, with love. That sentiment is all over the screen. Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Brandon Avery Just My Opinion Reviews Some of the best casting in Hollywood gather, and they don't disappoint. This show should be the start to many stories based on true events in the same vein. Classic, fun, and entertaining! Rated: 9/10 Nov 16, 2024 Full Review Tony Baker Tony Baker Comedy It's a great time. Rated: 4.5/5 Oct 17, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
