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.

Robert Levin Newsday The stars and the style more than compensate for any complaints. Rated: 3/4 Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Alison Herman Variety “Fight Night” compensates for its workmanlike blueprint (true story plus big names equals profit) with nuanced ideas and engaging performances. Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Eric Deggans NPR It's a compelling, raucous, entertaining mix which looks at a pivotal moment in Black America through a new lens, which makes Fight Night, in my book, quite the knockout. Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Marty Brown Common Sense Media It's interesting that a series about Ali, for whom style and substance were fascinatingly intertwined, would so blatantly choose one over the other. Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Times of India Staff The Times of India The series brings together a talented cast, ensuring each actor shines and their fans aren’t left disappointed. This heist drama delivers a thrilling and entertaining ride from start to finish.

SADIE B Honestly, I’ve never been a fan of Kevin Hart’s movies until now, but he truly delivered an outstanding performance and held his own among a cast of great actors. This series is definitely worth watching, as it beautifully captures the essence of its era. It’s a well-told story that keeps you hooked, eagerly waiting for the next episode. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Jo M Amazing show , every episode is eye catching and keeps you stuck … love you Kevin 💙 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Anastasia H Best series I've seen in years! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Jamie C This series is a "based on true events" version of the classic movie Uptown Saturday Night.
