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.

Critics Consensus

Skillfully weaving an inflection point in Black culture into a rollicking heist story, Fight Night is punchy entertainment with a never-better Kevin Hart broadening his dramatic range.

4/5

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.

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.

9/10

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!

This actually ended up being really awesome. Like the balance of all the different characters and their stories was done so well, especially as they intertwined. There's twists that I didn't expect, a good dramatic performance (mixed with comedy of course) from Kevin Hart, and just overall a good time. The only thing I hated about it was the commercials I had to watch on Peacock.

I was surprised by how much I liked this. I ordered a Peacock subscription without commercials after watching the first episode for free and it was worth every penny! This was so well done with great actors and plot!

Kudos to the entire production crew who executed this movie and brought it to life! Big ups to the Writers was Writing "thank you!" you don't have a-lot of talented script writers anymore.
