Did you catch the premiere of FX television's boxing drama Lights Out last Tuesday? Probably not. Not too many folks did.
I was one of the few watching (albeit later via DVR) even though I'm not a big boxing fan. But I really like the movies Raging Bull and The Harder They Fall and I've enjoyed several other FX shows, so I decided to give Lights Out a shot.
Plus, Clark Johnson, who played my Homicide: Life on the Street's fave Meldrick Lewis, directs several episodes, including the first one.
Lights Out wasn't bad, so I'll keep watching (the second episode is tonight), if for no other reason than to see how protagonist Patrick "Lights" Leary's battle with the IRS turns out.
Yep, one of the motivators of Leary's ill-advised career decisions is an IRS audit. Perhaps a case of art imitating life?
