    Has anyone been watching "Lights Out" on FX?

    I've watched every episode thus far and I'm impressed. The show seems to be nailing it on every level.

    I'm hoping that the ratings reflect the quality of the show so it stays on the air.

    Once I saw the awful ratings for the pilot, I decided not to after that, because I'm not getting ****** into another great show that has no viewers and gets canceled so soon after Terriers.

    Justified starts in a week, that fills my TV needs.

      Not watching for the same reason Bojangles isn't. If the season is praised, I'll have to watch it eventually either way though.

          If people don't watch, it won't stay on the air. Watch

          It is getting rave reviews by many.

              Do you like it Larry? I've been pleasantly surprised. I did not have high hopes initially.

              The scene in the bar made me laugh last night. Not only did it remind me of life as a modern day boxing fan;


              "He says he'll put it on one TV with no volume"

              But it reminded me of conversations between boxing fans regarding MMA;

              "What are these guys doing? Trying to hug eachother?"

                What I like most about this series is that it is set in modern day, yet they don't glamorize the sport as if it is still America's passion. It is very honest to what boxing is and has become in many regards.

                  I like the show and think the lead actor is doing an excellent job playing an ex heavyweight champion.
