FX Original Series "Lights Out"

[Evelisse]

I couldn't find a thread on this show, if there is, sorry...

Did anyone else catch this show tonight? I liked it, am curious to see where they go with it.

 

[Punisher Rising]

I watched the pilot as well and enjoyed it a lot. I'm eager to see the remaining episodes.

 

[That-Guy]

Yeah, saw it last night. Really liked it. I've always like Holt MaCallany and it's good to see him get a legitimate lead role. If Hollywood could ever figure out how to make a half decent Punisher film, Holt would make an awesome Frank Castle.

 

[Maximus One]

Watching it as we speak. Im still pissed at FX for cancelling Terriers so i miht say screw it lol

Yes I like his work, and let me say I felt the intimidation from the look he was giving the boy interested in his daughter through the screen

I was thinking the same thing, actually.

It's good to see Holt getting a lead role, I've always found him very underrated and overlooked as an actor.

Watched two shows today -- the Cape and this one. Lights Out was far and away superior. This was well acted and gritty real. I am hopeful that this yummy goodness will continue throught the rest of the series.

Yeah, I agree. It makes you wonder how some actors get constantly overlooked. But hey, even if this show doesn't end up being a success for him, at least he'll always be the "His Name is Robert Paulson" Guy. lol

In all seriousness though, I think that this show has a lot of potential. I just worry that people who aren't into boxing aren't going to watch it, even though boxing is only part of the story.

 

[Punisher Rising]

I'm not a boxing fan and I really enjoyed the pilot. For me, Holt's got a certain charisma and presence to him that makes any role he gets worth watching and he definitely has enough of both to carry this show on his own.

 

[squeekness]

He shows up in everything, lol. He was in the helicopter at the end of Perfect Getaway, too. I was trying to figure out why he was so familiar and then yeah, I recalled him saying that line from Fight Club.

 

[That-Guy]

Heh, yeah. He's had a lot of tiny parts in things. He was in this movie I saw last weekend called Stolen. He was totally wasted in it though, unfortunately. He was also on the second (HORRIBLE) season of Heroes, in what was, sadly, one of the worst subplots that show ever had.

 

[squeekness]

I think he was in The Losers, too, another small bit part. He just keeps popping up all over which is cool. He's a good actor for the roles he takes. He's perfect for this. Very believable.

 

[Mace Dolex]

I knew I had seen this guy Holt somewhere, as one of the prisoners in Alien 3 and in Creepshow 2.

 

[Dr Lee]

tried watching this... got to the bit when he got to the office before i gave up... it just bored me...

 

[squeekness]

I knew I had seen this guy Holt somewhere, as one of the prisoners in Alien 3 and in Creepshow 2.

Really? I had no idea he went as far back as Aliens 3. I loved that movie. Peter Postelwaite was the shiz.

 

[KenK]

Really? I had no idea he went as far back as Aliens 3. I loved that movie.

Yeah, he tried to rape Ripley.

 

[squeekness]

I need to see that again. I've been contemplating buying the box set in Blu-Ray.

 

[Punisher Rising]

Watched the second episode today, pretty good and the ending is one that'll leave you in suspense. I unfortunately missed the first twelve or so minutes, hope the episode is on Hulu this week so I can catch what I missed.

 

[Mr.Webs]

Wow, this show is surprising me. Friggin' love it.

 

[Evelisse]

good stuff so far

 

[Shifty]

Ratings are similar to Terriers, which were bad, so keep that in mind.

 

[squeekness]

It's a little slow though that doesn't bother me. I just can't see how they can scratch a second season out of it anyhow...

 

[Punisher Rising]

Caught the third episode last night, still really like this show. Hope the ratings improve, I'd hate to see this axed early It'd be nice to see this last for a few seasons.

 

[Maximus One]

Lmao this show isnt that good. I couldnt even pay attention to last weeks episode and if further evidence is needed, I honestly forgot there was a new ep on last nite. When I forget about a show being on, yea thats a bad sign lol

 

[Mr.Webs]

Love the show so far. Lights' speech to the kid while he was in the dark was brilliant.
