The first three episodes of Fight Night: Million Dollar Heist have been released on Peacock, and I’m going to go ahead and recommend it. The show sets up the pieces on the board slowly in the first episode and a half, but once it gets going it’s fun to watch.

Here are some first impressions after the first three episodes of Fight Night: Million Dollar Heist.

The post Ali win monologue was some of the best I’ve ever seen from Don Cheadle: Detective Hudson slowly warming up to Muhammad Ali is a rewarding journey, including when he starts cheering for him during the fight. The monologue we hear Hudson give about his segregated high school football team winning an underground game against their more privileged peers is good stuff. Some of the best I’ve seen from Don in the decades watching him.

The team up montage is the best since Ocean’s Eleven: They’ve even got their own robbery specialties just like Danny Ocean’s guys. Fun fact: Don Cheadle was part of his crew too, as Basher the demolitions expert.

Dexter Darden doesn’t nail the greatest one’s voice but wins us over anyways: There was some criticism online that Darden’s voice isn’t good enough here. But the in ring action and the heart he brings to the role when on screen with Cheadle still makes his time enjoyable.
