What to Know

Critics Consensus

This unauthorized biopic of The Baddest Man on the Planet is undeniably ambitious as it weighs the legendary boxer's many contradictions, but it ultimately punches itself out with uneven execution.

Mike: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Candice Frederick Huffington Post It doesn’t take very long for “Mike” to really go off the rails. Dec 6, 2022 Full Review Mike: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Louis Chilton Independent (UK) Not a knockout, that’s for sure. Call it a respectable loss on points. No biting involved. Rated: 3/5 Sep 8, 2022 Full Review Mike: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) It is efficiently made and superficially entertaining, as the drama whips along in half-hour episodes, which neatly divide phases of Tyson’s life. Rated: 3/5 Sep 8, 2022 Full Review Mike: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Martin Carr Yahoo! Movies This Disney+ series on the life and times of Mike Tyson, is a cleverly constructed piece of drama, fronted by powerhouse performances from Trevante Rhodes and Russell Hornsby. May 20, 2023 Full Review Mike: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Chris Wasser Irish Independent The Mike Tyson story is a tricky one to tell. If it was a work of fiction, you’d call it far-fetched. Yet Mike, the unauthorised Mike Tyson screen story, tells it with all the dramatic flair of a Wikipedia entry. Sep 14, 2022 Full Review Mike: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Keith Watson metro.co.uk Trevante Rhodes looks the real deal as Tyson in this eight-part drama but the script shadowboxes around his flaws.

Raj S It was not as bad as the reviews and Trevante captured the essence of Tyson Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Cristian s Horrible, sencillamente mala. La típica de soy chorro, borracho, drogadicto y violín pero es culpa de la sociedad. Esta hecha deliberadamente para que el espectador odie al protagonista, otra no hay. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/19/23 Full Review tracy g love love loved this show. brilliant acting, great story well written Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Brandon S The key word everyone is missing here is unbiased. Mike would most likely leave out some very controversial moments in life. Mike is celebrated now because he loathes about all of the mistakes he's made. Just as Mike has been taken advantage of we forget the people he's taken advantage of and if his story played out in the present he would be cancelled. I appreciated the brutal honesty in this show and though not perfect it left no stone unturned. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/19/22 Full Review Audience Member This miniseries was pretty good. Trevante Rhodes, Russell Hornsby, Laura Harrier, Harvey Keitel, and the rest of the cast did a pretty good job in this miniseries. This true story about one of the greatest heavyweight champions was dramatic, tragic, and unbelievable. It's about going from nothing to something and taking it all for granted, but later you realize that you need to make changes in order to get your life back in order. If you're a Hulu member, you should watch this miniseries sometime. Don't pay attention to the terrible reviews this series is getting, those people have terrible tastes. It's worth watching. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review peter b A great insight into the world of Mike Tyson. I don't understand the dislike for this series. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
