I'm shocked by the terrible ratings and suspect half the people haven't even watched the show. The main actor does an excellent job of capturing the essence of Tyson and the first few episodes are pretty entertaining. My biggest knock on most biopics is how they allow the subject to influence the story which ultimately robs the movie/show of any authenticity. I love Mike Tyson and find him to be a compelling story teller, but allowing him to choose what goes in or out of this show would have been a mistake. If you're looking for garbage like that check out Bohemian Rhapsody, Ali, or Straight Out of Compton.
Wow this t v series is A Great and educational And Someone realistic On One of the greatest boxers in the history Of the Sport It perfectly captures Him As a rough kid in The seventies Also, if you want Two Be inspired and appreciate life this show is for you I feel like I learned a lot from watching this show I also knew nothing about his life. Before I watch the show Also, the actors are very good in the character They play And I can see This show did very well It also depicts New york Pretty well I highly recommend this t v series If you wanna learn about his life watch it Good show. I'm glad that you made this a limited series I wouldn't have any other way.
I learned alot more about Mike Tyson in this series. It makes alot more sense how Mike Tyson ended up broke. Starting from his child hood and losing alot early he did not have many role models and many people who actually cared for him. It seems almost everyone around him didn't have his best interest. But one thing there is Mike Tyson defenitley is someone to look up to in the process of being nothing to something.
All he really knew Is one thing and he grew up and became rich off that. It's funny you never know that one thing you're completely good at it could make you super rich and famous, over all this was a good series and the plot was always on point.

... you aren't seeing the forest through the trees! This show has potential to be a great overall series and I'll go in record and say that it will garner Emmy nominations - give it time and you'll see the high quality in every aspect of this show.
I understand how lots of people might give it a low score because Mike Tyson doesn't approve of the show, but the show itself is really good and very deep. I wish Mike had more to do with the production but if it were me I wouldn't want this show to air either, but it's a good show. Whether it's all the true or not only mike Tyson knows, and I'm not gonna take another persons telling of someone's life to heart, but all I know is, it's a good show. The rape scene is where I assume he wouldn't definitely not approve of and honestly at this point I'm just typing words cause I guess you need to write 600 characters in order to make a review but I said what I said, I'm making an unbiased review, it's a good show, well acted, well written, and that's it. Whether it's all true or not I'm not sure, and I love mike Tyson but I have my own life and I watch this show for entertainment that's it. It's entertaining and well put together, no matter the way the show goes my view on Mike Tyson isn't going to change. He's still one of the best heavyweight boxing champions of all time and even after watching this show and feeling like I know him more, I don't, so my opinion won't change.
