	Author	Review
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"A retelling of the Tyson myth rhat’s too in love with its subject (...) 'Mike' forgoes opportunities to examine the unitary person and symbol Tyson is."	NEU
United States	Helena Andrews-Dyer The Washington Post	‘Mike’ is an entertaining but not illuminating look at the embattled boxer Mike Tyson’s story is retold in a dramatized, unauthorized Hulu series, but there’s not much new to tell	NEU
United States	Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"If you’re interested in what made Mike Tyson a successful boxer, beyond the ability to deliver and take a punch, or even what makes boxing interesting beyond belts and paydays, you had best look elsewhere	NEG
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	'Mike' isn’t some total puff piece, but it’s more invested in trying to understand Tyson and the things he has either admitted to doing (...) than in actually depicting those things and letting the audience draw their own conclusions"	NEU
United States	Adam Lock Ready Steady Cut	"An unflinching and raw account of the controversial boxer’s life, with Trevante Rhodes throwing his absolute all into his portrayal of Mike Tyson (...) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Susannah Gruder IndieWire	The team behind 'I, Tonya' delivers an unconvincing exercise in self-examination in their boxing biopic that's more recycled than revelatory.	NEG
United States	Todd Lazarski AV Club	"In 'Mike', Tyson gets the I, Tonya treatment—until he doesn't. Hulu's frenetic, fourth-wall-breaking series charts the highs and lows of Iron Mike"	POS
United Kingdom	A.A. Dowd The Guardian	"Moonlight’s Trevante Rhodes is the best thing about a patchy new series that attempts to dissect a difficult figure (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Terry Terrones Paste Magazine	Much like the man himself, Mike is a series of fascinating yet well-crafted contradictions"	POS
United States	Robert Daniels The Playlist	"[It] doesn’t give an accurate portrait of Tyson’s skill or work ethic. Instead, it too often opts to portray him as innately gifted."	NEG
United States	Ronda Racha Penrice The Wrap	"[It] will undoubtedly feel rushed because it covers so much ground so quickly when it feels like the show had time to linger (...) But there is something about Rhodes’ performance (...) that makes it worth watching"	NEU
United States	Ross McIndoe Slant	"Mike Tyson biopic lands a big punch (...) 'Mike' refuses to equivocate on Tyson’s guilt and, as a result, finally seems ready to reckon with everything that its lead character truly is (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"We’d rather see a bioseries about Mike Tyson where Tyson is intimately involved, because we’re pretty sure it will have a lot of subtleties about Tyson’s life that 'Mike' lacks"	NEG
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Trevante Rhodes nails Tyson’s look and sound (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
