Entertainment WeeklyKyle AndersonOct 27, 2014
Season 1 Review: The show nails a stellar one-two punch, playing the rapid-fire barbs exchanged between the pigeon and Queensberry against Tyson's straight-ahead buzz-saw gags. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Mike Tyson Mysteries is highbrow lowbrow lampoon, alternately smart and stupid, dizzy and disgusting. Read full review
