New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleyNov 18, 2013
Season 1 Review: Lee directs the film in a way that spotlights Tyson’s humor and a degree of articulation that probably still surprises a lot of people. Read full review

People WeeklyTom GliattoNov 20, 2013
Season 1 Review: The anecdotes slam into each other with a punch-drunk indifference--but director Spike Lee's style is a series of swift jabs. [18 Nov 2013, p.47]

Entertainment WeeklyJessica ShawNov 15, 2013
Season 1 Review: There's no doubt that the former heavyweight champ comes off far better than you ever imagined in this filming of his 2012 Broadway one-man show, directed with spark and sincere admiration by longtime friend Spike Lee. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Strictly in TV terms, Lee has done an admirable job of bringing the 86-minute performance to the screen, for the most part avoiding tight close-ups because Tyson’s body and movements are such a part of the show, working up a noticeable sweat as he prowls the stage. Read full review
