Paste MagazineTerry TerronesAug 19, 2022
Season 1 Review: Much like the man himself, Mike is a series of fascinating yet well-crafted contradictions. At times riveting, sad, funny, and appalling, there are times when you just don’t know what version of Tyson you’re going to get when watching this program. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperAug 24, 2022
Season 1 Review: “Mike” is neither hagiography nor character assassination. ... Any lingering doubts “Mike” will gloss over some of Tyson’s more monstrous actions are erased in the fifth episode, when the P.O.V. switches to that of Desiree Washington, the 18-year-old Miss Black Rhode Island who was raped by Tyson. ... Titled “Desiree,” is almost like a stand-alone short film, with Li Eubanks bringing empathy, humanity and a heroic spirit to her work as Ms. Washington. Read full review

Season 1 Review: For those without a dog in the hunt, “Mike” should make for compelling TV, broad but by turns compassionate and damning. Read full review

The A.V. ClubTodd LazarskiAug 23, 2022
Season 1 Review: Everything feels like a contact high from a recent late-night viewing of a remastered Goodfellas. ... There seems almost too much to explore about the psyche of the man Mike Tyson: there’s the price of celebrity, the personal cost of extreme success, how exploitative systems burn and churn their product.

Slant MagazineRoss McIndoeAug 23, 2022
Season 1 Review: 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. And unless they pull their punches, the final three episodes are squared up to deliver a total knock-out. Read full review

IndieWireSusannah GruderAug 25, 2022
Season 1 Review: The series’ creators wanted to give an unbiased look at Tyson’s life, allowing the audience to decide how they feel about him for themselves. It’s a worthwhile experiment. Read full review
