Terry Terrones

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

Ross McIndoe

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

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

John Anderson

Aug 24, 2022

Tyson is portrayed by Trevante Rhodes (“Moonlight”), albeit in a thoroughly bewildering performance, and the recollections are dramatically recreated. ... Only five of the series’ eight episodes were made available for review and it is, frankly, impossible to know where it is going, if anywhere. Read full review

Robert Lloyd

Aug 25, 2022

Few scenes last long enough to gather any dramatic weight, and relationships are more suggested, or simply stated, than explored. That isn’t to say that some aren’t affecting — the actors see to that, though they must often work against the series’ stylistic breeziness. ... “Mike” does seem intent on ticking off the bullet points of Tyson’s life; its aspirations feel serious, even if the end product doesn’t always measure up.

It's the same hysterical-biopic mentality creator Steven Rogers brought to I, Tonya — and Mike reunites Rogers with Tonya director Craig Gillespie, who has not met a popular song he won't cinematically beat to death. Read full review

Judy Berman

Just because there can be no objectively correct answer to these questions, doesn’t excuse Tyson biographers in any medium from engaging with them. Anything less is a glorified Wikipedia entry. Which is pretty much what the makers of Hulu’s eight-part docudrama Mike have created. Read full review
