Mike: Más allá de Tyson

The visual story telling is amazing using backdrops and on locations scenes in NYC. The beginning of the series adds a thin layer to what was already known about mike and what can be found in his book by taking keywords and dramatizing it but doesnt over do it. The kid that plays teen Tyson is amazing and looks just like him which is really suprising Otherwise I would aliken this series to another Pam and Tommy I feel like Hulu is trying to bank off. It gets saltier knowing that mike tyson didnt back this at all and seems like a money grab before the actual film by Scorsese does him justice. Although just being a carbon copy with less emphasis on actual boxing I like how they fill in the gaps in history by making well shot and put together scenes that add to the legacy, but we will see if it gets better or worse. Granted how much I already know about Mike's bio I find myself more interested in the fabled or made up scenes and imagery then the actual story.

... you aren't seeing the forest through the trees! This show has potential to be a great overall series and I'll go in record and say that it will garner Emmy nominations - give it time and you'll see the high quality in every aspect of this show.

The first five minutes in I was thinking I may just turn it off and browse for another hour on what to watch next. The reason I felt this way is because the lead character didn't look like Tyson to me.....but let me tell you, he grows on you. His acting is really solid and he's built like Mike, which is not an easy task to have that physical stature. The way it's filmed, the acting, the music, the length of the episodes, are all great. I think they did a stand up job with this mini series. When each episode ended, I found myself looking forward to the next one, and the next one, until we reach the final round. Give it a shot.

I understand that a lot of people on social media were upset with Mike Tyson not being a part of his own story. People were equally upset with him not receiving any compensation for the biopic. I understand the anger and disappointment; however, if Mike Tyson had control of his own story it's possible that certain aspects of himself would not have been shown. The Hulu presented biopic, "Mike" is meant to leave the viewer with having to formulate their own opinion.

Mike Tyson and Don King were both well-portrayed. It felt like you were watching them play themselves. There are a total of 8 episodes with 22 minutes or so to each episode. Personally, I would have liked if the episodes were longer and would not have minded if there were multiple seasons to this biopic.

I listen to and watch Teddy Atlas' YouTube podcast called "The Fight Game," and he has talked about Cus D'Amato at length and never once talked poorly about him. Teddy Atlas was a "street tough" himself and neither he nor Cus I think knew how to address Mike Tyson's behavior. I understand that I am only basing my opinion off of Teddy Atlas so I do not truly know if Cus D'Amato was portrayed accurately. I think it leaves the viewer once again having to formulate their own opinion on who was actually in Mike Tyson's life to support him and who was there to only manipulate him. It left me wondering about Cus D'Amato's intentions, but I've heard consistently that he believed in him and treated him like family. Cus D'Amato, by the time he met Mike Tyson, was older and had lived for boxing and I think that was his way of teaching him about life and showing him love. Cus D'Amato's unwavering support of Mike Tyson I believe eventually pushed Teddy Atlas away.

I think the biopic does a good job of also holding Mike Tyson accountable for his own behaviors, that although a victim of trauma and being used by unsavory people he also made poor choices and hurt a lot of people, physically and emotionally.

I was not too fond of the boxing scenes and wish they were a bit longer. I understand it's about his story, but the boxing scenes also matter. For a figure that can be so polarizing I also wish they went slower with telling Mike Tyson's story. In some ways it felt rushed. The in-between narrating was excessive and took away from certain moments. It felt like literally in every scene there was some kind of narration. I don't need it all the time to understand the point. In some ways it also felt like the writer/director were trying too hard. When Mike Tyson was shown on stage there were some scenes where you could see the line of his bald cap. It might sound trivial, but for a major streaming service you have to do better.

It's a good biopic, but you don't need to watch it more than once. A 6/10 rating is more than fair.

Forgot one minor detail this actor looks nothing like iron Mike ! Lol Only watch one episode it seems all right. Nothing to lose sleep over. I heard Mike Tyson was pissed off about it. That's why I had to watch it. Talks like him acts like him walks like him does not look like him whatsoever you think Hulu with a cat somebody who looks like Mike Tyson.//////////:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;344444444444444444444444;;;;;;;;;;;;;$$)$$$$$'nnmmmmmmjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjhhhhhhhggggggggggggggggggggggyhhhjjjhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhbnbbbbbbbbbb.
