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.
