Any series with narration is nothing short of LAZY. If the story can't be told on screen, without narration, it needs to be written better.
To have this series narrated in a voice trying to match Tyson's speech issues is simply a poor choice.
I lasted an episode and a half and just couldn't tolerate the narration any longer - and there was nothing which was really that compelling. I love Keitel's work and was stoked when I saw him in this.. but the way the series is written is just REALLY sloppy and lazy. It's RELYING on the narration.. making it all the more poorly written.
It wasn't until after I saw the first episodes that I learned Mike Tyson actually had NOTHING to do with this series...so.. what's the point. A biographical series without any input from the subject who is still very much alive and well seems clearly destined for wild leaps of fiction and inconsistencies.
