I loved I Tonya and I am loving MIKE for many of the same reasons. I have so much more empathy for Mike Tyson. His talents are undeniable and yet he struggles because the cards are stacked against him. He is a brilliant athlete who struggled and was taken advantage of and he became a punchline but MIKE explores his humanity. The first episode explores his childhood and it is heartbreaking. It shows how difficult it is to succeed even if you are arguably one of the most talented athletes in the world. I think the show treats Mike Tyson's story with respect while leaning in to what a complicated person he is and why. I am routing for him and cannot wait for episode 3!
The acting, writing and directing are excellent
I needed a new show and this is it!
