ABOUT THE SERIES
From creator/screenwriter Steven Rogers and the team behind I, Tonya and showrunner Karin Gist, executive producer of Our Kind of People, MIKE explores the dynamic and controversial story of Mike Tyson. The 8-episode limited series explores the tumultuous ups and downs of Tyson’s boxing career and personal life - from being a beloved global athlete to a pariah and back again. Focusing the lens on Mike Tyson, the series examines class in America, race in America, fame and the power of media, misogyny, the wealth divide, the promise of the American Dream and ultimately our own role in shaping Mike’s story.
MIKE is an unauthorized and no-holds-barred look at the life of Mike Tyson - and it is one wild ride.

Huge respect and love for Iron Mike Tyson, but honestly no one will ever like the way a biopic is done about them. It’s Hollywood! Besides Mike’s displeasure: I believe Trevante’s portrayal of Mike was on point. Shoutout to Trevante Rhoades

[@idek-w2m]

man people gone hate cause Mike not involved but trevante is an amazing actor

[@jeremiah1966]

Trevante needs to have a sit down with Mike.

[@Zedrart]

Probably wouldn't go very well

[@Nyicolee]

I don't think the actor would be the one to do that

[@ms.remihabiba5158]

How do u know that he never met with him?

[@stephenalston826]

Not once did they speak about Mike Tyson the person. Having his blessing. Sitting down and talking with Mike. Really trying to understand who he was as a person. They are treating it like he is some made up mythical creature. He is a real person that's still alive. That you are acting like. This is sad.

[@carolinemorley5546]

I know like Tyson is upset,but I started watching the series last night and I loved it I am hooked. Hopefully Tyson would like it and approve it later

[@tiarah9239]

Yes it's a great show!

[@stephenalston826]

Why would he want to watch his life story being told by someone who didn't come to him and ask him for his blessing. Why would he watch someone tell the most intimate,hard and rough points of his life that didmt care enough about him as a human being? How would you feel? I refuse to watch it. It's bigger than just oh I hope he gets over it. It's people prospering off of him, his story, and his abilities which is one of the biggest problems he has had his whole. The idea of people using him. People taking advantage of him. Not knowing who you can trust. This is not ok.

[@stephenalston826]

@@carolinemorley5546 he doesn't have to "give" away his rights. You're not understanding. It's not about them having the right to do it. It's about common decency. So now we can't care about how someone feels or what they say unless we know then? Its tasteless. You are an actor amd director and you claim you want to tell the story of someone's life the first thing you should do is talk to that someone. Yall lack so much empathy these days its astounding. But yall could care less as long as you are paid and entertained huh?

[@Daoless]

@@carolinemorley5546 Lol you are delusional. Has nothing to do with how bad or good the show is. If you get violated like that, why would you ever give your blessings ? He got exploited point blank

[@metrowater2819]

Female Logic 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

[@ameliacampbell6679]

He has reached out to Mike but he doesn’t have to kiss his ass. Anyway, he is doing an excellent job on the series.

[@viciroyal4910]

Lies they never reached out l. And they used his name to get access to things it’s very sleazy and he sucks at playing Mike

[@danrichardson5998]

That's a lie he did a great job. Stop hating

[@tanishawilliams2615]

@@viciroyal4910 he definitely said he reached out several times .

[@marcusmccreary5086]

Bro he didn’t suck at playing mike I get your mad that mike Tyson isn’t on board with this but saying he doesn’t do a good Job is a flat out lie

[@Nyicolee]

@@viciroyal4910 he's reached out, multiple times.

[@gemini022]

They killed it much respect to both of them. Ann and Trevante

[@biggmonie]

Excellent acting.

[@streetking4152]

Trevante rhodes played moonlight I knew he was gonna be a good actor

[@ktsayasafira]

agreed

[@supyoo2722]

Me and my family are huge Mike Tyson fans and we support him so we all cancelled our Hulu subscription untill they pay the man for telling his story without his blessing

[@ktsayasafira]

love his talent, confidence, determination and his courage the cowardly dog shirt

[@mostlikelytosucceedpod]

Dr. Moore!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@viciroyal4910]

He said it thieves always recognize one another

[@vanchi7667]

It was a sex scene in every episode lol

[@jamesdolo9475]

I love her

[@viciroyal4910]

What about the actual connection to Mike Tyson they speak of connection and it’s about money

[@ms.remihabiba5158]

Is there any concrete evidence that Mike disapproved or that Tre didn't reach to him? Im going ask him after Eid.

[@viciroyal4910]

He literally only did this for money and how dare they speak on Cus Demato

[@justinphu94]

Shameful

[@MotoMiles]

They couldn’t find anyone who slightly resembles Mike ?😂😂😂😂😂good grief this is New Edition all over .

[@chessecake578]

Trevante is much finer so mike should feel honored

[@MotoMiles]

I respect that aspect but I don’t think Mike was a pretty boy ever .granted the guy is a good actor . I actually think he’s getting exploited because he’ll probably look at this later in life and not be proud of this project.

[@viciroyal4910]

This is disrespectful
