Mike: Miniseries

"The constant gamesmanship in terms of storytelling often makes 'Mike' more of an exercise in style than something new and insightful."

"The closest thing to a knockout punch is the casting of Rhodes."

"The team behind 'I, Tonya' delivers an unconvincing exercise in self-examination in their boxing biopic that's more recycled than revelatory."

"Brisk and entertaining, 'Mike' is anything but subtle."

"(The fifth) episode, titled 'Desiree', is almost like a stand-alone short film, with Li Eubanks bringing empathy, humanity and a heroic spirit to her work as Ms. Washington."

"Rhodes makes for a strong lead... and the series is never, ever boring. I just wish it were more of a knock-out. "

"Much like the man himself, 'Mike' is a series of fascinating yet well-crafted contradictions."

"(It) pulls a few punches but lands the big swings."

"‘Mike’ is a retelling of the Tyson myth that’s too in love with its subject."

"Look, all of these celebrity biopics are bad. Please stop making them, television."
