Mike

Das tragische, wilde aber auch kontroverse Leben des Sportlers Mike Tyson beleuchtet die Miniserie Mike (aka Iron Mike). Neben seinen Erfolgen als Schwergewichtsboxer verbüßte Tyson eine Haftstrafe wegen Vergewaltigung und biss bekanntlich seinem Gegner Evander Holyfield ein Stück seines Ohrs ab.

Mike explores the dynamic and controversial story of Mike Tyson. The eight-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.
