I think the format is clever and it's an interesting approach. A little bit like The Rock (which is terrific). The ratings will pick up over the season. Give it a shot. It's a great looking production with a number of different Mike's that do a beautiful job. The soundtrack is really sharp - they clearly spared no expense on rights and it's worth it. Harvey Keitel really is amazing in the production and the love and care Cus D'Amato has for Tyson is sensitivity displayed. He's so nuanced as always. The fight recreations, which I typically dislike are great bring back the nostalgia of the era, the actor that plays Mike in the ring is a dead ringer. Everyone under estimates Tyson if you ask me. The show makes it clear that to underestimate Mike was and is a mistake.
