Episode 6 recap
The previous episode, titled Jailbird, was directed by Tiffany Johnson and written by Samantha Corbin-Miller. It aired on Thursday, September 8 and saw Tyson in prison, but with his boxing skills, he became not just the baddest man on the inside but also the outside.
Tyson was serving jailtime for a r*pe charge after he was called out for the same. He hustled his way into getting a television, a wired phone, donuts, and essentially running the prison.
As always, Tyson found people who wanted to guide him on a better path. His original bunk mate mentored him and found Islam through Iman, whose prayer room he used to run his business, and even Maya Angelou came to visit him.
More about the series
The official trailer for the mini-series dropped in July and featured the tumultuous path of the legendary heavyweight boxer, portrayed by Trevante Rhodes, who gave a more detailed look to Tyson’s most infamous moments— from biting Evander Holyfield’s ear, his prison sentence, and even his interaction with his white Bengal tiger.
The synopsis for the series reads:
"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."
Stream the series finale of Mike on Hulu on Thursday, September 15 at 3 am ET/ 12 midnight PT.
