**SERIES REVIEW**



I don't think anybody was looking for an animated show featuring Mike Tyson but those who have taken the time to watch this zany animated series know that it's a welcome one. These episodes are the uncut versions of the show and they do have some foul language that younger viewers may need to be shielded from. Teens and adult will have a blast with this sort of retro style mystery series. 8.5/10


**VIDEO QUALITY**



Mike Tyson Mysteries is presented in an aspect ratio of 1.78:1. - The series has a retro animated look like shows from the 70's and early 80's. Colors were bright and have nice balance. Black levels were rich. The image was sharp and ink links were crisp. I saw some light banding in darker scenes but nothing too troubling.8.5/10


**AUDIO QUALITY**



Audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 - Mike Tyson has a very distinct voice that is difficult to discern at times but thankfully the tracks on here present him as crisp and clear as possible. Surrounds are used to create a decent amount of atmosphere when needed, otherwise these tracks are a bit front heavy. 8/10
