Tyson Fury

Critics have praised Tyson Fury 's new docu-series for shining a light on His Mental Health issues.

While most reviews agreed Netflix's At Home With The Furys was lightweight overall, many highlighted its depiction of The Boxer 's day-to-day struggles.

In a four-star review, The Evening Standard said: " There are too many silly moments to count, But there are also unexpectedly profound ones. "

The Times said it was " multi-layered, flipping between light and dark".

The nine-episode reality series, released earlier This Week , follows The heavyweight world champion as he retires from boxing and embraces Family Life .

Filmed primarily in Fury's flashy family home in Morecambe, it's an often-revealing look at The sportsman, His wife Paris and their five children.

Fury was diagnosed as bipolar in 2017, and has struggled with depression, anxiety, alcohol addiction and cocaine Abuse .

The series three stars, writing: " Netflix don't seem to have realised that The Lead star being bored isn't The Best Starting Point for a series about Family Life .

" And yet, as At Home With The Furys unfolds, I found myself unexpectedly empathising with Fury. But The Show has a long way to go before reaching The dramatic heights of its reality TV predecessors. "

She continued: " His existence is one of wild juxtapositions. Fury likes taking The Kids camping near His house. When he travels on a budget airline, he's mobbed by fans within seconds of stepping off a plane. But Netflix's focus is on The banal; between Selling Sunset-style shots of Morecambe, The Boxer picks Up Dog poo, works out with dad John, and unwraps socks on His birthday.

" Bubbling below every scene are Fury's Mental Health struggles. . His issues were at their peak when he had suicidal thoughts during His first retirement in 2015, and The Show documents The underlying fear that this could happen again. "

Fury's brother Tommy and His influencer partner Molly-Mae Hague, who he met on Love Island , also Make appearances in The Show .

There was less enthusiasm for The series who described The series as " sappingly dull" in a two-star review.

" Like a middling journeyman boxer, The series suffers on account of its sluggish reaction time, " he suggested. " Two of The later episodes Focus On Tyson's attempt to lure Anthony Joshua into an all-British Title Fight , in a rehash of what was a major boxing story when it happened.

" The long time lag and The known Outcome - a deal will never be struck - Make those scenes stale, But they come after The halfway point in The season, by which point At Home With The Furys is starting to run out of material. "

The docu-series, writing: " One of The reasons it works is because it is multi-layered, flipping between light and dark, with No One taking themselves too seriously".

" But at The same time there is a serious point: Tyson's Mental Health , " she added.

In her four-star review Midgley suggested The Show occasionally " feels scripted" noting The Furys know that " The cameras are on them and perhaps Act Up for them".

" Apparently there were points when he wanted to cancel The Documentary . But ultimately they are an extraordinary family who have managed to remain ordinary. Fury has a Net Worth of £51 million and they're still drinking Echo Falls. I like them for that. "

Generally, The Furys " come across as a likeable couple"

" There are flashes of something deeper when Paris Talks about her husband's Mental Health , " she wrote in her three-star review.

" The series doesn't shy away from His mood swings and sometimes erratic behaviour - Paris refers to him as 'a giant 6 foot 9 child' - But The Show prefers to keep things light.

" Occasionally, scenarios feel manufactured. Fury proposes to His wife in a restaurant in The South of France But they're already married, and you suspect this is simply a ruse to give The programme-makers something to film. "

Elsewhere, At Home With The Furys was described as " nine episodes of absolute gold"

" That is mostly because every member of said family is absolutely bonkers, " She Said in her four-star review.

" The six kids (three of whom are named Prince) swear like absolute troupers, long-suffering wife Paris is left to keep everything on The Road and there's more gilt on The Family casa than The Sistine Chapel . "

She Said some of The footage is " both howl-inducingly funny and wincingly awkward".

" The Show intersperses The Action with straight-to-camera pieces where The Family open up about The effect Tyson's Mental Health has had on them, and on him.

" This isn't The Kardashians, But it's arguably more compelling: Fame with The varnish stripped off, rough and unfiltered. It's The perfect type of trash: Give it to me straight. I love it. "

Fury, 35, is also known as The Gypsy King and was born in Manchester to an Irish Traveller family.

Last Year , to introduce stronger punishments for knife crime after His cousin was killed in a stabbing.

Ahead of The 2022 World Cup , a cover of Neil Diamond 's classic Sweet Caroline , to raise money for men's Mental Health charity Talk Club.

Writing about His Netflix series, " In Ancient Rome , Tyson might have been a gladiator; in 6th-century Britain, someone like Beowulf.

" In 2023, whether he's helping His kids on The monkey bars or training to Knock Out a nemesis, Tyson is as complex as he is Charismatic - just The Way we've always liked our heroes. "
