Critics have praised Tyson Fury's new Netflix docu-series, At Home With The Furys, for its portrayal of the boxer's mental health struggles. While many reviews noted the show's lightweight tone overall, several highlighted its candid depiction of his day-to-day battles with bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety.
The Evening Standard awarded the nine-episode series four stars, describing it as having 'unexpectedly profound moments' amid the silliness. The Times also gave four stars, calling it 'multi-layered, flipping between light and dark' and noting that Fury's mental health is a serious undercurrent. However, The Guardian was less impressed, giving two stars and deeming it 'sappingly dull' due to sluggish pacing and rehashed boxing storylines.
Filmed in the Fury family home in Morecambe, the series follows Tyson as he retires from boxing and embraces family life with wife Paris and their six children. The Independent's three-star review noted that while the show often focuses on the banal, it effectively conveys the underlying fear of Fury's mental health relapses. Paris Fury is seen managing his mood swings, referring to him as 'a giant 6 foot 9 child'.
Some critics questioned the authenticity of certain scenes, suggesting they felt scripted. The Telegraph noted that scenarios like a restaurant proposal (despite the couple already being married) seemed manufactured. Nevertheless, the series was generally seen as a likeable portrait of an extraordinary but ordinary family, with Fury's net worth of £51m contrasting with their down-to-earth habits like drinking Echo Falls wine.
