Critics have praised Tyson Fury's new Netflix docu-series, At Home With The Furys, for its honest portrayal of the boxer's mental health struggles. The nine-episode series, released this week, follows Fury as he retires from boxing and navigates family life with his wife Paris and their six children.
In a four-star review, the Evening Standard highlighted the show's balance of lighthearted and profound moments. The Times described it as 'multi-layered, flipping between light and dark', while the Independent noted that Fury's mental health issues 'bubble below every scene'. Fury was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2017 and has spoken openly about his battles with depression, anxiety, and addiction.
However, not all reviews were glowing. The Guardian awarded the series two stars, calling it 'sappingly dull' and criticising its sluggish pacing. The Telegraph's three-star review acknowledged the show's depth when discussing mental health but noted that some scenarios felt manufactured, such as a staged proposal to Paris, whom Fury is already married to.
Despite mixed opinions, many critics agreed that the series offers a valuable glimpse into Fury's day-to-day life and his ongoing mental health journey. The Evening Standard's Vicky Jessop called it 'nine episodes of absolute gold', praising the family's authenticity and humour.
