What Are the Critics Saying About Shaq?

Shaq does not yet have an official critics rating but has an average audience score of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes. The series also has a user score of 7.8/10 on IMDB.

Dan Fienberg from The Hollywood Reporter writes, “Shaq the personality is bombastic and fun, so Shaq the docuseries is bombastic and fun, and it displays its myriad influences proudly.”

The Spool’s Leo Brady says, “It’s undoubtedly too much of a stroking of O’Neal’s ego, better as a sports documentary than strictly a Shaq doc, but it’s ultimately a worthy representation of the man himself.”
