Marcella ... Not as gripping as the stranger, but worth a try.0 -

We binged Tiger King last night, our first binge in ages. I had no idea what it was when the OH put it on, but within 10 minutes I was hooked.
My reaction for the most of it...
We can laugh at the rednecks and the culture, but holy shít these are some scarily shrewd operators. Every one of them.
Random thoughts, in spoilers of course...Sure, Joe Exotic was lead on and set-up in the end, but he was a disgusting, highly dangerous man while out in the open. The threats about turning his place into 'Waco' if the cops came in, the talk of dropping grenades as he flies in a helicopter above his rival's park/enclosure...the videos of him making numerous death threats and shooting an effigy of his rival's head off. Then there's the grooming of those young lads, whether they were legal age or not, he was just a predator on the weak, broken and needy, the most narcissistic person I've seen in quite a while, treated his workers abhorrently and paid them peanuts. He definitely did set that fire on his own premises and burn alligators to death tooNo one really comes out of this shining or anywhere near it. That Jeff Lowe should see the inside of a jail and certainly has darkness which wasn't shown in the series. The strip club owner is the sleaziest, most self-serving person you could imagine and should also see jail and admitted as much himself. Then Carole, while wholly undeserving of the obsessive negative attention from Joe Exotic and the plot to murder her, is no squeaky clean character in the industry or life. Then you have Doc and his grooming and slave-driving of young women over at his own cult HQ, along with the probable killing and disposal of "aged out" tigers. Then you have Mario who apparently inspired Scarface when he murdered someone and used to run drugs. Then you have...you get where this is going, this is just a volatile rogues gallery of insanity all over the place from start to finishPoor young Travis and his broken, grieving mother. From the first time he appeared on camera giving an interview, you could see the extreme sadness in his eyes and that he wasn't anywhere near where he wanted to be in life despite being in a 'loving relationship'. To see footage of Joe harp on about himself at his funeral, then try to use the suicide to further his own political goals and whatever else, it turned my stomach.Considering the meth, the drinking, then whatever else the cameras didn't show, I was amazed and relieved to see that there wasn't something resembling a massacre/incident at Joe's Tiger Zoo. That female zookeeper lost her arm and seemed quite chill about it, but the fact that no one was mauled to death was a surprise.
This series started out funny and bizarre, and for me there were some extreme laugh out loud momentsThose songs and music videos for examplebut it all gets quite dark at points just a few episodes in.
Definitely the best Netflix documentary series I've watched in a while, one of their best ever maybe. Although I've given it a shot above, it's just beyond words and hard to describe.0 -
