Now that most of us are well into our lockdown lifestyles, Netflix and chill has become a full-time job. But some big-screen gems are better than others.
The newly released Netflix docuseries “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness” surely lives up to its title. The crime tale tells the life story of its eccentric protagonist Joe Exotic, who constantly fuels the fire in what fans call “the messiest show in a while.” Thanks to psychedelic ingredients like the mulleted zoo park boss running for president and launching a career in country music, the Netflix original series became high-caliber material for new memes.

No, this is what Mountain Dew looks like if it actually were a person.
Since its release on March 20, “Tiger King” has become the No. 1 most-watched series in the US on the streaming platform. Kim Kardashian West and Sam Smith are known to be among its fans, while Jared Leto has tweeted some pictures dressed up as the king himself. Inspired by a living example of fashion faux pas, the cowboy look may be the next big popular culture trend for the summer season.
The directors Eric Goode and Rebecca Chaiklin have said that Joe couldn’t be happier with his newly found fame. Goode told LA Times that “he is absolutely ecstatic about the series and the idea of being famous. He’s absolutely thrilled.” Chaiklin has added that “it all helped to raise his spirits” since the big cat keeper is currently serving his time in federal prison.
Scary. It’s an improvement on the Orange one I’ll give it that though.
Tiger King started from an accident. The show’s co-director Eric Goode, who is a lifelong reptile obsessive and New York entrepreneur, recounted the turning moment when a van pulled up on the way to Goode’s initial reptile investigation.
“That man said, ‘Check out what I just bought.’ The driver pulled open the van door to show Goode a snow leopard cowering in the back seat.” From that point, the film crew turned in an entirely different direction.
After a 5-year-long journey spent working on the cool story of Tiger King, Eric remains an avid animal rights activist. He’s convinced that people in the big cat business are, after all, delusional. “They basically come up with some story that justifies the keeping of these animals. But ultimately, it’s a really selfish pursuit,” he told Vanity Fair.
he didn't offer them a discount he offered them a refund or a rain check because they were going to have to close that day.
I don’t remember her. Is she one of the “employees” at Carole’s “sanctuary”?

This show was absolutely heart breaking and difficult to watch. The fact that these people claim to love animals, and then exploit and abuse them is deplorable and incredibly sad. I hope, if nothing else, it creates awareness of how awful these so-called "zoos" are. Do not give your money to these places. It's disgusting. It was so terribly hard to watch new born cubs being immediately taken away from the mother. The way all these cats were being treated was so so shocking
I’ve not watched it. How is everyone raving about it when these animals are being so badly treated? Do they get rescued? Is there a happy ending for them?
I'm on episode 5 and it seems to be more about the human shit show than about the tigers, honestly.
Some go to sanctuaries, but for the most part, the animals are as screwy as the people "taking care" of them, due to their lack of upbringing, on both parts.
l keep hearing about it, but l cant decide, should l watch it OR should l avoid it like the coronavirus..??
I agree. It's a tragedy of epic proportions that the animals experience every day. Some day, it won't be like this any more. Humans probably won't be around, which is why...
I think that Big Cat Rescue is doing a great job and is not treating big cats as pets.
These people are animal abusing trash
