Tiger King

Netflix

Figured I'd do an early review since so many of us are locked down.

This documentary is blowing up right now. My wife and I have watched three episodes so far and I can tell you that this deserves to blow up.

Get your SO and sit down to watch it during the quarantine.

Three episodes in and we're still looking for a normal person. Every episode has made me say, "What?" more than once. My wife and I have exchanged glances of "Are you seeing/hearing this shit" multiple times each episode. It's amazing.

You just cannot prepare for the twists and turns.

I'm guessing it's not kid safe?

You guess correctly.

I mean, there are definitely things you'll want to bring your kids in to see, like the massive fucking snake about 2 minutes into the first episode, but there's a lot of sex and murder talk.

If you don't expose kids to sex and violence, how are they ever supposed to get desensitized to it?

Agreed.

I'm guessing this is just riddle with animal cruelty of varying degrees? Where no one is punished/prosecuted for it to boot?

Depends on how you view things.

Yep. The animals just happen to be the thing that links everyone in the documentary.

One episode in. SO far that "animal rescue" woman feels like the villain.

You'll love episode 3

Digged the boyfriend (husband?) who showed up for his on-camera interview, shirtless.

Husband. And I'll stop there to avoid possible spoilers

We ate chicken sammitches while watching ep 3.

Goddam.

What crazier shit crazier than what's already happened, can happen next.

Totally called she was the villain. I wonder what the documentary crew told the major players they were doing, and I wonder if they ever figured out they weren't coming out very well. I had my kid hit the "Big Cat Rescue" social media. Her Twitter was last updated 5 days ago, saying they did the documentary in good faith, and yaddah yaddah yaddah. I'm sure someone more twitter-savvy can post it here.

I'm sad that I only have 1 episode left

Memes are all over the place. I read elsewhere, "Tiger King is what is keeping this country united, in this time of pandemic crisis."

When they re-showed the John Oliver segment, I realized I had actually watched that episode, but totally forgotten about this guy.

Kelci Saffery is apparently trans, and uses he pronouns. I was reading about the attack, and it kept saying "he" and I was like "That's a woman, right?"
