Tiger King (Netflix) - what on Earth?!

[SinkGirl]

Just started watching this tonight - the second episode is perhaps the craziest documentary episode I’ve ever seen.

Is anyone else watching?

yes but only seen episode 1 so far....

Hugely entertaining if slightly terrifying at the same time

Just started it.
I can’t drag my eyes away from the craziness, the big cats in malls!!!

I've just watched the lot over 2 days. Wow.

Lower episode 1 is nothing, just wait!

Want to stay up and binge but need to get some sleep. Damn you, Netflix!

It's brilliant and just when you think it can't get any weirder it goes way past weird😊 So many wtf moments.

It is bizarre and literally my favourite thing I've ever watched on Netflix. Me and DH spent the whole series shrieking with laughter/gasping in horror. And you just don't know where anything is going. Nuts.

I loved the husband's choice of interview attire, i.e. Shirtless and nice grey jogging bottoms Also enjoyed the mullets.

It is jaw-dropping.

Absolutely insane. Every single one of those people involved are complete ego maniacs. None of them really give a shit about the animals.

The lack of teeth and terrible mullets were very entertaining!

I remember this guy from Louis theroux just. started episode one.

I enjoyed the first episode and decided we’d watch another before bed - spent the first five minutes open mouthed hiding behind my hands and I don’t think I’ve ever shouted “WHAT?!” more times in one hour before. Can’t wait to see the rest. I remember seeing Joe on a Louis Theroux episode years ago, Louis missed a trick there.

Every single one of those people involved are complete ego maniacs. None of them really give a shit about the animals

That's what we said too. The woman, Joe Exotic all of them. All in it for themselves.

Oh absolutely. I haven’t seen too far into the woman’s story yet but can already tell she’s awful. The men are vile sexual predators - it’s like they live in an alternate universe.

Everything about the man is crazy. The “freeballing” and padlocks, the music videos, and wait until you get to the episode where he gets involved in politics... I never thought I’d say it but it looks like the Americans had a lucky escape with Trump!

Oh Christ! Not wanting to give spoilers but I'm having flashbacks to so many moments and 'the funeral speech' has just popped into my head. Fuck me. Anyone who has watched it all will know what I'm talking about. For those who haven't, I hope I haven't said too much.

But fuck me. Jesus christ.

ha! I'm watching this too
only way to describe this is batshit crazy!

I’m glad to see it continues being bonkers.

Thank you Netflix, just what we all needed this week!

Holy shit. THE FUNERAL SPEECH.

I’ve never seen anything like this. It’s perfect for right now as it has taken my mind off the nightmarish reality each night. Two more episodes to go tomorrow.

Yes the funeral speech and the lack of mourning time shall we say. That poor lad's mother.

I've been recommending this to everyone, binge watched it in two days!

I don’t even know how to explain it to people. It’s like a documentary about an entirely different species on another planet. I guess we need a spoiler thread to discuss!

I'm going to watch this tomorrow. I haven't googled it so I have no idea what it's about but reading these comments has made me want to watch it!

Definitely don’t google. The less you know, the better. I didn’t even finish watching the trailer - as soon as I recognised the guy I was on board and didn’t want any spoilers!

I'm so glad some of you have reached the funeral speech!

There's so much I want to discuss but I'm aware I raced through it and some/most people won't have watched it all yet.

But also. What about the woman's wedding photos?!? OH MY GOD

Oooh I’ve found my people!
DH and I have just finished watching this. You quite literally could not even make this shit up.
THE FUNERAL SPEECH! Incredible...

It’s been a very welcome distraction. We’ve been shrieking with laughter.

If a person loved animals and couldn’t stand any sort of cruelty, including keeping wild animals as pets, should they avoid this show?

I don’t want to google anything in case it either ruins it or upsets me.

Oh just wait OP it gets bat shit crazier and crazier

I was actually secretly rooting for Joe Exotic until the funeral speech.....there just aren't words for that
