Die Kings von Tupelo: Eine Krimisaga im Süden der USA

Can't help but feel that there was a very vulnerable person at the centre of this story who the documentary team were happy to exploit for our entertainment.

I still enjoyed the show and it was an interesting diversion from real life for a couple of hours.

I hope KC gets the help and support he deserves.

Then by god this is the documentary series for you.

The characters are charming and the production is great, typical for any Netflix series like this.

There's no need for me to spoil any of the plot here. There are many people across the country and particularly in the deep south that are prone to conspiratorial &/or mystical/religious thinking - as in believing in things that are not in any way provable. It's a condition of humanity and we're all susceptible. It's simply the degree to which certain people can be TREMENDOUSLY, spectacularly susceptible. In this case, an individual who is so prone to believing in fantasy that they had to make a whole Netflix series about it.

Enjoy!

I don't know where to start really, so I'll just plunge. . . .Do Not Miss This One.

It's got down to earth southern stereotypes. . . Non-stereo types, brother against brother, great accents, great plot, and it's horror adjacent, too.

In short, a nifty cutaway of the human zoo. And based on a true story, too. Nothing to hate and a lot to love. This is just the first episode, out of three in all!!!

When you mix a tale of Elvi (plural of Elvis in "Elvis impersonators), with a body parts black market, conspiracy theories, dark webbing, and authentic southern drawls, Netflix can't go wrong. And neither can you. Amen.

I really enjoyed this. There are so many interesting characters and so many twists and turns. As Johnny Carson might say, "Wild, wacky stuff". There weren't a lot of characters I would say I liked, but there were a lot I became fond of. If you are a fan of True Crime and eccentric characters, then I would recommend this. What's not to like about an Elvis impersonating janitor and his rival - a failed politician/black belt/Mensa member? This story has intrigue, local and national politics, a love quadrangle, and more! I know from seeing some of the other reviews that it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but then again, there are people who don't appreciate Faulkner or the Coen Bros. Take my recommendation in that light.

I had to stay up late to finish the series, but it was well worth the lost sleep. What a gem! I had no expectations when I started watching. The documentary held my attention and transformed what felt like a drab day into something vibrant. Bravo to the directors, writers, editors, film crew, sound crew, and especially to the genuine people who lived the story being told.

There's a lot to unpack in this show. I initially thought I could predict its trajectory, only to look back at the end and realize how completely off I was. As someone who mostly enjoys documentaries and films that lean toward darker, more dramatic themes, I tend to overlook shows with trailers that suggest a lighter narrative. I'm so glad I broke that cycle. I would rate it a 9/10.
