Filmed over the course of several years by clearly passionate and committed filmmakers, this superb series takes many gripping twists and turns. I watched for seven hours straight, only breaking to Google every now and then.

Although it's about the exotic animal business in the USA, it actually has multiple layers of interwoven themes.

Populated by flawed humans interacting with magnificent animals, nobody is presented as a pure goodie or a baddie - every real-life character has elements of both, presented in such an insightful way that you'll find your opinions and loyalties shifting as you get carried along on this interesting journey.

Perfectly paced, great soundtrack, interesting bonus to have the main protagonist's "own" music featured. I finished this feeling educated and entertained, sad and conflicted, curious and fascinated.

It's a highly recommended experience.

Bunch of low lifes keeping big cats. Unbelievable but very entertaining.

...but soon wears off. To be honest after a while I just continued to watch it because I wanted to see how it ends, it wasn't really that entertaining anymore. What also leaves a somewhat sour taste in my mouth is that a large part of the appeal of the series is based on the fact that you don't really know how much of what is being said by the different characters is true or not, and then when you dig a little bit deeper you also start to wonder where and when the filmmakers are maybe not telling the whole story anymore. In my opinion definitely not worth to be called a documentary. Still, as mentioned in the beginning, it's difficult to stop watching once you started, in that regard it is much like a bag of chips: the first couple of hands you grab seem to be delicious, after a while you are not continuing because it tastes good but because it's just the right combination of fat, carbs and salt to please a prehistoric part of your brain, and after you finished emptying the whole bag, you pretty quickly realize that the whole experience just wasn't worth it.

I feel better about my life decisions after watching this. It's an amazing documentary about a world I never knew existed. MUST WATCH!

During the pandemic what else if there to do than binge watch documentaries. This one does not disappoint! You will ask yourself over and over again if these people are real.

Back in 2008 I worked for Joe Exotic for about 9 months, 4 of which were on the road and maybe 5 at the animal park. I've seen the doc and in my experience working with him and being at the park I really don't have anything bad to say about the guy based on what I lived personally being around the whole thing

there's obviously some sensationalism involved in the doc, some things are accurate and some things aren't but that's the nature of these kind of things.

I couldn't stop watching. Just when you thought it was strange it raised the bar even higher. If you like this series you definitely need to check out "The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia".

I don't think I've ever seen a show with more despicable people than "Tiger King." By episode four I was having a cathartic moment like, "What am I doing watching this?" I didn't like any of the people and I especially didn't like Carole Baskin the Mary Sue. She was no better than the rest of the slime balls in the big cat industry, she only spun her obsession a different way. It's not like she was releasing cats into the wild. All she was doing was taking them from other owners and putting them into her "sanctuary."

As the deplorable people piled up like Joe Exotic's Walmart meat I found that I had to press forward and finish the show. Why? Because I suffered from FOMO: fear of missing out. I was seeing so many internet articles, memes, and text messages about the show I could no longer be the guy who didn't know who or what Tiger King was. Now that I've watched I find myself red neckier for it and almost ashamed that I gave so much of my valuable quarantine time to such a show. I'm not impressed with "Tiger King" at all. The whole ordeal is one of the wackiest things you'll ever witness; it is truly a case of fact being stranger than fiction, but it's also too close to reality T.V. and I HATE reality T.V.

Ric Flair meets Jim Baker meets Bhagwan Shri Rajneesh meets Siegfried & Roy meets The Trailer Park Boys. Enjoy!

I live in an area with many Joes. Men who get off on the power exchange between man and beast. Also while profiting off of it. Thats all I have to say about this documentary. Big cat captivity for entertainment and profit is wrong.

Joe Exotic runs the GW Zoo in Oklahoma. The zoo's claim to fame is its massive collection of big cats, including tigers and lions. An eccentric, larger-than-life, unscrupulous character, Joe Exotic's management of the animals leads him into confrontation with animal welfare advocates and another zoo owner, Carole Baskin. The feud between them leads him down a very dangerous path.

A reasonably interesting documentary. The old "fact is stranger than fiction" saying certainly applies to this: you couldn't script something this bizarre. A tale littered with oddball, repulsive characters and off-the-wall goings on.

The characters, while providing colour to the proceedings, are also a drawback: there is absolutely nobody to support. On the one hand you have the insane rednecks, on the other the greedy, superficial, possibly-husband-murdering, power-hungry busybody. Even the minor characters are all quite loathsome and seem to have an agenda. The seediness of it all becomes a bit irritating after a while.

Overall: overhyped but watchable. Just don't expect any pitiable characters or even to come away feeling educated: nobody in the series deserves 15 seconds of fame, let alone a 5-hour documentary series made of them.

It's a shame that the second series of the Tiger King is lumped in with the first series for the sake of reviewing it here. Whilst the first was astonishing, compelling, crazy and riveting, the second series is a shameless attempt to cash in on the success of the first, it seems, and concentrates on long winded sleuthing that is tedious at best and boring at worst. The main problem being that it suffers from a singular problem that might have been a red flag to less excited producers when deciding on a second series and that is the lack of Joe Exotic. The Tiger King 2 doesn't feature much of the king himself, seeing as he's banged up in prison and therefore is very disappointing as a sequel. Many wondered how they'd match the first series, given his predicament, and we now have the answer: they couldn't. Not recommended.

Interesting series on many levels, but everyone featured is a pathological liar and experienced various mental illnesses. The truth means nothing to these people, so it will never be found. Protecting the animals is the only thing we should care about here. The actual "animals" are the featured people: Baskin, Antle and Schreibvogel. Sick, awful human beings.

This documentary has it all: cult dynamics, twisted gay Okie love, animal rights and abuse issues, forensic intrigue, something for everyone.... and Big Cats!!

Rated this very highly, initially, but if they'd like us to consider both seasons as one body of work, I'm revising that rating.

I suspect the "Season 2" appendage was a last minute sneaky attempt to latch onto and capitalise on the success of the first brilliant season only once they realised how abysmally unentertaining a watch it would be. I don't believe they ever planned for a sequel so this is just a great example of how to completely ruin the legacy of something with shameless greed.

Once Rick Grimes left The Walking Dead, the show was immediately over - same here. Why even consider continuing something without the primary nucleus of its draw? Odd.

I couldn't stop watching. Absolutely compelling story with outrageous characters and unbelievable events. Proves what they say, the truth is stranger than fiction.

Narratively, the documenting is all over the place. Who is telling the story? Apart from the big cats, nothing intrigued me.

If I'm honest I almost gave up on this after the first episode, I'm not a huge documentary fan but took the advice of friends, by episode two I was hooked.

What starts off as a feud over caged wild animals (Sure we all have our own views on that subject) turns into a crazy tale of attempted murder. Along the way you will learn of hypocrisy, lies, jealousy, multiple husbands, and genuinely some of the most bizarre behaviour imaginable.

Some intriguing footage, it's almost as if the outcome was expected.

I won't spin any theories, or give personal opinions, but more than just one person should be in Jail.

Some of the people have wild animals and guns, I would feel uneasy with them owning water pistols and kippers. Only in America.

Baffling to say the least, but utterly engaging and totally addictive. 8/10.

I didn't want to watch it for a long time, but when i started watching it, my blood froze, it was really interesting.

Sure it's interesting, but not for more than an hour or so episode. Eventually it comes down to trashy people. We shouldn't give these people more attention... especially when wildlife is involved.

Well made. Everyone stinks in this except the animals, film maker and woman who lost her arm.

This documentary really tells you the story of a fued between big cat breeders doing it all for the money and fame and big cat rescuers.

Definitely worth watching and I really hope this docuserie make Americans realise that cub petting ain't cool as apparently, there are between 5k - 10k big cats living in the USA as pets.
