Tiger King: The Doc Antle Story

Wild stories galore in typical TK fashion in this mini series focusing on the "Doc". I was certainly riveted, not knowing what would come out of these peoples mouths next. But in retrospect, there was no point to this documentary, if half of its true then this guy should be in jail.

It blatantly tries to capitalize on the popularity of the original show but fails to replicate the recipe for its success. It is mostly interviews to people about stuff that happened between the 70s and 90s, it is not that interesting and it is bottom of the barrel journalism. We get it, most likely doc antle is a piece of crap for a plethora of reasons and he did many a-bad things but do we need to listen to him for 10 seconds and then have 20 minutes of emotional manipulation from witness that are talking for fame and a wad of bills? I dont think that is a great deal.

Important to mention the plot is not focused on the animals, it mostly focuses on doc antle's ex entourage, cults and sex.

Now it's all clear why Doc wasn't in Tiger King 2. They had a whole other franchise with Doc Antle, and I'm glad at least Netflix is showing Buddhists as being nutso since they've done so for Christians like all Hollywood... I here about how robotic Christians are but at least we don't follow a guy who resembles a weeble wobble...

As far as documentaries go, or in this case, a reality show, once you have to start doing cheesy reenactments, then, in this case, the tiger has jumped the shark... Reenactments are so lame... If I see too many of them in any kind of documentary I'll turn them off... The original Tiger King had none of them and relied on interviews and was entertaining but these reenactments are just plain lame...

Mostly here are former employee women saying that they were molested by Doc when they were teenagers, and so now Doc is being accused of having sex with minors... But before MeToo, Hollywood gave Roman Polanski an Oscar and signed a petition to make him a free man, so... that's where we're coming from here folks...

But 100 more women can claim Doc did these thing but, like Carol will NEVER GO TO JAIL for her husband's death, Doc won't be touched by ANY OF THIS because there is no actual proof, and sorry folks, but, in this life, powerful people get away with really bad things...

As for Doc, if he's a guru and he created a following and has women sleep with HIM and NO ONE ELSE, let's face it folks, every multi-millionaire actor and rock star does the SAME THING in their very own way.

Don't think of Joe Exotic weird. Head In to it with a new story in mind. The story is captivating and the characters are interesting. But what makes this show is the editing and format. Wonderfully done.

In the 1980s, every single woman in the US knew a Doc Antle. He was the guy wearing an elaborate mystical stone necklace, a lion's mane of a mullet, and clothes inappropriate for any setting other than a Sedona vortex or a drum circle. He clearly didn't worry about employment, because Mommy and Daddy supplied him with extravagant living expenses, and the mullet supplied him with young women.

"Doc" Antle, like everyone involved in big cat rescue, has no qualifications for caring for the world's largest carnivores. He simply uses them the same way he uses young girls, and the only difference in him and a pimp is that a pimp protects his product. He just kills then when he is tired of them.

If the other spotlights in this series have made you say, "Gee, these people are crazy," Doc will make you say, "Gee, this guy is icky."

Enough, Netflix. Enough. Stop elevating these slimy people and giving them notoriety. Help the law go after them to protect the animals from these abusers. The novelty is gone, and now I am just sick to my stomach that they keep getting away with it.
