Les Kings de Tupelo: Jusqu'au crime

I'm not an Elvis fan. In high school one of the kids in my class was an Elvis impersonator and he went on the junior year trip to Germany with a bunch of us and entertained us in the bus. I'd had enough of Elvis then and TBH that almost stopped me from watching this. I am so glad it didn't.

Gosh this is fun. And freaky. The characters we meet are really like carnies. I almost wonder if they were coached by the producers... (but let's not go there and besides who cares).

The 3 episodes fly by. Thank God it isn't 8 episodes (sometimes these series drag). And I really did not have a clue "who dun it" and was surprised when the be reveal happens.

Paul Curtis is wonderful. And I'm glad to have met him and his family and the extended "family" of all those who got caught up in this circus. I wish him happiness and the freedom to pursue any conspiracies he wants. Lord knows the next four years will be full of possibilities. We will need his tenacity and perseverance.

Thank you. Thank you thank you.

..... and I loved it! Caricatures who believe they are larger than live getting mixed up in conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory. No one got harmed luckily at the end (physical at least) so I can really say I had a good laugh over this. Paul Curtis seems likeable and probably is that kind of person who would check all reviews here so Paul: If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck...... Too many people found themselves too important (eg. Mr Holland & Mr Curtis & Mr Dutschke). This documentary was keeping me wondering what drama will come next that had me giggling...... "They ain't got the sense God gave a piss ant."

This was entertaining, definitely. Who cares what these whiners on here have to say about it. As if every documentary has to fit into their category of "interest" oh please. Get out of here. You're probably from Tupelo.

I'm glad you sticked your life out, Kevin. You should consider becoming a comedian. The one liners were way too great in this. I was indulging the entire watch. A perfect docu series for the times. I'm glad it's come out now, when it can be fully appreciated. Much deserved Netflix contract.

I'm trying to get my 600 count so don't mind me now. I'm almost there... yup okay nice.

For sure a must watch.

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.

When work dries up a little, Elvis impersonator Kevin takes on the role of a janitor, on a job he discovers a severed head, a discovery that convinces him that body parts are being sold. Kevin gets mixed up in a plan to send ricin to The President.

The last time I watched a documentary as wild and crazy as this, it was Tiger King, this is pretty much on the same lines, all shades of crazy.

I binge watched it all in one go, I had to, it really is that good. Very well paced, packed with intrigue, loaded with humour, I found Kevin quite an amusing, and generally likeable character.

One thing that baffles me, whoever was running the case needed to be spoken to, who on Earth would have thought that Kevin was capable of making ricin, come on.

Honestly, it's absolutely bonkers, and Kevin may seem like a total, conspiracy theory obsessive, you discover there's a grain of truth in what he discovered.

Bonkers, but hugely entertaining.

8/10.
