Les Kings de Tupelo: Jusqu'au crime

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 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.

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.

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.

..... 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."
