Os Reis de Tupelo: Crime e Conspiração nos EUA

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
