Like everyone, I watched the Netflix doc series and loved every toothless, mullet-having minute of it. This dramatic reimagining fully satisfies. It was difficult, at first, to take Kate McKinnon seriously. We know and love her from SNL so it was a bit difficult to separate her from those memorable characters. However, by about the 3rd episode, I was able to separate Kate McKinnon from the performance and truly appreciate her embodiment of Carole Baskin. The voice, the walk, the mannerisms, and the quirky weirdness and subtle creepiness of Carole Baskin were perfectly executed. She really threw herself into the performance.

John Cameron Mitchel was also quite good, as well as the supporting cast. If you enjoyed Tiger King for the spectacle of it, I think you will enjoy this slightly darker reenactment. IMO.
