Les Kings de Tupelo: Jusqu'au crime

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.

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.

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.

Incredibly well produced with timing, inserting tidbits, and the way they build the story. Kudos to the production and research team. They know how to rachet up the drama and make it like a fiction thriller with a bunch of laughs along the way. Besides that, the story itself is fascinating without all the extra production and takes all kinds of twists and turns with a surprise ending. Absolutely recommend to spend 3 episodes for a fun time and it doesn't drag on for 9 episodes like Inventing Anna that could have been told in 4 🙄 sure, everyone is a bath*t crazy, but it's the deep south. If you like Tiger King you'll love this.

..... 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."
