Les Kings de Tupelo: Jusqu'au crime

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.

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.

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!

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 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.
