Tiger King on Netflix

[Hector]

He's the one responsible for the show's huge Middle Earth crossover appeal.

" My Precious..."

He went full Hollywood now...

You're welcome.

My wife made me watch the 1st episode last week. We were so engrossed after 1 episode, we watched the whole series a day or two later. I cant wait for that extra episode Netfix is supposed to post later this month. These people are so wacky looking, they would make great Mego figures.

This is not reality TV, it’s a multiple part documentary. The Tiger King himself was taping a low budget reality show, but the documentary just showed parts and snippets of it, then all the tapes from his reality stuff, mysteriously burned in a fire, possible arson.

This is nothing like Duck Dynasty, Honey Boo Boo, Kardashians, etc...I don’t watch that crap either.

This was about the horrors of Tiger cub mills and other exotic animals. Showing viewers what a shady business that is. Having poor tigers keep breeding countless cubs, so they can charge $300 a person for one photo op, then once the cub reaches maturity and becomes an adult...they euthanize them, as they become too expensive to feed (I mean, a large bulk of their diet comes from expired discarded cold cuts and meats from Walmart)...and too dangerous to keep as pets. Then grab the next wave of females...have cubs again...and keep repeating this vicious cycle over and over again.

This was a good documentary, it’s not the filmmakers fault that they are all crazy and mimic a reality show...but it was an important documentary. The freak show was just the added attraction. All these tiger mills should be shut down. That was the purpose of this documentary.

Well spoken Hector!

I despise reality TV and don't watch it. This is as stated a documentary first. Joe tried to have a reality series made but all of the footage was lost in the fire.

Is the show for everyone? No it's not, but man it's so crazy and spans so many people and states and you throw in the missing husband and the cult guy it's just wild. Add in Joe Exotic and his presidential and governor ambitions, wow... Oh yeah it has tigers in it too... and I agree all of those animals shouldn't be treated that way, no matter if it's called a rescue or zoo or whatever they called them in the show.

Agreed. I don't watch any reality show dreck either, it's all garbage IMO (ok, Comic Book Men was an exception to me) but Tiger King was a documentary, and definitely an eye opener to me about what kind of things are perfectly legal in the US.

These shows are bringing us dangerously close to Idiocracy.

For me, the Idiocy Movement started 20 years ago with Julie Chen & Big Brother. The Mother of all "Reality" Garbage.

Just to make myself clear...I’m all against these exotic wild animal mills...it’s horrid, greedy, and inhumane.

But I’m making fun of the human freaks...well deserved...

I will not watch stuff like this. Aside from my deep seated hatred of "reality TV" as a whole I think these shows are actually damaging to our culture and society. In my opinion, we should not be normalizing the spiteful willful ignorance, crass and self destructive behaviors of shows like The Duggars, Duck Dynasty, Honey Boo Boo, The Kardashians, etc. These shows are bringing us dangerously close to Idiocracy.

some parts of the US seem like an alien world to me.

yeah, to the rest of the USA too. everyone of the people on that show were freaks

[toyhunter1970]

[cjefferys]

I blew through this show a couple weeks ago. Holy crap, what a weird bunch of characters, some parts of the US seem like an alien world to me.
