Tiger King (2020–2021)
6/10
So many despicable people in one industry
6 April 2020
I don't think I've ever seen a show with more despicable people than "Tiger King." By episode four I was having a cathartic moment like, "What am I doing watching this?" I didn't like any of the people and I especially didn't like Carole Baskin the Mary Sue. She was no better than the rest of the slime balls in the big cat industry, she only spun her obsession a different way. It's not like she was releasing cats into the wild. All she was doing was taking them from other owners and putting them into her "sanctuary."

As the deplorable people piled up like Joe Exotic's Walmart meat I found that I had to press forward and finish the show. Why? Because I suffered from FOMO: fear of missing out. I was seeing so many internet articles, memes, and text messages about the show I could no longer be the guy who didn't know who or what Tiger King was. Now that I've watched I find myself red neckier for it and almost ashamed that I gave so much of my valuable quarantine time to such a show. I'm not impressed with "Tiger King" at all. The whole ordeal is one of the wackiest things you'll ever witness; it is truly a case of fact being stranger than fiction, but it's also too close to reality T.V. and I HATE reality T.V.
