    I enjoyed it
    So I wasn't sure how they would add anything new to the circus that was Tiger King. Or better yet, flesh out the characters (based on real people) into a full fledged "working show".

    But it kinda works well for a scripted comedy/drama, and better yet, it's pretty entertaining too.

    Kate as Carole is really funny (but she's always funny anyway) and brings a good amount of seriousness and truth to the dramatized version of Carole Baskin. I enjoy that she doesn't play her as an overblown skit or cartoon parody.

    The real shocker to me was John Cameron Mitchell as Joe. I mean wow... I would have never have predicted his casting... but damn does he shine. I grew up with Hedwig, and his other directorial outings too.

    The mannerisms used and especially the vocal work Mitchell does for this part... I mean he actually becomes Joe Exotic.

    I laughed, binged, and saw some surprisingly tender scenes. Would definitely recommend the show.
