    I had to watch it all in one day.

    If I'm honest I almost gave up on this after the first episode, I'm not a huge documentary fan but took the advice of friends, by episode two I was hooked.

    What starts off as a feud over caged wild animals (Sure we all have our own views on that subject) turns into a crazy tale of attempted murder. Along the way you will learn of hypocrisy, lies, jealousy, multiple husbands, and genuinely some of the most bizarre behaviour imaginable.

    Some intriguing footage, it's almost as if the outcome was expected.

    I won't spin any theories, or give personal opinions, but more than just one person should be in Jail.

    Some of the people have wild animals and guns, I would feel uneasy with them owning water pistols and kippers. Only in America.

    Baffling to say the least, but utterly engaging and totally addictive. 8/10.

    Trainwreck

    I feel better about my life decisions after watching this. It's an amazing documentary about a world I never knew existed. MUST WATCH!

    The weirdness of the characters and events is entertaining at first...

    ...but soon wears off. To be honest after a while I just continued to watch it because I wanted to see how it ends, it wasn't really that entertaining anymore. What also leaves a somewhat sour taste in my mouth is that a large part of the appeal of the series is based on the fact that you don't really know how much of what is being said by the different characters is true or not, and then when you dig a little bit deeper you also start to wonder where and when the filmmakers are maybe not telling the whole story anymore. In my opinion definitely not worth to be called a documentary. Still, as mentioned in the beginning, it's difficult to stop watching once you started, in that regard it is much like a bag of chips: the first couple of hands you grab seem to be delicious, after a while you are not continuing because it tastes good but because it's just the right combination of fat, carbs and salt to please a prehistoric part of your brain, and after you finished emptying the whole bag, you pretty quickly realize that the whole experience just wasn't worth it.

    Big Cats are not for our entertainment.

    I live in an area with many Joes. Men who get off on the power exchange between man and beast. Also while profiting off of it. Thats all I have to say about this documentary. Big cat captivity for entertainment and profit is wrong.

    Total train wreck

    I couldn't stop watching. Absolutely compelling story with outrageous characters and unbelievable events. Proves what they say, the truth is stranger than fiction.

    • Trivia
      According to press reports published after the series aired, the country music "performed" by Joe Exotic and excerpted in various episodes--like other aspects of his life--is not entirely what it seems. Joe Exotic reportedly commissioned up-and-coming country musicians Danny Clinton and Vince Johnson to produce the music for the stillborn G.W. Zoo reality series, with Joe's creative contributions reportedly being limited to background vocals and suggesting song topics. Joe allegedly did not actually write, play instruments, or sing lead on any of the songs.

      Johnson claims to have been taken aback when Joe produced the music videos and posted them on YouTube, depicting himself as the main performer and taking credit for music he did not write or produce.
