It made my blood boil when I saw those hordes of tigers inside the cage! F*ck this man! He was breeding those huge cats for profit. wtf
Yes, Joe seems to be crazy and dangerous. And I think Carole is a little hypocritical about wanting to protect animals but kind of keeping a zoo and profiting from it.
Not bad I guess. Not really sure how you judge a true crime show especially not episode by episode but it was compelling. They do a lot to convince you this is "the real scoop" and two things stand up.
Subject director - There's a lot of scenes where the subject of the scene opens the scene by talking with the crew about what kind of shot they're going to make and what it will look like. This is I presume common in all reality TV. There's so much fakery in reality TV from people answering the door like they don't know a camera crew is outside to people wondering where people are when the everyone has their own personal camera crew. But typically they clip the part where the subject says something like "So I'll stand here and you can get me and the cat in the same angle". It's clearly supposed to make the whole thing feel authentic.
Both Sides-ism - Even though clearly the Tiger King is the "bad guy" and the Sanctuary lady is the "good guy". They keep enough ambiguity in some scenes. They point out that the Sanctuary lady also has people pay money to see her cats. I legit have questions about her operation. I mean I don't have any about TK's though that's just a bad spot but I am curious about some of the finer points of hers.
Carole Baskin is just the same as Joe exploiting those wild animals for money. Joe is right she's a hypocrite with supporters who she brainwashed so bad.
I can think of better things for the entire planet to be watching than this show. NOVA? PBS? Shall we learn something? .. Schoolhouse rock. awe ... who am i kidding. thats educational ..

I'm deeply ashamed of all these people that profit off having animals in cages. Like, who even needs to own a zoo? Wanna see wild animals? Watch a documentary. Also, true animal sanctuaries are not attraction parks.
I myself am a cat lady. But I'd be grossed out with myself if I were one of those people perpetuating the exploitation of wild animals for money. Shame on the owners and everyone who visits too
