The Kings of Tupelo: A Southern Crime Saga

I really enjoyed this. There are so many interesting characters and so many twists and turns. As Johnny Carson might say, "Wild, wacky stuff". There weren't a lot of characters I would say I liked, but there were a lot I became fond of. If you are a fan of True Crime and eccentric characters, then I would recommend this. What's not to like about an Elvis impersonating janitor and his rival - a failed politician/black belt/Mensa member? This story has intrigue, local and national politics, a love quadrangle, and more! I know from seeing some of the other reviews that it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but then again, there are people who don't appreciate Faulkner or the Coen Bros. Take my recommendation in that light.

..... and I loved it! Caricatures who believe they are larger than live getting mixed up in conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory. No one got harmed luckily at the end (physical at least) so I can really say I had a good laugh over this. Paul Curtis seems likeable and probably is that kind of person who would check all reviews here so Paul: If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck...... Too many people found themselves too important (eg. Mr Holland & Mr Curtis & Mr Dutschke). This documentary was keeping me wondering what drama will come next that had me giggling...... "They ain't got the sense God gave a piss ant."

Then by god this is the documentary series for you.

The characters are charming and the production is great, typical for any Netflix series like this.

There's no need for me to spoil any of the plot here. There are many people across the country and particularly in the deep south that are prone to conspiratorial &/or mystical/religious thinking - as in believing in things that are not in any way provable. It's a condition of humanity and we're all susceptible. It's simply the degree to which certain people can be TREMENDOUSLY, spectacularly susceptible. In this case, an individual who is so prone to believing in fantasy that they had to make a whole Netflix series about it.

Enjoy!

This was entertaining, definitely. Who cares what these whiners on here have to say about it. As if every documentary has to fit into their category of "interest" oh please. Get out of here. You're probably from Tupelo.

I'm glad you sticked your life out, Kevin. You should consider becoming a comedian. The one liners were way too great in this. I was indulging the entire watch. A perfect docu series for the times. I'm glad it's come out now, when it can be fully appreciated. Much deserved Netflix contract.

I'm trying to get my 600 count so don't mind me now. I'm almost there... yup okay nice.

For sure a must watch.

Incredibly well produced with timing, inserting tidbits, and the way they build the story. Kudos to the production and research team. They know how to rachet up the drama and make it like a fiction thriller with a bunch of laughs along the way. Besides that, the story itself is fascinating without all the extra production and takes all kinds of twists and turns with a surprise ending. Absolutely recommend to spend 3 episodes for a fun time and it doesn't drag on for 9 episodes like Inventing Anna that could have been told in 4 🙄 sure, everyone is a bath*t crazy, but it's the deep south. If you like Tiger King you'll love this.
