Tiger King: The Doc Antle Story

Tiger King was presented as a fun trashy mess with a whole cast of equally crazy characters.

Turns out, one of those characters abused, raped, groomed and pimped out teenage girls for literal decades.

Some of this footage was from the same interviews as the original series. There is no way the filmmakers were not aware of how dark and serious the situation here was. And they decided first to show us wacky Joe and his bizarre rivalry with a woman in Florida. I guess now that they needed a third series we can get around to exposing the actual crimes that took place?

Tiger King was supposed to be an exposure of a dirty industry, so it leaves a bad taste in my mouth that not only did they choose to ignore the blatant abuse in favor of a "better" story but also that now Netflix wants to milk all the money out of this franchise it's now a story worth telling.

Don't think of Joe Exotic weird. Head In to it with a new story in mind. The story is captivating and the characters are interesting. But what makes this show is the editing and format. Wonderfully done.

Wild stories galore in typical TK fashion in this mini series focusing on the "Doc". I was certainly riveted, not knowing what would come out of these peoples mouths next. But in retrospect, there was no point to this documentary, if half of its true then this guy should be in jail.

Now it's all clear why Doc wasn't in Tiger King 2. They had a whole other franchise with Doc Antle, and I'm glad at least Netflix is showing Buddhists as being nutso since they've done so for Christians like all Hollywood... I here about how robotic Christians are but at least we don't follow a guy who resembles a weeble wobble...

As far as documentaries go, or in this case, a reality show, once you have to start doing cheesy reenactments, then, in this case, the tiger has jumped the shark... Reenactments are so lame... If I see too many of them in any kind of documentary I'll turn them off... The original Tiger King had none of them and relied on interviews and was entertaining but these reenactments are just plain lame...

Mostly here are former employee women saying that they were molested by Doc when they were teenagers, and so now Doc is being accused of having sex with minors... But before MeToo, Hollywood gave Roman Polanski an Oscar and signed a petition to make him a free man, so... that's where we're coming from here folks...

But 100 more women can claim Doc did these thing but, like Carol will NEVER GO TO JAIL for her husband's death, Doc won't be touched by ANY OF THIS because there is no actual proof, and sorry folks, but, in this life, powerful people get away with really bad things...

As for Doc, if he's a guru and he created a following and has women sleep with HIM and NO ONE ELSE, let's face it folks, every multi-millionaire actor and rock star does the SAME THING in their very own way.

It blatantly tries to capitalize on the popularity of the original show but fails to replicate the recipe for its success. It is mostly interviews to people about stuff that happened between the 70s and 90s, it is not that interesting and it is bottom of the barrel journalism. We get it, most likely doc antle is a piece of crap for a plethora of reasons and he did many a-bad things but do we need to listen to him for 10 seconds and then have 20 minutes of emotional manipulation from witness that are talking for fame and a wad of bills? I dont think that is a great deal.

Important to mention the plot is not focused on the animals, it mostly focuses on doc antle's ex entourage, cults and sex.
