Les Kings de Tupelo: Jusqu'au crime

I don't know where to start really, so I'll just plunge. . . .Do Not Miss This One.

It's got down to earth southern stereotypes. . . Non-stereo types, brother against brother, great accents, great plot, and it's horror adjacent, too.

In short, a nifty cutaway of the human zoo. And based on a true story, too. Nothing to hate and a lot to love. This is just the first episode, out of three in all!!!

When you mix a tale of Elvi (plural of Elvis in "Elvis impersonators), with a body parts black market, conspiracy theories, dark webbing, and authentic southern drawls, Netflix can't go wrong. And neither can you. Amen.

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.

Can't help but feel that there was a very vulnerable person at the centre of this story who the documentary team were happy to exploit for our entertainment.

I still enjoyed the show and it was an interesting diversion from real life for a couple of hours.

I hope KC gets the help and support he deserves.

..... 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."

When work dries up a little, Elvis impersonator Kevin takes on the role of a janitor, on a job he discovers a severed head, a discovery that convinces him that body parts are being sold. Kevin gets mixed up in a plan to send ricin to The President.

The last time I watched a documentary as wild and crazy as this, it was Tiger King, this is pretty much on the same lines, all shades of crazy.

I binge watched it all in one go, I had to, it really is that good. Very well paced, packed with intrigue, loaded with humour, I found Kevin quite an amusing, and generally likeable character.

One thing that baffles me, whoever was running the case needed to be spoken to, who on Earth would have thought that Kevin was capable of making ricin, come on.

Honestly, it's absolutely bonkers, and Kevin may seem like a total, conspiracy theory obsessive, you discover there's a grain of truth in what he discovered.

Bonkers, but hugely entertaining.

8/10.
