A Máfia dos Tigres

Interesting series on many levels, but everyone featured is a pathological liar and experienced various mental illnesses. The truth means nothing to these people, so it will never be found. Protecting the animals is the only thing we should care about here. The actual "animals" are the featured people: Baskin, Antle and Schreibvogel. Sick, awful human beings.

...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.

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.

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

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.
