    Worth a few hours of anyone’s time

    Crazy from start to finish

    I don’t think they were one honest and genuine person on the documentary.

    Still don’t know what to believe now but gripping to watch .

    I couldn't belI've these people were real. Loads of men's going about that much daughters keep showing me but to have that many wild animals in captivity with no welfare checks. Maybe those looking at China's wet markets could look a little closer to home for animal abuse.

    Glad I'm not alone with that thought. It's bat sh*t crazy, but a bit sh*t at the same time.

    I keep hearing about this. Am I the only person in the world who hasn't watched it? I felt like the only person in the world who didn't watch Game of Thrones too so it's a familiar feeling.

    I'm watching season 3 of Ozark. Series I've most enjoyed since Mad Men, Breaking Bad and House of Cards which are the three I've enjoyed most to date .

    We have still to watch the last one but it is absolutely mental. The problem is that if my missus and I watch a film or drama series without a single character we either like or can relate to we lose interest. That is why programmes like 'Breaking Bad' have never appealed (yes I know it is acclaimed) to us. That said, we did enjoy both series of 'Narcos Mexico' partly because both series contained a handful of 'sympathetic' characters and partly because it was based on real events.

    Back to Tiger King and it is relentless in that you quickly realise there isn't ONE single character that any sane normal person can relate to or would want to associate themselves with. I wouldn't trust a single one of them and the woman in particular has even less credibility, if that is possible, than 'Joe Exotic' himself!! She even went after his elderly parents ,albeit he himself had 'used them' but she and that mealy mouthed husband of hers feign respectability but are no better than any of the other 'characters'.

    Car crash TV is OK but you can end up with too many multiple pile ups and it ceases to shock after a while.

    God...err.......bless.........America!!!!

    I've not watched Game of thrones either. Only watched Tiger king cos my daughters love Netflix and it kept coming up and they said to watch it. I couldn't understand how a zookeeper in America had found out their tiger had COVID19 but after watching that programme it made more sense.
    There was one poignant moment where the owner of 2 chimps living in cramped conditions saw how they reacted and hugged each other when they went to another zoo and were put together and realised he'd been wrong.
    Absolutely gobsmacking that their are more tigers in the USA than in the wild.
