So what’s the catch? And why should you watch this big cat documentary made by Netflix even if you are not interested in quirks of crazy rich Americans? Here are the three reasons to consider.

Witness a Jaw-Dropping True Story

Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness is a 7-episode true crime docuseries which tells the story of country music singer Joseph Maldonado-Passage, also known as Joe Exotic. Sounds pretty ordinary, ha? Just wait a second.

How about living with two husbands and two hundred of big cats?
Or hiring a hitman to kill the animal rights activist?
Or transporting hundreds of kilos of cocaine in the snakes’ stomachs?

There are many other shocking facts to be revealed in the series but who likes spoilers? In a nutshell, the scandalous TV show is about the hidden to many people society of big cat conservationists such as Carole Baskin, CEO of Big Cat Rescue, and private collectors such as Joe Exotic, whom Baskin accused of animal abusing. You can also see celebrities in the documentary. For instance, famous basketball player Shaquille O’Neal appeared in the show saying he ordered two tigers from Joe Exotic.

There are some other less popular but still intriguing characters in the series: Bhagavan Antle, an animal breeder and a cult leader; Mario Tabraue, a former drug lord involved in animal trafficking; Brittany Peet, a PETA investigator searching for evidence of Joe Exotic’s treatment of animals.

Join Kim Kardashian West and Jared Leto

If you want to understand who is Joe and what viral posts and memes about the tigers on TikTok, Twitter, and Facebook mean, you should definitely watch this. And while Kim Kardashian West and Nathalie Emmanuel just tweeted that they were shocked after watching, Jared Leto tried cosplaying Exotic.

Interestingly, Leto wasn’t the only actor who entered the competition for roles in a fictional version of “Tiger King.” Have you checked Sylvester Stallone and his daughters impersonating the characters from the Netflix cat documentary out?

Well, some celebs went even further. Just imagine that popular rapper Cardi B started the whole campaign dedicated to support Joe.
