Season 1 Review:
“Chimp Crazy” paints a more complex, nuanced portrait of chimp owners than “Tiger King” did of folks who collect Big Cats. “Chimp Crazy” also proves more entertaining with surprising twists and outlandish characters who are hard to dislike even as they make terrible, self-destructive life choices.

Season 1 Review:
The series is disturbing, both in terms of animal welfare and human behavior — Goode’s as well as Haddix’s. I found it difficult to watch at times, yet it pulls you through to the end, as the plot progresses from strange to stranger. It is, of course, designed to do just that.

Season 1 Review:
“Crazy” is both compassionate and manipulative, and the filmmakers themselves deceive some of their subjects and become major players in Haddix and Tonka’s story. .... There’s an endless “OMG” feeling to everything here, the kind of show that puts the outrage in outrageousness.
