    The Tiger King sequel is a frustrating mess, with none of the gripping storytelling that made the original run such a guilty pleasure.

    With a story that feels like it’s being made up in the moment, Netflix’s second season of “Tiger King” feels like a blatant grab for cash, hoping to snare all the people that watched the series during the pandemic.

    The timing of "Tiger King's" initial release in March of 2020, in hindsight, couldn't have been better. The timing now feels like a bit of a snooze. Assuming that counts as the concept's second life, let's hope nobody's planning on seven more.

    Somehow, they stretch it to five episodes, going over the death of Carole’s second husband, Don Lewis, whom Joe and his crew suspect was murdered by Baskin, and looking at what Jeff Lowe, who took over the park after Joe’s imprisonment, has done with the business. It’s all icky.

    Goode and Chaiklin dig up plenty of dirt on Lewis and his seemingly dodgy dealings in Costa Rica (including, one acquaintance claims, sleeping with underage girls), but it only adds to the feeling that this is a tawdry affair that leaves no one enlightened. ... It’s a mess.

The first episode, albeit largely boring, is probably worth a view for a few scattered reasons, one of which being an examination of Exotic's cop stripping days. But after that, it becomes clear it's merely an empty cash grab with nothing to show for itself. It's sloppy, unfocused, vapid, and patently desperate. Netflix's American productions have been frankly well below the bar for of kind of a while now.… Full Review »
