    While Tiger King 2 is definitely not as addictive as its record-breaking predecessor and tends to jump manically from subject to subject at an almost-overwhelming speed, the second season of this Netflix juggernaut is definitely worth watching if you’re a true crime fanatic who is still fascinated by the chaotic world of Joe Exotic and his big cat kingdom.

    Exotic is in prison, so there are no fresh shots of him with his snaggly grin and straggly mane. Episode one gets round this by delving into his early life. ... The last two instalments return to Joe Exotic, and whether his conviction for conspiring to murder Baskin is sound.

    We’re just not sure that this is anything but a money grab by them and Netflix. ... We still recommend it to anyone who watched the first season and wants to find out more. But, it certainly isn’t essential watching to anyone, whether they liked the first season or were repulsed by it.

    In a world where everyone lies, it’s hard to believe anything anyone says. It makes for a confusing, complicated and ultimately exhausting watch.

    While it initially lucked into a charismatic cast that captured the nation’s attention at a truly unique moment in history, at its core, “Tiger King” is a middling true-crime series on a streaming service chock full of the same, that furthermore lacks the attention span to dig deeper into the crucial context of its many, many stories.

    The Joe Exotic of Tiger King 2 is a much-reduced figure in prison overalls. We only see him sporadically on grainy footage talking to camera over a prison phone.

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 »
