Netflix documentary?

And she has now finally found a role that offers a suitable challenge for her talents; Carole Baskin. Presented at the beginning of Netflix's documentary series Tiger King as the well-meaning CEO of a tiger sanctuary in Tampa, Florida, there is so much more to the flower-crown wearing Baskin's story than initially meets the eye; from the way she runs Big Cat Rescue like a cult, to the persisting rumors that she murdered her second husband, billionaire Don Lewis, and fed him to one of her tigers.

A lot of people have been dream-casting a fictionalized account of the Tiger King story this week, with Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson way up on the list of actors that people think could tap into the essence of Joe Exotic. But McKinnon's had her eye on the role of Baskin for a while now — since before the documentary dropped on Netflix, in fact.

Prior to the release of Tiger King, the convoluted tale of rival zoo owners and murder for hire was told via the native art form of the new millennium: the true crime podcast. In 2019, McKinnon listened to the Joe Exotic, the second season of Over My Dead Body, an investigative podcast series from Wondery, and immediately signed on to executive-produce and star in a limited drama series based on the real-life events.

At present, the series doesn't have a title or release date, but if there's one thing that'll get us all through this prolonged period of isolation, it's the mental image of Kate McKinnon in a frazzled wig, flower crown and leopard-print leggings, channeling every ounce of eccentric in her extensive repertoire.

Popularity of the Tiger King Documentary prompts Florida Sheriff to reopen cold case searching for leads, link above.

Also if you're on the fence, here's a good quote by someone:
I wasn’t interested but my wife and I gave it a shot this weekend. Started it at 10pm Saturday night, finished by 4am on Sunday. Once we started watching we couldn’t stop, we had to know what happens next, and we kept saying “wtf how does this keep getting weirder and weirder” and “how am I living on the same planet as these people”.

This is funny, I had never heard of this until you posted. Then this AM on the radio, the hosts were talking about it. The younger one started telling about the ratings, the two older were confused and had never heard of it, like me. The more they quoted scenes from the show and told about story line, the odder it became.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop, or I would have had little idea what the heck they were speaking about. :thumbsup:

I doubt I will ever watch it.
