Stop whatever you're doing

This show sucked. Way too drawn out and disjointed and yet doesn't even do justice to how crazy all of that shit is (including Joe himself). I really don't know why they made an entire episode about the woman and her husband that went missing, it went fucking nowhere and served no fucking point other than to tarnish her even though she's the most decent of the main people (not that I think she's a saint or all that great, but I think she's someone that came to realize how awful it is for animals is after having partaken in it and so has been working to change that). They really tried to make her look bad for some reason. I have no clue why they tried to balance out so many of the others too, they were pretty much all scumbags. Hell I don't know why half of them were even in this movie. Like the wannabe cult leader with the pony tail. He probably deserves his own documentary after authorities investigate him thoroughly. The rest should just be in jail. Well the gonzo journalist guy should learn to backup his fucking shit (I think he likely intended to do a documentary on this crazy asshole himself but I think he decided to nope the fuck out after the arson, which he nearly died in a suspicious fire several months later).

Oh, and I don't know why they never pointed out that he didn't make the music. I knew this before watching it and expected it to be revealed but it never was. Dude was a total and complete sham.

I'll tell you one thing though, this show has made it very clear to me that no one should be allowed to have a personal zoo.

It is nuts, but the most nuts thing about the show is it does a total shit job of actually capturing how fucking nuts Joe Exotic (and the types of people that get into owning exotic animals like big cats) are. It makes it almost boring. Its like watching The Office, only there's actually legit crazy shit. Its almost like the total opposite of the Office really, as its like its intentionally trying to downlplay the awkwardness and insanity happening. The reality is waaaaaaaaay more nuts. He was doing lots of crazy shit that they didn't even delve into. And I have no idea why. But goes out its way to delve into the trucks of meat that Wal-Mart can't sell so supposedly donates to him, and even then it does it superficially (focuses more on the employees taking good packages of meat to eat themselves). It brushes over so much craziness to spend long periods of time bloviating about random shit, then glosses over so much else (like all the guys that Joe has married, and how a bunch of them are straight).

This article does a better job and takes less time to read than an single episode of this pretty shit documentary:

The Modern Barnum and His Equally Extraordinary Nemesis

Roadside zookeeper Joe Exotic took the tiger, and the lion, and the liger, by the tail and wouldn’t let go.

That was one of the biggest shockers...how do you spend all of those years filming & not have a backup?? I don't blame him for quitting after that. That would just crush a person.

Yeah I came away with the same idea too...I don't want someone's tiger to jump a fence, like a dog that got away. This horrible story happened just over a decade ago:

Charla Nash, Connecticut woman mauled by Travis the chimp in 2009, is back in the hospital for facial transplant rejection

Just wait till you get to what I’ll call the Travis episode...

The show starts out spiraling out of control. It continues accelerating out of control over all seven episodes.
