Joe vs Carole Star Didn’t Like Netflix’s Tiger King Documentary
Joe vs Carole star John Cameron Mitchell revealed he didn't like Netflix's Tiger King, as he thought it was too unempathetic. Joe vs Carole is an American drama miniseries based on Wondery's Over My Dead Body podcast and follows the case of Joe Exotic's murder-for-hire plot. The series stars Mitchell as Exotic, a private zookeeper, and Kate McKinnon as Carole Baskin, an American animal rights activist. Joe vs Carol released on March 3rd and while it received praise for Mitchell and McKinnon's performances, the series was criticized for revisiting a story that has already been covered before.
The first season of Tiger King premiered on March 20, 2020 and captivated audiences during the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. Tiger King explored the real-life tale of Exotic, whose murder-for-hire plot landed him in prison for 22-years. The series also explored Exotic's shady business partner, Jeff Lowe, the disappearance of Baskin's husband, and the unethical practices of private zoos and the big cat trade. Tiger King season 1 received positive reception, but season 2 was criticized for adding nothing substantial to the first season's investigation.
