Carole f***ing Baskin
I think it's safe to say that the world is currently obsessed with Joe Exotic, Carole Baskin and the cultural phenomenon that Tiger King on Netflix has become.
What is Tiger King about anyways?
Among the eccentrics and cult personalities in the stranger-than-fiction world of big cat owners, few stand out more than Joe Exotic, a mulleted, gun-toting polygamist and a country-western singer who presides over an Oklahoma roadside zoo. Charismatic but misguided, Joe and an unbelievable cast of characters including drug kingpins, conmen, and cult leaders all share a passion for big cats, and the status and attention their dangerous menageries garner.
But things take a dark turn when Carole Baskin, an animal activist and owner of a big cat sanctuary, threatens to put them out of business, stoking a rivalry that eventually leads to Joe’s arrest for a murder-for-hire plot and reveals a twisted tale where the only thing more dangerous than a big cat is its owner.
Tiger King is by far the most memed piece of media in 2020, with hundreds of dedicated accounts, groups and pages springing up all over the internet, most of which we cannot put here!
Joe Exotic was interviewed from prison on March 22.

Louis Theroux already had a Joe Exotic Documentary
As many experienced after finishing Tiger King, there was a void left that wasn't easily filled but then steps up good old Louis Theroux.
Just finished watching #TigerKing on #Netflix. I have a lot of thoughts which I'll post in a considered form in the next day or two. In the meantime, here is me and Joe back in the day and a link to the doc I did on player. https://t.co/oaVffJZl5j pic.twitter.com/VzMLHin2q1

How to find on Netflix
Louis' link is to the BBC Player which is annoyingly geoblocked in Ireland which means we can't access it! but if you know where to look on Netflix you will find it.
By Clicking here you should be brought straight to the series and the specific episode
If that doesn't work you need to search on Netflix - Louis Theroux, Beware of the Tiger and you should find it that way.
