Plot: A zoo owner spirals out of control amid a cast of eccentric characters in this true murder-for-hire story from the underworld of big cat breeding.
I find the plot to this documentary to be very fascinating.
this show is Insanely entertaining.
Pros: I did like each episode had to focus on a different subject, the pacing for this show is like “surprise on top of surprise on top of surprise”, this show blurs the lines between good & bad things can get when it comes for caring about wildlife & Joe Exotic was so charismatic & a larger-than-life personality that he kept me glued to my screen.
Cons: There was too much adult content for younger viewers to turn off this documentary or just fast forward the content to the next scene, I didn’t like how they treat these animals, and some people are treated badly on this show & at times the show can be hard to watch.
