Atlantans react to hit Netflix docuseries ‘Tiger King’
“Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” premiered on March 10, but it recently boomed in popularity as many have remained at home amid social distancing. Atlanta was no different as they gathered around their screens to watch the crime series unfold.
The show follows the feud between big cat enthusiast Carole Baskin and exotic animal lover Joe Exotic. Ultimately, things take a deadly turn as the battle escalates.

The twists and turns of the seven-episode set have led to plenty of reactions online — including some from Atlanta-area residents.
Many couldn’t help but think of the responses of the figures in the series when a disfiguring incident occurred.

When he explained that an arm has been ripped off instead of just saying that there’s been an emergency or accident is really when this documentary first went off the rails #TigerKing https://t.co/xusCo0IRPA

Ps. Carole Baskin, if you are reading this, this is a #google #augmentedreality image. We did not pay for a pic with a big cat and therefore perpetuate the exploitation of cub petting and breeding so don’t@me pic.twitter.com/qEkx9Vcn3e

One local decided that there was only a single person involved who made the most sense.
