Tiger King was presented as a fun trashy mess with a whole cast of equally crazy characters.
Turns out, one of those characters abused, raped, groomed and pimped out teenage girls for literal decades.
Some of this footage was from the same interviews as the original series. There is no way the filmmakers were not aware of how dark and serious the situation here was. And they decided first to show us wacky Joe and his bizarre rivalry with a woman in Florida. I guess now that they needed a third series we can get around to exposing the actual crimes that took place?
Tiger King was supposed to be an exposure of a dirty industry, so it leaves a bad taste in my mouth that not only did they choose to ignore the blatant abuse in favor of a "better" story but also that now Netflix wants to milk all the money out of this franchise it's now a story worth telling.
