Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness
Netflix's latest true crime docuseries, dives
into the wild world of big cat owners and enthusiasts in
an exploration of one man's path from attention seeking
zoo owner to convicted criminal. The series focuses on
the little known but deeply interconnected society of
big cat conservationists and collectors in America,
exploring the private zoos and sanctuaries they've set
up for these unusual and deadly pets. The major conflict
and emphasis of the series revolves around the
contentious hatred between Joe Exotic, the
flamboyant owner of the Greater Wynnewood
Exotic Animal Park, and Carole
Baskin, owner of Big Cat Rescue.
Baskin makes it her personal mission to end private big
cat ownership in general and Exotic's cobbled together,
private Oklahoma zoo in particular.

In the late 1860's, the United States is just recovering from the bloody Civil
War. Yet, life goes on in New England, where the four March sisters are growing

free from the shackles of their families and coming into their own identities.
The four face heartbreak, sadness, love, and joy together in a world that's
rapidly changing around them. They have to help each other change with it, or
risk being left behind.
