TigerKing picked up 6 Emmys nominations, but does the show deserve our attention?
docuseries, which could have their own Netflix category along the lines of “too crazy to be true — or is it?!” Netflix’s track record with shows about true crime and wild cults of personality is that they balloon into pop culture phenomena that flood the entertainment news cycle for a few weeks before fading from view to let the next circus roll into town.
“Tiger King,” directed by Eric Goode and Rebecca Chaiklin, meanders from story to story, making the audience stare in slack-jawed wonder at the characters it’s portraying as if they’re also feral animals in a zoo. It’s rarely clear when participants are giving interviews, a crucial component of a series that takes place over several tumultuous years.
At such an awful time in the world, when dumb pleasure is scarce and sorely needed, it’s not in anyone’s best interest to be a jerk about benign things that can distract people for a minute. But “Tiger King” isn’t benign. It’s an opportunistic grab at relevance that fails to shed any light on its subjects because it’s far too busy gaping at them.
