More Critic Reviews for Tiger King Season 1 All Critics (45) | Top Critics (10) | Fresh (43) | Rotten (2) It's a tiger of a tale; exotic is an understatement. Mar 31, 2020 | Rating: A- | Full Review… Adam Graham Detroit News Top Critic Tiger King is genuinely compulsive viewing. Mar 25, 2020 | Full Review… Sam Adams Slate Top Critic "Tiger King" manages to tell an electrifying story with an open mind, a shrewd eye, and a delicate touch. Mar 23, 2020 | Rating: A- | Full Review… Steve Greene indieWire Top Critic Tiger King is Netflix comfort food of the highest order: it immerses viewers in a mind-boggling lifestyle and series of scandals, and yet the term 'true-crime' doesn't do justice to its greatness. Mar 20, 2020 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review… Nick Allen RogerEbert.com Top Critic Whatever your reservations about the docuseries' ethics, Tiger King is perfectly engineered to be mass consumed by a bored, quarantined populace thirsty for salacious content to make memes about. Apr 1, 2020 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review… Dominic Griffin The Armchair Auteur "Tiger King" is so batshit, it could be a parody. Mar 31, 2020 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review… Brad Keefe Columbus Alive The show has an irresistible pull, with its eccentric cast and escalating series of events. It's too bad it didn't do more with the story besides just hacking it up and throwing bloody chunks at ravenous Netflix viewers. Mar 31, 2020 | Full Review… Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred It is the best sort of crowd-pleasing documentary, titillating yet sweeping in its scope and the breadth of its amazing access and elaborate story building. Mar 31, 2020 | Rating: B + | Full Review… Neil Morris Chatham News + Record (NC) It's a lot to unpack, and I highly recommend you watch it because it is 100% gold entertainment. Mar 30, 2020 | Full Review… Steph Cozza Aggressive Comix As satisfying, depressing, and compelling the human stories of Tiger King are, how they parallel this moment in history is what makes it a worthy ascendant into the pantheon of cultural touchstones. Mar 30, 2020 | Full Review… Randy Dankievitch Goomba Stomp The show is a cautionary tale of letting those feuds and escalations get out of control. Mar 30, 2020 | Full Review… Jeremy Jahns JeremyJahns.com Tiger King is the first great fictional unifier of the coronavirus age. Ironically, however, it is about a stratum of society that could be partially blamed for the apocalypse that we currently find ourselves engulfed by - politically and environmentally. Mar 30, 2020 | Full Review… Rohan Naahar Hindustan Times View All Critic Reviews (45) Audience Reviews for Tiger King: Season 1 6h ago I feel a little guilty at how entertaining I found this doc series that at times felt more like Jerry Springer than true crime. The eccentric cast of characters should be enough to hold most people's interest. Steve H 7h ago I wouldn't recommend. Rick M 11h ago Greatest piece of television that has come out in my lifetime. 100% American. Reza Z 16h ago It's hard to look away - I watched all 7 episodes in a day. The characters are so scummy, but they're captivating. Chris F 20h ago This is the craziest TV show I've ever seen. If this wasn't filmed, no one would believe you if you told them the story of Tiger King! Jason H 23h ago Equal parts compelling, bizarre and infuriating, this is a documentary that will leave you with many questions about each of the private zoo owners that you're presented with throughout the 7 episodes, their morals (or lack of) and their culpability in several tragic events that are never satisfyingly resolved. You'll be left wondering whether any of them are any better than each other and you'll come to the conclusion that none of them should be allowed to own or breed exotic animals Sasha T 1d ago This is the reality tv I've always wanted to see. Takes pettiness to a whole new level, with tigers! ashish c 1d ago I binge watched it in one night and now i dont know what im gunna do with my life. Must watch Smith B 1d ago Good entertainment, but forgettable in a day or two. Vedesh N 1d ago Relentlessly engaging for the sheer absurdity of its source material, Tiger King offers surprisingly nuanced portraits of an industry that attracts the most bizarre and outlandish personalities. Well paced and presented overall, regardless of whether or not you agree with any of the series' ridiculous personalities.
