Jordan Moreau Variety 12/11/2021
Tiger King once roared on Netflix. Now, the docuseries franchise about exotic animal collectors can barely muster a squeak. Go to Full Review Ed Power Daily Telegraph (UK) 12/10/2021
2/5
Joe Exotic fans sitting down to Tiger King: The Doc Antle Story in anticipation of another true crime rollercoaster may soon wish they'd look elsewhere for their cheap thrills. Go to Full Review Megan Schuster The Ringer 02/27/2023
Overall, the special episode was light on new substance. Instead, it served as a display of Tiger King’s continued popularity—and of our willingness to eat up any and all Joe Exotic content. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 01/05/2022
1/5
Tiger King: The Doc Antle Story is nothing more than a boring, muckraking spectacle designed to capitalize on whatever infamy the franchise has to offer. Go to Full Review Erin Maxwell L.A. Weekly 12/20/2021
The final revelation is too little, too late. In the end, the only victims aren't Joe or anyone from his camp, but the many, many animals that were neglected. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

NervousBunnyGaming Jul 11 It’s definitely not as surprising or as “fun” as the original Tiger King first season, but it’s definitely better than the boring second season. I hope Doc Antle rots in jail, too. At the end of this season I truly feel terrible for the tigers and all the vulnerable people who got sucked up in this world of narcissistic big cat owners. They all deserve to sit in jail together and whine at each other. See more 12/28/2021 This guy is somehow even worse than Exotic Joe and I am sure, with the insatiable appetite the original series created, many of these colorful criminals who participated in that docuseries are likely questioning that decision today. See more dave d 12/11/2021 Tiger King: Beating a Dead Tiger... errrr or whatever it's called is a hit piece on a bad guy and it's so horrible you feel sympathy for the guy who is just a rotten dude, Doc Antle. Too much Tiger King! This comes off as a bitter ex GF gossip story, than a documentary. If he did do these crimes (murder, et all) they SHOULD be brought to the police, not told on camera. Are people trying to tell a story to be famous, some are likely genuine, but many others are not. I went through the pain so you don't have to! See more Read all reviews
