Reviews & comments
Sydney Morning Herald
pressThe characters are larger than life, their backstories are often heartbreaking, their motivations and actions are highly questionable -- sometimes flat-out criminal -- and the trajectory of the story is never remotely predictable.
Hollywood Reporter
pressWhatever flaws it might have, Tiger King is a series that viewers, especially quarantined viewers who might be feeling a little caged themselves, will tear into like a liger into a pile of expired luncheon meat from Walmart.
Vanity Fair
pressTiger King is not an uplifting object to gather around as we sink further into the gloom of isolation. But it is riveting, and well worth a watch: a tale of caged things that is, nonetheless, pretty wild.
Variety
pressFor those who love Netflix's particular flavor of true crime and docuseries, which depend heavily on wild characters and addictive pacing in order to keep a couchbound audience entertained, Tiger King will undoubtedly scratch a particular itch.
Salon
pressThe outlandish world presented by Tiger King is funny, gross, frustrating, contemplative, and ultimately sympathetic. This is a story of animals, yes, but it's also a story of what makes us human.
IndieWire
press"Tiger King" manages to tell an electrifying story with an open mind, a shrewd eye, and a delicate touch.
Vox
pressTiger King doesn't quite manage to achieve any of its possible aims... But it's an undeniably entertaining look into an epic American yarn that seems far too strange to not be fiction.
