To watch it all in real time is to develop a serious headache.

Tim stark now series#
Without much of an organizing philosophy, the series meanders from one subject to the next-a couple episodes about Don Lewis’s disappearance here, a rushed finale that implies Joe might one day get exonerated in a Part 3 there. If all of this is sounding a little scattershot, just know that this is merely the tip of a rapidly-melting iceberg of chaos. “God himself says I can do with them what I choose,” he says. The series repeatedly reminds us of Stark’s threat to kill his animals before allowing anyone to remove them. His appearance culminates with a chilling stand-off against authorities that makes it obvious how untouchable Stark and his fellow big cat owners feel. We also spend a fair amount of time with Tim Stark, another big cat guy who went into business with Jeff Lowe after Joe Exotic’s downfall. “Okay, alright,” one of Lewis’ daughters says while stroking his arm. A “psychic investigator” wanders the grounds where Don Lewis was allegedly last seen and begins weeping-both because he says he had a vision of Don’s murder and because after spending the entire day thinking about chicken, he’d spotted an empty chicken container near a porta-potty. Frank Sinatra’s “Come Fly with Me” plays as the plane takes off as they read the news of violence that broke out after they left early, one of the men says, “I hope our banner got noticed.” Joe Exotic’s brother shows up to shoot a target with his face on it and say he has no interest in seeing his brother after 20 years of estrangement. for the January 6 insurrection with a banner promoting their cause. In one episode, we observe attorneys working to pardon Joe Exotic flying to Washington, D.C. Tiger King 2’s premiere details how various figures from this world have capitalized on their newfound fame-including Carole Baskin, who joined Dancing with the Stars this year months after the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office reopened the investigation into Lewis’ disappearance, and Joe’s husband Dillon Passage, who has cut ties and is now promoting products including an anal bleach called “Tail Brightener.” (Strip club owner Jeff Garretson even gives an encore of his much-memed jet ski shot from Season 1.) All of our favorite “characters” from the original series return, albeit a lot more Cameo-famous than before. Those who found themselves entranced by the spectacle of Tiger King’s original release will find even more unbelievable stories and visuals to gawk at here. He participated in Tiger King 2 while sitting on a trash can in federal prison. The former GW Zoo owner still claims that his alleged murder-for-hire plot against Big Cat Rescue owner Carole Baskin was a set-up, the result of collusion between the feds and his onetime business associate Jeff Lowe. Eight episodes sketched out his rise as a big cat guy and self-obsessed web personality while also unraveling his demise.

Tiger King made a folk hero out of Oklahoman private zoo owner Joseph Maldonado-Passage and his “exotic” brand. One might imagine that his passing would have given producers pause ahead of their release, but the boundaries of good taste don’t exactly seem to matter here anyway. He was found dead in a Brooklyn apartment this September the cause of death was later determined to be acute and chronic alcohol use. He gets a brief memorial photo just before the credits roll after popping up just a couple times in preceding episodes-including, at one point, to call a joke about Donald Trump anally penetrating animal-rights activist Carole Baskin “fabulous.”Ĭowie became a household name last year, alongside others who appeared in Netflix’s original Tiger King. Tiger King 2 does not acknowledge the death of Erik Cowie, a former zookeeper at Joe Exotic’s Oklahoma zoo who also appears in the series, until the very end.
