The twists are so wild that it would only make sense if this were scripted, but you have to remind yourself this isn’t a reality show. It’s very much a documentary. Only now, it’s about what the audience wants just as much as what it captures within these new celebrities. Read full review

Exotic is in prison, so there are no fresh shots of him with his snaggly grin and straggly mane. Episode one gets round this by delving into his early life. ... The last two instalments return to Joe Exotic, and whether his conviction for conspiring to murder Baskin is sound. Read full review

While Tiger King 2 is definitely not as addictive as its record-breaking predecessor and tends to jump manically from subject to subject at an almost-overwhelming speed, the second season of this Netflix juggernaut is definitely worth watching if you’re a true crime fanatic who is still fascinated by the chaotic world of Joe Exotic and his big cat kingdom.

The Joe Exotic of Tiger King 2 is a much-reduced figure in prison overalls. We only see him sporadically on grainy footage talking to camera over a prison phone. Read full review

The Tiger King sequel is a frustrating mess, with none of the gripping storytelling that made the original run such a guilty pleasure. Read full review

With a story that feels like it’s being made up in the moment, Netflix’s second season of “Tiger King” feels like a blatant grab for cash, hoping to snare all the people that watched the series during the pandemic. Read full review

The Telegraph Chris Bennion

Nov 17, 2021

Goode and Chaiklin dig up plenty of dirt on Lewis and his seemingly dodgy dealings in Costa Rica (including, one acquaintance claims, sleeping with underage girls), but it only adds to the feeling that this is a tawdry affair that leaves no one enlightened. ... It’s a mess. Read full review

Just as bombastic as the prior season. This season manages to keep the pace of the first season, while adding depth to the characters. You’re left with even more questions in the end

If you liked the first season this is worth watching, it's not as good but it was entertaining enough that I binged it in one go. I don't understand the hate personally, I enjoyed it.

I know everyone is saying it’s bad and we already know all the stuff they talk about but those people also say they couldn’t finish the second episode, you should watch the whole show before judging because there are some plot twists. Take a look at breaking bad in season 4 a whole episodeI know everyone is saying it’s bad and we already know all the stuff they talk about but those people also say they couldn’t finish the second episode, you should watch the whole show before judging because there are some plot twists. Take a look at breaking bad in season 4 a whole episode is just them trying to kill a fly and that didn’t get any bad reviews, Because if you power through the boring episodes you get to the juicy episodes.… Expand

Couldn't finish it. The first episode, albeit largely boring, is probably worth a view for a few scattered reasons, one of which being an examination of Exotic's cop stripping days. But after that, it becomes clear it's merely an empty cash grab with nothing to show for itself. It's sloppy,Couldn't finish it. The first episode, albeit largely boring, is probably worth a view for a few scattered reasons, one of which being an examination of Exotic's cop stripping days. But after that, it becomes clear it's merely an empty cash grab with nothing to show for itself. It's sloppy, unfocused, vapid, and patently desperate. Netflix's American productions have been frankly well below the bar for of kind of a while now.… Expand

The only reason to watch this mess would be if they dug deeper into Carole Baskin's murder of her husband. They don't. Exotic is too stupid and crass to keep our interest, so file this under "should not have been made and should not be seen."

This is all the stuff we already know and saw. Boring. I gave up halfway through episode 2. First season was phenomenal. Don't bother with this cashgrab.

Creative bankruptcy is at work here. You need a sequel documentary to germinate organically. These creators lost sight of that core principle.
