Tiger King (2020)

Tiger King became the defining quarantine phenomenon, drawing 64 million households in its first month on Netflix—more than twice the viewership of the 2020 Super Bowl. The series documents Joe Exotic's bitter feud with Carole Baskin, featuring bizarre schemes, a murder-for-hire plot, and a sprawling cast of eccentric characters. Paced faster than the average true crime documentary and outperforming #4 Serial in cultural impact, Tiger King proved that real-life absurdity often surpasses fiction, cementing its place as a pop culture touchstone despite its lighter tone.
