Remember gay cowboy Joe Exotic, his bizarre zoo in Oklahoma, his peroxidized Longueuil haircut, his toothless lover, his cheesy country music videos and his nemesis, the petty feline Carole Baskin?
Keep those precious memories intact by not viewing Tiger king 2, please. What a disappointment that this sequel to Tiger king, which Netflix offers in five one-hour blocks.
It’s long, frustrating, repetitive, scattered and devoid of surprising twists and turns. Nothing to do with the explosive first season, which marked the collective imagination in the first months of 2020. Yes, the pandemic and the shutdown of the television industry have boosted the popularity of this socio-animal docuseries. But with his circus characters and his soap opera plots trash, Tiger king was great quality entertainment that I loved.
The second chapter does not add anything relevant to this already super creepy subculture story.
First, Joe Exotic is still languishing in prison, despite a request for forgiveness addressed to President Donald Trump. The fallen king of the jungle is serving a 22-year sentence for plotting the murder of rival Carole Baskin, the owner of a tiger and lion refuge in Florida. Joe Exotic therefore no longer appears on camera and his rattling voice only echoes through phone calls from the detention center.
Carole Baskin, whose ex-husband Don Lewis disappeared under nebulous circumstances in 1997, is also conspicuous by her absence. She refused to speak to documentary filmmakers about Tiger king 2. Finally, a good decision on the part of this Floridian with a doubtful judgment (the lulus and the excessive leopard patterns, it’s no).
The first episode traces the thread of the tumultuous life of Joe Exotic: his violent father, his taste for disguises, his constant need for attention, his engagement with the daughter of the fire chief, his work as a naked dancer, his first marriage. with a man, her current husband who is trying to break into Hollywood, his former employees who hate him. In short, a sort of cutesy Musicography.
In the second episode, Joe Exotic comes out of the portrait and the investigation focuses on the disappearance of Don Lewis. Did Carole Baskin murder and throw the body of her partner in the lion cage? Or did the wealthy Don Lewis just rebuild his life under a false identity in Costa Rica?
Her daughters do not adhere to this theory and still suspect their stepmother, who denies everything, while the local police are in full mystery. Already seen, already heard.
At the end of the third episode, the arrival of a medium at Jojo Savard finished me off. This hyper religious psychic is completely delirious and he sees in his head the film of the assassination of Don Lewis.
OK, folks, this is where the nonsense ends. For once a medium has been of great use, we can only thank him for it.

To paraphrase Louise Sigouin, the champion in setting personal boundaries: our TV singles did not all take off on the same “wheelie” this week.
In the boys’ houseDouble occupancy in the West, the voluntary departure of Jackson, 26, was experienced as a diagnosis of a fatal disease by his roommates.
Even if the Laval resident Jackson will see his “boys” again very soon in the tour of the P’tite Grenouille du Québec, tears flowed in torrents, “funeral” -type tributes erupted and Luca the nurse, a big fan of air diffusers. , totally lost the sun of his life, bro.
With his foot in the door, Jackson, to whom no one has found fault, opened his heart to the entrepreneur Frederick, 24: “Fred, you’re an insane guy, my boy. You are young, you are enterprising, you have everything for you. You’re tall, you look good, like, I never want you to forget that. The male version of “you’re beautiful, you’re fine, you’re capable”.
Immediately after the strategic elimination of the couple Sarah-Donia and Philippe last week, Clodelle congratulated herself: no one is playing strategically this year at OD, yeah ! Fortunately, the lucid Audrey has reframed it: “Well that, it’s an ostia of strategy, I told you. What we did was something. ” Well said.
Sunday evening, during a banal episode of assembling IKEA furniture and dog sledding, a first couple (Inès and Stevens) won their plane tickets to Punta Cana. Punishment or reward, this rather gringo destination?
On the side of If we loved each other, a papillote of zucchini almost made the cutest couple in TVA’s docurality burst, Vicky and François. Between her cooking anxiety, a nocturnal panic attack and the fear of losing “her freedom in engagement”, Vicky, 50, almost sabotaged her relationship.
But no ! The God of dualities has listened to us and our two lovebirds have taken a crucial step: the creation of a joint account for their little pleasures.
As in the old editions ofDouble occupation, Dominic was entitled to an emergency call, namely 1 800 LOUISE. And that phone call was salutary for Dominic, 33, whose last meeting with co-dependent Audrey was as enjoyable as a bagpipe solo on an empty stomach.
Audrey, 28, is the new Brigitte of If we loved each other. Viewers are tearing her to pieces on Facebook, and production regularly kicks in to quell the ardor of the trolls. Yes, Audrey is infuriating, but from there to insulting him publicly, we calm down the “little inner crosseur”, thank you.
As for Marie-Denise, she further enhanced her collection of judgmental faces in front of Tim. Surprise, disbelief, despair, anguish or repulsion, Marie-Denise has an expression to decorate each of her pairs of glasses!
