Quote

Carole Baskin, a big cat rescuer, learns that roadside zoo owner Joe Exotic has hired a hit man to murder her; seven years earlier, their rivalry begins when she builds a coalition to shut down his animal show and cub-petting operation.

How do you make such a strange, interesting and absurde story boring? That is an accomplishment right there. I don't think I could have done this.

First of all Kate McKinnon should have played Joe Exotic instead of Carol Baskin. Then they should have gotten Kristen Wiig as Carole. Already 200% better. Alternatively, get another actor for Joe, who can actually pull off that character. I think Rob Lowe wanted to do it. But mainly this needs way better writing.

I'm still debating if I'll give it one more episode or call it quits right here.

Hard to believe there are so few comments.  I accidentally landed on it and was undecided.  I have preconceived opinions based on other pieces I’ve seen about the story, including the documentary.  The mistreatment of animals is difficult to watch.
