I’m not even 20 minutes into the new season of Tiger King, and I can go ahead and tell you this has the potential to be as good, if not better, than season one.
Now I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again. I thought there was no way in HELL they could add a second season of Tiger King.
How could they?
There was so much insanity that went on, that there’s no way they could make a follow up that could compete. And with Joe in jail? Good luck…
Now, I’m not gonna give any spoilers, but from what I’ve gathered so far, this season is gonna be a deeper-dive into the characters as people.
With that being said, I can say I’ve learned some wild shit about Joe Exotic already…
Did you know that the man joined the police academy immediately after high school, and was the youngest to graduate from the academy at the age of 19, and the youngest cop in Texas?
That’s right, he was a police officer in the tiny town of Eastvale, Texas.
Could you imagine? The gun-slingin’, Tiger ownin’, country music (lip) singin’, gay, stripping for the mayor, son of a gun was a former police officer?
And on top of that, he patrolled in a Trans Am… because of course he did.
Ronnie O’Neal, his former Sergeant, weighed in on working with him:
“I remember he had a Trans Am, and that’s what he patrolled in. It was decked out with a light bar on top, with a green and blue strobe.
I’ll never forget that as long as I live. Looked like a Christmas tree coming down the road.”
Needless to say, the world is stunned…
