Of course, a global pandemic is happening and everyone is ordered to stay at home, so it's easy to understand the show's huge success, which were further boosted by intense social media buzz.

The Netflix documentary series centers on the story of Joseph Maldonado-Passage, aka “Joe Exotic,” a former Oklahoma tiger-zoo owner who’s serving a 22-year prison sentence for his role in the Carole Baskin murder-for-hire plot and other charges.
