It is mostly about the scandalous lives of these people in America's big cat community... and we cannot get enough.There was a lot of drama over the years...

And Joe Exotic seemed to really have it in for Carole Baskin, with footage showing him repeatedly wishing death upon her and describing how he would like to kill her. Yikes.The show takes things to a whole new level...

And it has already been branded as "bonkers" by viewers but that certainly doesn't mean it isn't binge-worthy.Who knew there was such a large cult of exotic animal hoarders in the US?

And who knew there was so much rivalry and hate?But people seem to be forgetting that this is based on real-life...

And after he married both John Finlay and Travis Maldonado in a 3-way ceremony, both of his husbands gradually deteriorated with drug use and mental health problems. Travis tragically took his own life after he made claims that he wasn't at all gay, and Joe had simply hoodwinked him by fueling his addictions.And after this marriage tragically fell apart...

You can read the full list of all the best Tiger King memes at the end...
And we must say...
Tiger King couldn't have possibly come at a better time.
There are some things we wish we could unsee...
And this is certainly one of them.
Maybe this is what Joe would have looked like if he won his presidential campaign?
We also can't unsee this...
Sadly.
Joe Exotic is said to be revelling in his Tiger King induced fame...

And now it seems he has got bigger ideas beyond the documentary.Joe is already thinking about a biopic...
It looks like he's wanting to take his story to the big screen.While there are no movie adaptations currently in the works...
Joe has a few names in mind for who he would want to play him.And he has very high expectations.
Because, according to one of the series’ directors, Rebecca Chaiklin, Joe has named Brad Pitt or David Spade as his preferred actors to play him in any future movie adaptation. Well, um, dream big... that's what they say, right?Another Tiger King star also has ideas.

John Finlay has now offered his opinion on who should play him to People magazine."[Channing Tatum] always had a special place in my heart."
"He did a shout-out to my distant cousin; she died of stage-four brain cancer. When he did his shout-out, he did it because it was on her bucket list.""He has a special place in my heart because of that."
"But he’s a really good actor, and a lot of people are putting names out there with him in it."Finlay has another idea, too.
"[Shia LaBeouf] would probably be a good choice because with a beard he can look like me, and he can relate to me."
But now Carole Baskin has gone viral for another reason.
