EPISODE 1.1
Unwanted Animals
A feud is born between a woman devoted to saving
... More big cats and the owner of an exotic animal zoo.LessCreated by and starring Kate McKinnon as Carole Baskin, this dramatised retelling of the events told in Netflix's Tiger King depicts the battle between Baskin and Joe Exotic (John Cameron Mitchell, Shrill).
When Carole Baskin, a big cat enthusiast, learns that when fellow exotic animal lover Joe "Exotic" Schreibvogel is breeding and using his big cats for profit, she sets out to shut down his venture, inciting a quickly escalating rivalry. But Carole has a checkered past of her own and when the claws come out, Joe will stop at nothing to expose what he sees as her hypocrisy.
LessJoe vs. Carole, despite some decent performances and effective directing from Justin Tipping, rarely justifies its existence.
Full reviewA misguided docudrama that veers haphazardly between bad taste dramatics and hairbrained comedy...
Full reviewI’d say it would have been better as a two-hour movie, but I’m not even sure that’s true. It just would have been shorter.
Full review(McKinnon and Mitchell) turn middling and well-worn material into a deeply engaging human (and feline) drama.
Full reviewOn a technical level, Joe vs. Carole feels like a cheap reenactment of what audiences saw on Netflix.
Full review“I always thought cat people were a little weird…” Lady, you have no idea.
Filmed in Queensland, this Stan series dramatises the big cat crime story we’re already fur-miliar with.
Joe vs Carole: Miniseries is available to stream in Australia now on Stan.
