Thx. So itā€™s actually irrelevant in this thread. Sound.

Iā€™m on about that ā€œethnicā€ music they play in every black & white clip they have of a load of Vietnamese chaps pottering about Saigon or wherever. Bing-bong-bong-bing-bong. Maybe they phase it out after the war kicks into gear round hour 6 or so.

Tiger King is shit. America is one seriously messed up country.

Its overrated but it gets slightly better after that. A good window into the untamed individualism of the rural american soul. Gets awful ghey at one stage mind you.

Rural America is a fucked up place in every way imaginable.

Its shocking poor in places sure as you know yourself. Cooking meth or stripping are realistic career choices.

Almost third world shit in some places ā€¦ and lads here think Cork people are parochial and clannishā€¦

Thereā€™s poverty in America as bad as anywhere in the world.

Living in shacks. Third world is exactly right with first world health care costs. You get sick, injured etc and hit with a bill for 100k that you canā€™t pay off or even afford to begin treatment. Crazy society in a way.

Itā€™s passable. Kept finding.myself going ā€œwhy am I watching these fucking weirdos?ā€ and turning it off. .

Entire cast more deserving of a spot in a circus than any tiger they pimped out.

Its fuckin rubbish.Rednecks acting all crazy n shit.I only managed 2 episodes and gave up.

Jesus I enjoyed it.

Every time you thought they had reached peak madness they go and top it

5 mins in to the second season of the Sunderland doc and I already hate this director of football/management speak fella.

20 million Americans live in a trailer.

Thereā€™s one good episode about half way through when it turns out Carole Baskin got rich by probably (almost definitely) murdering her millionaire ex-husband and feeding his body to the tigers. Thatā€™s the high-point.

Also none of Joeā€™s husbands are really gay, he just has all the young lads hooked on meth and he provides the drugs. One of his husbands, only 19 years old, kills himself. Joe gives a funeral oration in front of the dead kidā€™s mother thatā€™s fucking disgusting and says ā€œhe had the most beautiful balls Iā€™d ever seen, his balls were like golden nuggetsā€. Then Joe marries some other meth-addicted teenager the next month.

It would have been a decent watch for 3 hours but not 7.

America is fucked up beyond belief. Theres no hope for them. It should be abandoned.

It might have been interesting to use that series and Joeā€™s personality as an examination if the American Dream but the producers were too dense to do that.

I really donā€™t get the fascination people have with the US.

Society is grotesque over there yet people dream of going over there and building a life for themselves.

A seriously messed up society.

I watched this last night. Very enjoyable. The 2 boys for all their issues are funny cunts. Star of the show goes to their Mother Peggy. A fucking hero and a tremendous Mayo accent on her after 50 years in Manchester.
