“老虎国王”第2季是一个沉闷的演出，该节目应该留在隔离
‘Tiger King’ Season 2 Is a Dull Rehash of a Show That Should’ve Stayed in Quarantine
正如“老虎国王”本身在其第2季首映中所指出的那样，在带有严峻惊悚片的所有戏剧性引力的开场序列中，Netflix完全在正确的时机上丢下了“老虎·金”，使它成为它所做的文化感觉。到2020年3月19日，数以百万计的人被困在家里，等待着小说冠状病毒的第一波浪潮，并没有意识到生活将会改变时间比完善酸味的起动器所花费的时间更长。对于其他人来说，除了致命的病毒之外，其他任何人都饿死了，像“老虎王”这样的浮华和飞溅的东西提供了一种完美的干扰。交战俄克拉荷马州大猫爱好者“乔·异国情调”，卡罗尔·巴斯金（Carole Baskin）以及周围的狂野角色的编织故事被证明是不可抗拒的。该节目并不是特别好，制作精良并不重要。在所有俗气的荣耀中，“老虎·金”在最纯粹的意义上是娱乐。在那一刻，仅此而已。现在观看丽贝卡·夏克林（Rebecca Chaiklin）和埃里克·古德（Eric Goode）系列的新期，这是一个超现实的世界。第一集几乎完全涉及“老虎·金”对其主题的影响，大多数人显然在大流行中度过了最黑暗的日子，完全忽略了它，并为自拍照的粉丝们收取。巴斯金继续“与星共舞”，并上传了数十个视频，这些视频阅读了旧日记条目，以阻止互联网侦探挖掘她的第二任丈夫失踪的寒冷案例 - 毫不奇怪的是，当人们穿越她时，她的gambit在她的第二任丈夫中，这是一个gambit。每个视频都有更多线索。同时，乔·异国（Joe Exotic鲁RID角色对他们的突然成名做出反应，即使以一种不正当的方式。在一个杰出的场景中，乔异国情调的同情者磨坊关于国会大厦今年的大厦，希望能引起特朗普的赦免，只是让抗议者首先拒绝他们。 （当他们离开华盛顿特区时，人们对他们身后发生的混乱发生了警报，可悲地表达了希望他们的“赦免乔异国情调”旗帜至少受到一些关注。 Double Down，知道这样做会养活他们狂热的新粉丝群，比该系列本身似乎更有启发性，因为它将他们重新回到了聚光灯的温暖拥抱中。 Tiger King”揭示了该节目的真实含义，尤其是随意地探索唐·刘易斯（Don Lewis）的消失。虽然它最初很幸运地成为了一个魅力的演员，该演员占领了国家的关注n在历史上真正独特的时刻，其核心是“老虎国王”是一个中间的真实犯罪系列，这是一个充满同一的流媒体服务，此外，它缺乏注意力范围，无法深入研究其许多人的关键背景，许多故事。如今，我们中的许多人不仅局限于我们的房屋，或者至少已经弄清楚了我们时间的更好用途以来，自去年春天的特殊情况变得更加普通以来。现在，马戏团已经继续前进，“老虎金”不再像以前那样诱人的杂物。
As “Tiger King” itself notes in its Season 2 premiere, during an opening sequence delivered with all the melodramatic gravitas of a grim thriller, Netflix dropped “Tiger King” at precisely the right moment for it to become the cultural sensation it did. By March 19 of 2020, millions of people were stuck at home waiting out the first wave of the novel coronavirus, not realizing that life was about to change for a much longer time than it takes to perfect sourdough starter. For anyone else starved for something besides a deadly virus to focus on, something as flashy and splashy as “Tiger King” provided the perfect kind of distraction. The interwoven tales of warring Oklahoma big cat enthusiasts “Joe Exotic,” Carole Baskin, and the wild cast of characters surrounding them proved irresistible. That the show wasn’t particularly good or well-made didn’t really matter. “Tiger King,” in all its tacky glory, was entertainment in the purest sense. In that moment, that’s all it had to be.
Watching the new installments of Rebecca Chaiklin and Eric Goode’s series now, in a world far removed from the one in which it first premiered, is surreal. The first episode almost entirely deals with the effect “Tiger King” had on its subjects, most of whom apparently spent the darkest days of the pandemic ignoring it completely and charging crowds of fans for selfies. Baskin went on “Dancing With the Stars” and uploaded dozens of videos of herself reading old diary entries to discourage internet sleuths from digging into the cold case of her second husband’s disappearance — a gambit that has, unsurprisingly, backfired spectacularly as people trawl through her every video for more clues. Meanwhile, Joe Exotic is still in prison after failing to get a presidential pardon from Donald Trump before he left office, but continues to make righteous vows of vengeance over the phone against all those who have ever wronged him.
It’s undeniably compelling to watch these already lurid characters react to their sudden fame, even if in a perverse sort of way. In a standout scene, Joe Exotic sympathizers mill about the Capitol early on January 6 of this year in hopes of getting Trump’s attention for a pardon, only to have the protestors reject them first. (As they leave D.C., one gets an alert about the developing chaos happening behind them and sadly voices the hope that their “PARDON JOE EXOTIC” banner at least got some attention.) And seeing how the sensationalized series encouraged some of its worst actors to double down, knowing that doing so will feed their rabid new fanbase, is more illuminating than the series itself seems to realize as it thrusts them back into the warm embrace of the spotlight.
After that meta first episode, though, this new season of “Tiger King” reveals the show for what it truly is, especially as it haphazardly explores the disappearance of Don Lewis. While it initially lucked into a charismatic cast that captured the nation’s attention at a truly unique moment in history, at its core, "Tiger King" is a middling true-crime series on a streaming service chock full of the same, that furthermore lacks the attention span to dig deeper into the crucial context of its many, many stories. Today, many of us are less confined to our homes, or at least have figured out better uses of our time since the extraordinary circumstances of last spring became rather more ordinary.
