If you haven't yet had a chance to sit down and watch it, the seven-part docuseries follows a bunch of redneck tiger owners (they keep 1,200 tigers in their backyard to be precise), as the zoo quickly becomes involved in a drug ring, an online reality show, and...well, a murder-for-hire charge.

Joe Exotic, also know as Joseph Maldonado-Passage, is the man behind the sequin shirt, and despite his outlandish ways, everyone on the internet has fallen somewhat in love with him.

Despite being the "enemy" of the show, the documentary delves deep into his love of animals, his dedication to his three husbands, and a conspiracy theory that the 'Big Cat Rescue' hero Carole, may have just murdered her millionaire husband.

We're already holding out for a season 2 live with Joe Exotic from jail. Do your thing, Netflix.
