One of the television series that we have been watching during lockdown is the very strange (but true) documentary "Tiger King." It was released on Netflix at the end of March and became very popular very quickly, probably due to the higher than usual television audiences during lockdown. Ally, Cat and Davie started watching it first, and then I joined in. Everyone in the series seems bizarre, especially the titular Tiger King, aka Joe Exotic. He is a tiger collector and conservationist in Oklahoma, who has a bitter feud with his rival Carole Baskin of Florida. He accused Carole Baskin of killing her husband (who really did mysteriously disappear) and was then arrested himself for paying a hitman to murder Carole Baskin! The rest of the employees are just about as strange as their bosses and the tv series is compelling viewing because it's almost, but not quite, unbelievable. A strange programme for strange times.
