The third volume in the Docalogue series, this book explores the
significance of the documentary series Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem
and Madness (2020), which became 'must-see-TV' for a newly captive
audience during the global Covid-19 pandemic. The series – a
true-crime, tabloid spectacle about a murder-for-hire plot within
the big cat trade – prompts interesting questions about which
documentaries become popular in particular moments and why.
However, it also raises important questions related to the medium
specificity of documentary in the streaming era, as well as the
ethics of both human and animal representation. By combining five
distinct perspectives on the Netflix documentary series, this book
offers a complex and cumulative discourse about Tiger King’s
significance in multiple areas including, but not limited to,
animal studies, queer theory, genre studies, labor relations, and
digital culture. Students and scholars of film, media, television,
and cultural studies will find this book extremely valuable in
understanding the significance of this larger-than-life true-crime
documentary series.
