Carole Baskin's Cage Fight (2021) User Reviews

low quality documentary

[new859 · 5/10 · 6 December 2021]

From entertainment point of view, this documentary has much lower quality comparing to Tiger King one and two. There are no surprising turns, no colorful characters, no story lines. This documentary doesn't change my negative view of Carole. By the way, there's no content on her former husband's murder trial in this documentary. The new detective guy is really annoying. He wants audiences to believe what he has done is dangerous and risky. But in fact it's plainly easy. Just pay 300 dollars and using his phone to record the animals, which is totally allowed by the zoo owner. What's risky about that? One thing impressed me is how efficient Carole taking down her enemies. Just using drones to capture what is going on in Jeff's zoo and send it to USDA, she effectively destroyed Jeff. How smart!

It's good to get both sides

But unlike Joe, Carol is a pain to watch. She's hollow, and I don't trust her at all. It is like watching Fauci. I can't handle listening to a fraud talk about how virtuous they are for more than an hour.

Making a mountain out od a mole hill

This has to be one of the silliest shows ever. They just speculate. Surely this show will not last. They keep talking about evidence but never really get any. I feel their drone is being used illegally .

Provoking

[dshell102 · 1/10 · 17 November 2021]

They fly their drones, they invade their privacy...then complain when people get upset and pretend they're getting violent.

If you watch, her comments don't match reality. If you had someone after you making all these things up and criticizing you, you'd be upset as well. And she pretends she doesn't understand why they're upset.

She does a lot of criticizing and complaining but it seems they really don't find anything. I'm halfway through the second episode and this is just an enormous waste of time.

Save big cats

[kudo-57378 · 10/10 · 15 November 2021]

I liked how this show was actually showing Carole's perspective. Tiger King glorified abuse of animals and made it more into a reality show. I wish there were more than 2 episodes in this series though.

First of two part response documentary

[cjgmusic · 7/10 · 15 November 2021]

First episode didn't produce much but still leaves you with a sick feeling about what went on during Joe's time at the property. Joe's niece spilling the tea was crucial to validating this. I hope there's more to come in the 2nd part. So disgusting what people will do to animals, especially the more awesome creatures. I hope she gets the evidence she needs.

Update: Second episode was worth it. For those who love animals, this is the better docu to watch. I wish there was more than 2 episodes but applaud her struggle and her efforts to turn their wrongs into rights for the animals.

I actually just sat there and cried

[sekaise · 10/10 · 20 November 2021]

Last year when I watched tiger king I honestly didn't know what to think. But this cleared up everything for me. I think you truly get a sense of who Carole baskin is in this series, and that was the best takeaway. I didn't know what to make of her during tiger king and now I see someone who truly loves and cares that these animals get justice. I broke down and cried when Carole was talking about what cycle all these cubs go through. I couldn't watch this new tiger king 2 series after watching this. My only gripe is that the series seems unfinished and I kind of want to watch more. I also really liked the organization helping her throughout the series, I'd watch just a series on them too.

Ignore the people review bombing

[Anthony_Wilkinson_742 · 10/10 · 16 November 2021]

Form your own opinion after fully listening to both sides. I get that Joe is charismatic but you are falling for his trap. Obviously he's going to lie about the person shutting him down.

It goes well beyond Tiger King

[dmkale · 10/10 · 17 November 2021]

Her work is amazing. People are making tons of money breeding and selling these cats so of course they are going to be review bombing this show. She uncovers people who are connected in this network of endangered animals. It is sick and we need to care for the 5000 animals that are being kept in cages here in the USA.

Promising But Only 2 Episodes

[larahart-613-732915 · 8/10 · 17 November 2021]

Love that it kind of shows Carole's side, but it focused more on spying on "the bad guys" more than anything. It shows that Jeff Lowe is a POS no matter whose side you're seeing. I wish there were more episodes to really make this something better.

Engaging

[sofietrenton · 10/10 · 4 December 2021]

It was a gripping watch. My husband and I watched both episodes back to back. It left us wanting to see more. It's definitely worth watching, especially if you finished Tiger King 2 and looking for more content.
