1 | Tiger King: The Doc Antle Story
NetflixCan't get enough of big cats and the controversial personalities who love them?

This three-part series focuses on accusations of abuse leveled at Antle and features several people who used to work at his facility telling their occasionally shocking stories about what they saw and experienced.
Unsurprisingly, Antle has slammed the docuseries, saying, in part, "The story is loosely strung together by Netflix producers who are always so factual…not! They conjure up a story about a small mist that they present as a category five hurricane," in a statement issued to Metro.
