Tik Tok remixes, a wide-ranging public debate/discussion over whether Joe Exotic’s accusations of Don Lewis’ supposed murder were valid or not, and even a social media post with O.J. Simpson chiming in on his thoughts about the matter were all part of the immediate aftermath in the wake of the series’ debut.
Which, in turn, sent the meme machine flying into overdrive.
No matter which side of the story turns out to be correct, the truth is that in a miniseries mostly focused on Joe Exotic and his wild and crazy times as an animal caretaker/bon vivant actually took an entire episode to discuss the story of Carole Baskin and her ex-husband’s disappearance.
