Holy shit is this fun! I burned through this in two sittings and I want more and more! This is one WTF entertaining cast of unusual characters. Not one of the people is uninteresting. They're not all wacky. Some of them are ordinary, dull people but only if you compare them to the wildest of the lot but even they are interesting and have loads of amazing stories to tell. None of the top people examined are good people. They've all got a shady past should probably all be in jail. So of all the main people, there's no one to root for and that's perfectly fine for the viewer. It's a shit show of epic proportions. And as despicable as these people are, most of you would probably like to meet them all.
Chaiklin & Goode do an amazing job in telling a story that, after you see it you'll feel like there's so much more to tell that you could have doubled the 5 hour and 17 minute show and still not have told everything. The pacing moves so smoothly and seamlessly that each of the seven 45-minute-ish episodes is over before you know it. And boy, oh boy, do these filmmakers know how to end an episode in such a way that it compels you to continue and double dares you not to. Netflix is dropping an additional episode this week and I can't wait. I've already started listening to a podcast called The Tiger King and it's fantastic as well. I can't get enough of this saga. This series is fun as hell.
