What to Watch Thursday: The dramatic series based on ‘Tiger King’ doc is here
Joe vs Carole (Peacock) - This scripted adaptation of the 2019 Wondery podcast “Joe Exotic: Tiger King” centers on the true story of Carole Baskin, a big cat enthusiast, who learns that fellow exotic animal lover Joe “Exotic” Schreibvogel is breeding and using his big cats for profit. She sets out to shut down his venture, inciting a quickly escalating rivalry. But Carole has a checkered past of her own and when the claws come out, Joe will stop at nothing to expose what he sees as her hypocrisy. The results prove dangerous. If you’ve only seen the Netflix “Tiger King” series, you haven’t seen the whole story. And with Kate McKinnon (“Saturday Night Live”) and John Mitchell Cameron in the lead roles, this should be fun. It also stars Kyle MacLachlan, Brian Van Holt, Sam Keeley, Nat Wolff, Marlo Kelly, William Fichtner, Dean Winters and David Wenham. There are eight episodes total.
