5 best Netflix documentaries to watch after Tiger King season 2

Tiger King 2 hit Netflix in November 2021, and viewers are ready for it! The first season came at a time when viewers needed something to distract them from the pandemic lockdown. Tiger King was there to fill that void. The second season will pick up where season one left off.

Tiger King is like a train wreck; you literally can’t take your eyes off of it. It is over the top, but then you remember it is based on facts; it draws you further in so you can find out what could possibly happen next.

The second season only has five episodes, so what are you supposed to watch next? Most likely something to cleanse your eyes and ears from what you were exposed to in Tiger King 2.
