Tiger King is everywhere. Seemingly everyone has watched the Netflix true crime docuseries, officially titled Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness, while they’re cooped up inside and practicing social distancing or self-quarantining — or sheltering in place, depending on varying statewide orders — during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Well, Georgia football coach Kirby Smart was among the many people looking for an entertaining show, but he’s decidedly not a fan of Tiger King, which is famously outrageous, compelling and appalling and centered around a guy named Joe Exotic.
Smart said during a media conference call Tuesday that he started the seven-episode documentary, but he just couldn’t make it through the first two. As he explained:
“I was like dying for shows to watch while I was doing self-quarantine, and I got through two episodes, I just couldn’t do it, man. I couldn’t stomach it. And everybody continues to talk about it, but my patience wears thin. I’m looking for a little more plot, a little more — I don’t know what the right word is. But that’s not my cup of tea. I’ll just say that. I’m more of “Ozark” guy.”

Smart said he prefers another Netflix show, which recently released its third season. And that’s fair because Tiger King isn’t for everyone — even if everyone can’t stop talking about it.
