Directors Eric Goode and Rebecca Chaiklin told the story of "Joe Exotic," or Joseph Maldonado-Passage, who kept tigers, lions, and other big cats in Oklahoma.
The docuseries explored a murder-for-hire plot against Carole Baskin, a woman who ran a center called Big Cat Rescue and who had lobbied to close zoos like the one run by Maldonado-Passage.

Baskin was able to finance her battle thanks to the fortune she inherited from her late husband, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances.

In July, a federal appeals court ruled that he should receive a shorter prison sentence.
