At this point \u2014 months after a Netflix follow-up to \u201cTiger King,\u201d podcasts such as the one this series is based on (Wondery\u2019s \u201cOver My Dead Body\u201d), and countless memes and late-night jokes later \u2014 anything purporting to shed more light on this particular saga has a high bar to clear in order to be anything less than repetitive. In this respect, \u201cJoe vs. Carole,\u201d despite some decent performances and effective directing from Justin Tipping, rarely justifies its existence.<\/p>\n<p>As the title suggests, Etan Frankel\u2019s \u201cJoe vs. Carole\u201d focuses almost entirely on the rivalry between Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin, though with occasional flashbacks to each of their backstories to further contextualize their extreme actions. The trouble with that structure is that with Joe Exotic in Oklahoma and Carole Baskin in Florida, the \u201cJoe vs. Carole\u201d fight keeps each physically separated from the other in almost every meaningful sense. Throw in the fact that one actor is a perfect fit for his character while the other seems wildly miscast, and \u201cJoe vs. Carole\u201d ends up feeling like two different shows sandwiched together.<\/p>\n<p>The show about Baskin stars \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d stalwart (and \u201cJoe vs. Carole\u201d executive producer) Kate McKinnon in a workplace comedy about a kooky woman married to a mild-mannered man (Kyle MacLachlan, because why not) on a mission to save big cats all across the country. In the episodes containing her pink-tinged flashbacks, Carole\u2019s fraught past with abusive husbands and as a struggling single mom come to light, though still with the singular comedic timing that defines McKinnon\u2019s performance in the present day timeline, too. If you don\u2019t know anything about the real Carole Baskin, the casting of 38 year-old McKinnon might not im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely rankle as much as if you realize that she\u2019s meant to be playing a fiftysomething mom. Either way, though, McKinnon never quite manages to sell any tone other than \u201coffbeat\u201d \u2014 which becomes more of an issue as the show does its best to straddle several tones at once.<\/p>\n<p>The other show that is within \u201cJoe vs. Carole\u201d stars Mitchell as Joe Exotic, the theatrical \u201cTiger King\u201d himself, as he struggles to keep his grip on his zoo empire despite Carole\u2019s best efforts to shut him down. Mitchell, a uniquely sharp actor with a talent for portraying uniquely compelling queer men, proves perfect casting within seconds of taking the screen. (He also gets a boost from Sam Keeley\u2019s nuanced performance as Joe\u2019s erstwhile obsession John Finlay, which becomes even sharper in retrospect once Nat Wolff\u2019s relatively simple Travis enters both the picture and their bed.) In lesser hands, the role of Joe Exotic could have been a blunt, cartoon disaster. In Mitchell\u2019s, it has just much allure and menace as the requisite bombast, making it clearer why this man decided that being the star of his own show wasn\u2019t just fun, but a defiant act.<\/p>\n<p>Whether playing Joe blossoming into himself in flashbacks (awash in blue, to further differentiate them from Carole\u2019s), Joe as the unlikely Pied Piper of the \u201cunwanted animals\u201d both in cages and in zookeeper uniforms, or Joe as the manic showman the world got to know in \u201cTiger King,\u201d Mitchell is commanding enough to make his half of the series worth the while. Even if \u201cJoe vs. Carole\u201d doesn\u2019t have much new to say about Joe, Carole, or why the two of them tangled to such catastrophic ends, Mitchell does so much to flesh out his role that you can almost \u2014 <em>almost\u00a0<\/em>\u2014 forget the incredible overexposure that\u2019s otherwise made its origin story so rancid.<\/p>\n<p><em>All eight episodes of \u201cJoe vs. Carole\u201d drop Thursday, March 3 on Peacock.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
