This twisted Netflix True Crime series now lives in my head with rent-free

If it is one thing that I like to look at Netflix, it is a thinking about stimulating documentary. The streamer is also packed with options. But my preferred Doc aroma has the variety of Tiger King, and I looked for something to bring this wild, twisted energy for some time. The kings of Tupelo: A Southern Crime -saga is exactly what I was looking for. It is a simple binge in just three one -hour consequences, and the story that unfolds here has stayed with me for months.

The director Duo Maclain and Chapman Way, who was awarded Emmy, the brothers behind Netflix's countless documentary series and the exciting cult Doc Wild Wild Country are the creators behind the kings of Tupelo. It is a The-fiction crowd story that Paul Kevin Curtis, an Elvis imitator and pronounced conspiracy theorists, which is at the center of small city trivality, which develops into a terrorist manhunt.

Elvis Presley's legend is great in Tupelo, Mississippi (the birthplace of the king) and informs a lot about who Curtis is. His fascination for Elvis led him to put on a weird body suit and come on the stage to make his best reproduction of Presley. In a city in which Elvis imitators are a dozen a dozen, Curtis made a name for himself. Seriously – he won awards.

Jack Curtis (a man who heads a successful insurance agency) was the success of his brother and tried to do the Elvis thing, which caused the brothers to make twice the difficulties, the first duo review of the world who honored the king.

This is just one of the many quirky details that make the kings of Tupelo a funny watch. As someone who was not familiar with the real story that inspired the series, I did not expect the unpredictable twists to wait for them to turn things on the head. Things quickly go from one WTF moment to another and make this a wild and never boring clock.

I have seen criticism that the series immortalized stereotypes over the south and I can understand this argument. However, it was not my experience to see the series. When someone who has never been in the region, I found the selection of colorful characters in the program (and there are a lot) that the story told.

Regardless of whether it is Steve Holland, the director for funeral home and former politician, who is happily supporting a great boss Hogg Energy or sociopathic martial art teacher James Everett Dutschke, who probably sent up chills.

During the three episodes, Curtis tells his story through the guise of a finished script and gives the whole thing a rash, cinematic quality. The way she tends to this narrative voice as unreliable as sometimes it feels, and Curtis' vision gives full strength. The result is a committed documentary, which sometimes inspired himself by a spacious yarn that he found on Reddit during a deep dive.

Nevertheless, there are many facts that underpin the journey that Curtis absorbs us. Yes, he chose fights with various companies and people in the city. Sure, he really idolizes the self -improvement Guru Tony Robbins. It is a conspiracy theory that, after the other, faces a fallback. As in the time when he accidentally caught fire to his house (he accused government agents), which only intensified his role as the not independent victim.

Curtis is a character full of contradictions. He cannot get out of his own way, unable to learn from his own mistakes or admit that he may have been the one who is to blame. He is also the self-imposed embodiment of a small town outsider with flawless stories.

And that probably makes him so fascinating. They want to hug him in a minute – in the next, they want to hit him in the neck.

The craziness hits a highlight in a flawless further third episode, which drops one incredible bomb after the other. It is a really exciting watch that culminates with an unexpected Pièce de Résistance depreciation that makes the time to be absolutely deserved here.

I used to mention a terrorist attack, and here the series refers to the real genre of crime, and it is also what Curtis has done to the public. I will not reveal all the details, but I will say that the case includes one of Curtis' Tupelo rivalries, an assassination attempt by the President and a bizarre revenge that Curtis almost brought into prison for life.

The kings of Tupelo are really that good. It examines the conspiracy culture and the internet icing chambers that fuel them, and it makes a funny look at the colorful community of Tupelo, Mississippi and the permanent legacy of the King of Rock and Roll.

In addition, the series is a surprisingly committed outsider about a man who cannot keep his mouth or learn from his mistakes, and the criminal conspiracy, which he unknowingly became a victim of strangers as fiction. Add all these elements and it is no wonder that the kings of Tupelo have lived in my head in the past few months.
