15 Best New TV Shows Of 2020 (So Far)

13. Tiger King

Normal People
Netflix

You knew from the second you saw the title of this list that this one was coming.

Second only to Making a Murderer in terms of pop culture impact, Tiger King is the massive Netflix documentary phenomenon which hit screens earlier this year and left viewers shook and searching for answers.

Between Carole Baskin, Joe Exotic, Jeff Lowe, and Doc Antle, the series kept viewers hooked as it rapidly set up new figures in the history of its chaotic, very illegal zoo. In turn, each person the viewer attached their sympathies to was revealed to be a cult leader, spouse murderer, or some form of animal abusing miscreant.

Populated with a cast of creeps and cretins who would leave the Coen Brothers and John Waters shaking their heads in shame, the uniquely American tragedy of Joe Exotic and co. is proof positive of documentary's power to capture reality sadder, stranger, and sicker than fiction.
