Netflix fans have hailed new ‘absolutely wild’ crime documentary as the closest thing to Tiger King.
Last Stop Larrimah, released on Netflix on Friday, is an Australian-based American crime documentary film by Thomas Tancred.
It follows the 2017 disappearance of a resident in real-life town Larrimah, located in Northern Territory, Australia.
With the population of the town being just 47 at the time, Paddy Moriarty’s disappearance meant that every other resident became a suspect.
The documentary was originally released on max.com, by HBO, on 20th October.

Despite Last Stop Larrimah’s dark subject matter, the documentary which follows eleven residents-turned-suspects has funny moments.
One fan wrote: ‘Last Stop Larrimah on Netflix is amazing – most gonzo tale since Tiger King. It’s also the best advertisement for using sunscreen I’ve ever seen.’
In reply to another user one wrote: ‘Honest to god it’s a murder documentary on Netflix called Last Stop Larrimah but it’s borderline comedy. You gotta watch it.’
Another fan tweeted a clip from the documentary, with the caption: ‘I’m crying with laughter and I’m only near the start #laststoplarrimah this is brilliant #netflixdoc I wanna stay there !’
Praising the personalities in the documentary, a fan said: ‘If you’re after an absolutely wild two-part true crime documentary, Last Stop Larrimah on Netflix is for you.
‘Full of the kind of incredible characters you’d do anything to be able to create in fiction. I’m glad it’s short (too few docs are) but I could’ve watched a dozen more.’

Drawing comparisons with Tiger King, a viewer wrote: ‘#LastStopLarrimah for some reason reminds me of Tiger King. It’s not even about animals, just the same crazy vibes. And Australian.’
One watcher, rather than post an image from the two-part mystery, opted for a photo of James Bond, and captioned it: ‘Last Stop Larrimah looked like a case fit for this guy.’
