Kings of Pain

This show delivers on what it promises and it's so fun and cringey (in a good way). The only thing holding it back a bit for me is some of the banter feels fake. They need to just be more real. It's okay that you're not best friends, that will come with the season. Besides that, I am definitely recommending this show and hope it gets more seasons.

I do not usually write reviews but i had to chime in here, there are haters who are saying that it is fake, no it is not !.

You see a python bite them in slow motion and the after effect, no camera trickery there, caveman has a huge heamotoma that needs draining. You see spines snapping and going into their skin, someone said you see an insects bum pressed against the skin and nothing else but the majority of the time you can see the stinger going in.

There are close up shots when the bug / animal stings or bites so of course you are not seeing their face, you can see the redness on their arm after a sting and the monitor lizard was 100% real.

I dknt know why people are hating so bad but this is a great show for all ages anf shows the real dangers out there.

Thank you for doing what NONE of us reviewers would, fingers crossed for season 2

I'm o my halfway through this series. It's fun. There's animals in this that I didn't know existed, different species of wasps etc. Yeah it might not be original, and maybe a little staged, but it's what you'd expect. I would suggest it's probably not for the squeamish though

This is a fun series that's educational, silly, insanely tense, and even strangely edifying. Definitely ends on a high note. but yeah, I could never recommend this to my family members. There's something really admirable with the way the main actors approach the subject, though. Progress through suffering, and all that.

As for the show being a copy, that Coyote guy (from what I've heard in Youtube comments) plays everything up way more than the guys here do. But you can be the judge of that!

Maybe it's the sadist in me, but I can't help but enjoy this show. For me, it's the simple curiosity of what these animals can do, and it makes me wonder how much pain the more venomous species could cause - the ones that for obvious reasons cannot be tested. I hope there's a season 3, but they appear to be running out of animals. Maybe try some of the pain-causing plants that are about too? Some are probably worse than the animals. My only gripe, and it's a very minor and silly one.... It's that annoying fake fire they sit around discussing the bites/stings.... Light a real one and stop using a gas powered campfire. I look forward to more shows (hopefully).
