Something Bit Me

This series is similar to 'I Shouldn't be Alive' series and is just as interesting. Deals with real life stories of peoples near death experiences, but as the title suggests, this time it's solely dealing with interractions with other species on our wildly diverse planet. The reconstructions are well made and the interviews with the unfortunate victims and others involved are informative and often very moving. Many of the stories are also very uplifting and show sides to human nature that are very positive, as well as showing respect for nature and giving great tips on what to do when those interractions don't exactly go to plan.

Something bit me is an engaging show. The stories are quite fascinating and the actors are well casted and perform well. I think the episode "Lord, I'll see you in a minute." is probably my favorite. I'm hoping for a season 2. Always happy to discover a new show on Disney+

I really liked this show. The victims and the experts were realistic in their view of our interaction with nature. They told you what the humans did right and wrong and probably what should've or could've been done differently. They explained why the animal might've acted the way it did. They made sure the audience knew these were special situations and not the normal wildlife behavior. The only real soap box they got on was to "stop feeding the wildlife!" That was a soap box I didn't mind.

This can be an emotional ride sometimes. Being a father who loved being outside with our six kids, I choked up while telling my wife about the father who was also choking up as he watched his daughter being taken out of the Grand Canyon while dangling high in the air by a cable from the rescue helicopter.

I would've liked to see more of the smaller critters that we can sometimes encounter. Spiders, wasps, mosquitos and parasites can also kill and maim.

I can't wait for season two!

You don't want to watch this show unless you are ready for several punches to the gut. It's honestly harrowing at times, more than you might expect. But otherwise I wholeheartedly recommend it.

These are real stories, deeply compelling, retold by the people involved themselves. For the most part they are also re-enacted in parallel to the retellings. The incidents that are retold had a profound impact on the people telling them, both emotionally and physically. No filler here. It's both shocking and inspiring.

I'm a big fan of survival stories so this series really grabbed me. The format is very methodical and works well. There are two stories per episode featuring the actual survivors being interviewed along with a dramatized version of the events played by actors, accompanied by numerous interviews with the scientists who study animal behavior. I always feel grateful after hearing about others' challenges, so every episode lifted my spirits quite a bit. It's surprising that the production staff were able to find so many survivors of animal attacks, and I'm not sure there could be a second season with quite the same impact. It would be a bummer if they had to go with "Something Bit Me And I Died" which is the actual outcome of less positive situations. As I noted, survival stories rock my world.
