Something Bit Me

I don't know exactly what it is but the episodes are really drawn out and if you watch them back to back a lot of the people are attacked by the same animal and you have the same researchers and animal experts in different episodes saying the exact same thing you already heard them say in the other one. The stories could literally be over in five minutes each but they have to drag them out to make an episode and that gets a little repetitive and boring. Maybe just don't binge watch the season. I would have liked to see more video or photos of the real peoples actual injuries.

I love this show. I hope I've learned enough to save my life or someone else's. Out in the wild I'm just as afraid of human contact as an animal. Not having cell phone reception doesn't help. Sometimes I've thought, what don't they do this or that. But until it happens to you, you really don't know what you'd do in any given situation. The show that featured the flying barracuda really gave me pause as I've scuba dived around them with no problem. Now I think I was a very lucky diver. Same with sharks. So this show really is a teaching tool for encounters on land and water. I really hope there's a season 2.

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.

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 am a big fan of survival stories, and this series does them incredibly well. The stories themselves are incredible, and the re-enactments aren't distracting or terrible. Each story is a great reminder to respect the wild and you always need to be aware of your surroundings and take necessary precautions for wildlife when in their habitats. Some of the stories are from the same animals, but that's to be expected and they are still unique. The first episode is pretty entertaining but the second episode with the polar bear story really pulls you in and you are hooked by the end of it. This is a really great show.
