Kings of Pain

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

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

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).

For people saying this is useless, they have no idea what they are talking about. What happens if you live in the areas of these creatures and you get bit, at least you know what to expect and if you need to rush yourself to the hospital. Its like the Scoville scale, people eat these chillies so you know what you are buying.

Also doesn't hurt that its funny watching them get bit.. That Beaded Lizard looked stupid painful, I wont spoil it, but you need to watch it.

When my husband turned on the show, I thought... What the? Um NO. This is stupid. These guys are stupid. i am not a fan of reality shows because I think there so overly staged. BUT this show got me. I LOVED IT. My husband was shocked. He and I BOTH love it. Yep they can be viewed as stupid but my first judgement was without giving it a chance. They are documenting this information and informing everyone who watches what the pain index is, reactions, severity, where the 'subject' can be located, etc. Yes, there might be YouTube videos of people doing it. Or a book or 2 out there? But I've never seen it but I've seen this. (And their making money while doing it?! ((Hopefully)) So BRAVO!!!! I'll be looking forward to next season! I'm hooked! (And my husband) ;)
