River Monsters.
Just how good is this show on the Animal Planet? It’s simply tremendous. The writing is in incredible, the locations breath taking and most importantly the perfect mixture of reality and fantasy wrapped in a packaging that connects on all facets from a production standpoint. Don’t wait for Lost. This reality gem takes you on a trembling hunt for creatures (not animals) that has only existed via folklore, wise tails and second hand accounts. In today’s episode, extreme angler angler Jeremy Wade searches for The Goonch, a man-eating species of catfish nestled in the chilly rivers of the Himalayas. And throughout its run, the music and editing is as chilling as the first person confessionals delivered by Wade. The Animal Planet has itself a winner.
