River Monsters: Season 1 (2009)

Starring: Jeremy Wade

Synopsis:
Zoologist and expert angler Jeremy Wade, searches the globe for fresh water monster fish and attempts to get to the facts behind the folklore and legends of these creatures

My Take:
I've caught this show a time or two and liked it but never really sought out to to watch the whole series. Then after a great little article in Rue Morgue magazine on the show and how it capitalizes on fear of the unknown lurking in the water, I decided to seek out the series. And I'm glad because the captivating.

Favorite Episode:
"Amazon Flesh Eaters" - Mr. Wade once again explores the Amazon River for a catfish with a reputation for eating human flesh.

Rating: So Good
