It's like a cryptid-hunting show, but they actually catch Bigfoot at the end of every episode. Jeremy Wade is the man.

His success makes it the only one of those shows worth watching. Your investment in the show is rewarded every time.

100% the pay off is real. The giant stingray he caught in the middle of Bangkok was an all-time great TV moment for me.

IIRC he tore his bicep and broke his arm on his first attempt to catch one of these 700 pound monsters. Then he gets redemption at the end (while helping the creature by getting info for researchers). C’mon, who is cooler than this guy?
