Man v. Monster is a British documentary television series broadcast on Nat Geo Wild, which follows adventurer and cinematographer Richard Terry as he travels back in time to faraway jungles and remote islands in search of the truth behind stories of unknown creatures attacking, and killing, humans. In the Amazon rainforest, Terry is on the trail of a huge spider said to be attacking villagers; in southern Mexico, reports of a terrifying creature that attacks locals at night sends Terry into the jungles of Chiapas to investigate; and in the Indonesian archipelago, Terry island hops to expose a giant, blood-thirsty reptile that preys on livestock and humans. He also visits India, Tanzania, and Thailand.
Reception In his review of Man v. Monster, Brad Newsome of The Age wrote, "These monster-hunting shows just keep getting dumber and more disingenuous." He said that it was "essentially impossible" for the presenter to try to find a spider of sufficient size to pluck children out of their beds.
