My Favorite TV show to date I mean it makes me not want to go any where with water but keeps it interesting just the same

Nui Wong

Speechless, thrilling, just keeps coming Something is wrong with you if you don't love this stuff, I don't fish myself but this is one of my favorite TV series ever.

Drum Blanket

i thought this was about loch ness? So I get this episode on the legend of loch ness and Douchbag Mctavish decides hes gonna go to Iceland and then to Norway looking for a shark. Such a misleading title as he only spends a total of 20 minutes air time in Scotland looking for the creature. All the rest of the show is his galavanting around in search of some other creature and when he finds it there are no solid answers given. Just a ''ok thanks for watching '' type of ending with no resolve. If I could use this show for toilet paper, I would!

Narda Zielinski

River Monster Jeremy is more than a fisherman. He catches and releases the biggest and intimadating aquatic beast you will ever see. Best of all you go along on his adventures to exotic locations and experience the struggles he encounters when going after the elusive monsters of the deep.

Manny W.

I didn't know they were fish that big?! My favorite show.

JB McBride

River Monsters Full of mystery and excitement, this show keeps you guessing and is a blast to watch! Hope you don't have a busy day cause this is definitely a #BingeWatcher
