Man vs Wild is an excellent show. First of all, Bear Grylls is a fantastic charismatic person. This show is almost too good to be true. The Camera work is excellent, indeed it is at times almost too good. Behind the scenes, a ton of research is completed on the area of challenge and Bear is the beneficiary. He can speak smartly about the area and gives wonderful bits of information that he works into his commentary. All in all, a very good show, very enjoyable, some humor, good bits of information.
