If you are like me, then you love watching horror movies about the creatures that reside in the Louisiana swamps. Well tonight at 10p on Discovery, those movies come to life in
Beasts of the Bayou.
Each week, Captain Blimp Cheramie, his first mate, Eric, and his nephew, Nathan, will go looking for the creatures we have only heard about and find out if they really do exist. They will travel the waters of the Bayou looking for them, and even put themselves done in it to find these elusive fish. Will they discover that the Altamaha-ha aka Altie, the Alligator Gar Fish and/or Parlangua are real and not just a work of fiction? While they try to find them, another team of scientists will try to prove the rationale explanation for these mythical creatures.
What these two teams find throughout the season, will make you re-examine those horror movies because there is always truth in fiction. And seeing what the real versions of these beasts look like will make you never want to go for a swim in Louisiana. At least I know I don’t.
That is how impactful this series is. Plus, it helps that unlike most reality shows like this one, Blimp and his men are so much fun to watch. So it’s like you are getting two shows for the price of one. A comedy one and a horror one, and who doesn’t need that on a warm humid summer night?
