Monsters Inside Me Audience Reviews

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Bryan Tull I've seen every episode and they never disappoint. Each episode shows 3 cases where people barely survived. Sometimes they die. It's interesting and scary at the same time. What this show does better than other shows of this type is pacing. Where other shows will take 42 minutes to show 1 or maybe 2 cases, this fits 3 in. It shows just enough to form a bond with the individual but not enough to get boring. Be warned; after watching this you will be more paranoid about your surroundings.
dhainline1 "Monsters Inside Me" is a really good, yet scary show about real people taken down by parasites. Some have died like the 2 kids who accidentally got a brain eating amoeba or whatnot up their nose. I mention eating salads slowly because one episode had an older man who ended up with breathing problems everyone thought was bronchitis. This problem lasted too long and when the doctor cut him open, there was a green pea spouting inside the guy's lung! Sprouts like dark, moist places like caves and human lungs. After the pea was removed, the guy said he would eat salad and not inhale it. I eat salad and other food carefully now! There was also another episode that had to do with meat. This poor kid was getting stomach problems and his guts were basically acting up on him. When he was operated on, the doctor found a small metal stick or something in his stomach. It was a bristle from the brush the kid's dad used on the grill. The bristle got in the meat the kid ate but he wasn't bitter or mad at his dad. The family invested in a plastic grill brush. I think the show's job is to tell people to be cautious when they go outside because humans share the planet with lower life forms that can hurt us!
moe-moev_v-83-894449 As an avid viewer of Animal Planet, I had seen Monsters Inside Me advertised regularly. I finally got the chance to see an episode. I loved it. The premise of exploring things that can and do happen to everyday people fascinates me. And although some of it was a little frightening, I was intrigued the whole show. The last segment really caught my attention. The story was so heart felt and think the actors did a great job. The man who played Dr Nunn, (Nicholas Thomas) was very convincing and I really could feel the compassion he felt for the patient. Great Job. I will defiantly be watching this show again. Keep up the good work!
Austin Sutton I saw an advertisement/ commercial for this show the other day, and checked it out on my DVR today.I expected there to be several cases of inner-body parasites. In that respect, the show delivered. My problem was that they seemed to make too big of a deal about the cases. So much so, that only 2-3 cases fit into an episode that has a running time of 60 min.In my opinion I think the series does not seem to stress the science, or the way that the parasites work, which is what I was fascinated with.Though it may sound cold, I didn't watch the show so I could see dramatizations of what the family was doing at the time, or how they felt.If you are into Drama, with a gruesome touch, and you don't mind waiting for it, then this show is for you.For me, I didn't like how it wraps you up in a Documentary Drama, then we are introduced to the gross part. I would have liked to see one or the other.Actually, just the one.
