    He's funny and totally down to earth, which makes him an engaging host and guide for the eight-episode series.

    Travel shows have been done and done again, and it's hard to find one that breaks new ground. The most important element is usually not the scenery but the host, and BBC America found a great one in the British actor Dominic Monaghan.

    The moments in which Monaghan interacts with people who don't quite understand him are among the most charming.

    Funny, fearless, down to earth and informative, Monaghan makes a great host and guide and gives us a new respect and appreciation for nature's wild things--from a very safe distance.

    Wild Things is very nicely shot and buoyed throughout by its star's upbeat persona.

    Although the nature documentary elements are the focus, the added color of travel show features as well, as the general feeling of spontaneity (however carefully cultivated) adds a peculiar appeal to the package.

    His boyish enthusiasm around poisonous critters is infectious. [8 Feb 2013, p.69]
