Hazan Audel, a Bradley Cooper dead ringer, is the Primal Survivor. He takes up the 'Crocodile Hunter' crown to new levels. In its second season, it airs on Sundays. Audel not only handles lethally poisonous animals like his late, great predecessor, but also interacts with natives to adopt their primal ways. There is some nudity due to the aborigine cultures that embrace him.
Kudos for Nat Geo in finding a way to return to its roots of studying native societies and entertaining us along the way. We are reminded again of our roots when we were also just living to survive.
Hazan does just that. He becomes one of the natives. Hazan dons loincloths and even walks barefoot to completely immerse himself in the native experience. He builds shelters, drinks from palm trees, hunts for eels in boa infested banks, and climbs trees to gather fruit. Audel also goes on lone quests just like the villagers would do like herding cattle, by himself, across hyena territory in an African desert.
Hazan places himself at the full brunt of nature for our viewing pleasure, which killed Steve Irwin. Besides facing off predators, Hazan Audel is living and exploring in all the natural biomes. He even got caught in quicksand.
I miss the exploits of the Crocodile Hunter, and I hope Audel has learned to curb such audacity. I give this a TOUCHDOWN for going a mile futher by giving us a fuller understanding of our human evolution. The camera crew also has great camera angles, leaving you with an existential experience.
