Kings of Pain is a thrilling series that premiered on History in 2019. The show follows two wildlife experts, Adam Thorn and Rob "Caveman" Alleva, as they travel the world and subject themselves to stings and bites from some of the most dangerous animals on the planet. They are joined by a team of medical professionals led by Dr. Jeffrey Renton, who are on standby in case of emergency.

Each episode features the brave hosts attempting to earn a pain score for each animal they encounter, using a scale of one to ten. The pain scores are determined based on the pain they experience, the duration of the pain, and the lasting effects of the injury. The hosts also provide educational content about the animals they encounter, including their habitat, behavior, and venom potency.

The series takes the hosts on a wild ride across several continents, from the deserts of Arizona to the jungles of Costa Rica. They encounter a wide range of animals, including the Asian giant hornet, the rove beetle, the tarantula hawk wasp, and the bullet ant. Each encounter is more intense than the last, and the hosts push themselves to the limits of pain tolerance in pursuit of the ultimate adrenaline rush.

While the focus of the show is on the pain endured by the hosts, it also highlights the importance of animal conservation. The hosts take great care to emphasize that the animals they encounter are not to be taken lightly, and that they should be respected and protected. They also provide helpful tips for people who might encounter these animals in the wild, such as how to identify them and what to do if they are stung or bitten.

The hosts of Kings of Pain are not only brave, but also incredibly charismatic. Adam Thorn is a former sergeant with the U.S. Marine Corps, and his military training and tough demeanor make him a natural fit for the show. Rob "Caveman" Alleva is a seasoned wildlife expert and survivalist, and his encyclopedic knowledge of animals adds depth to the show's educational content. Jim Pratt, the show's third teammate, is a skilled cameraman who captures all the action in stunning detail.

Overall, Kings of Pain is a fascinating and exciting show that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The combination of adrenaline-pumping stunts, educational content, and charismatic hosts makes for a truly entertaining viewing experience. Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast or just looking for some thrills, Kings of Pain is a must-watch show.
