These shows, like the Internet, can be a double edged sword.
When I was researching countries/outfitters for my frst safari I watched a couple of episodes of Dangerous Game when Zayne van der Merwe was the PH. Watching the show did not convince me to use ACST and Zayne but it started my due diligence of ACST. Reading the forums, hunting reports, and going to SCI to meet Adam and Zayne convinced me to book. I do not rely to much on references given by the outfitter or agent. It is not like they will give a contact that had a bad hunt.
On the other side there are several shows after watching them I would never hunt with the outfitter or PH. The essence of hunting is difficult to capture on film however the demeanor of the PHs, the backlapping and high 5s, some of the ethics, and even legalities are questionable.
