Bienvenue sur l'île des loups

Our family very much enjoyed this documentary. Amazing cinematography and animal close-ups, engaging story lines, and moments of suspense and surprise. The naming of the animals was very helpful when following the complex family dynamics and interactions with the various generations. Don't worry about the "anthropomorphism" mentioned by another reviewer - this technique was pioneered by Jane Goodall, and is now very much accepted by the scientific community (it was shunned back in the 60s because of people wanting to believe in the superiority of humans). As primatologists and neurobiologists have said, animals and humans share behaviors, and giving animals names has helped us understand their unique communities, cultures, and emotions. Very inspiring series to help us appreciate the natural world around us.

I have two very sensitive children (5 & 10) who cannot watch nature docs because they just find them too traumatic. I actually watched the first episode all the way through before showing it to them and I relished watching it again the next night.

They both drank in all three episodes of this and my ten year old continually stopped to say this was the best thing she had EVER watched!

It was so wonderful to see such a beautiful and sensitive portrayal of life in such a stunning part of the world.

Congratulations to all involved. We very much hope that there is more like this to come.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

As a BC resident who's spent countless hours in our lavish nature wonderland, it's nice to see the area getting a bit of a spotlught. The visuals in this 3 part series are outstanding. The 4k (well, as much of 4k as you get get via WiFi Netflix) is great and very sharp. That's the series high point.

No shade to will Arnett, but the dialogue is just awful. These are animals, stop anthropomorphizing them. Stop giving them names and treating them as though they are humans. They are not. It's cringy and completely unnecessary. It would help if the dialogue was also correct. Incorrectly naming both plants and animals is bush league. Storms have not increased in frequency or in stature here in BC. Keep your climate alarmism to yourself, we don't deal in fallacies here, just facts.

All in all its good, even better if you can throw your favorite album on and turn this joke of an audio track off.

Before watching I decided to read the reviews first and based on , so many complaining about the narration of this documentary , I almost declined to watch it! Thank god I decided to give it a try and loved it! We don't always have to be brutally fact driven. Any intelligent person knows that life, especially animal life can be violent and difficult! The narrative was almost Disney like. Giving the animals names made me feel closer and more connected to them! We are now learning a lot more about animal behaviour and we are finding out that they behave and are more like us than we previously thought! In order to just have a cold and basically descriptive narration keeps us distanced from them!

I can only recommend this series especially for children because they learn that there is danger and death in nature but they also see that animals can overcome odds and survive!

The photography is amazing, the closeup shots nothing but superb and the landscape is absolutely beautiful! Makes me feel sorry I didn't move to Vancouver when I had the chance!

Island of the Sea Wolves takes a close look at wildlife on Vancouver Island on the west coast of British Columbia, Canada.

It features intimate close ups and amazing shots of several species of elusive animals within a temperate rainforest coastline.

Mostly focusing on unique 'Sea Wolves' for part of the series, it also dives into the life and death survival of several other species such as bald eagles, sea otters, the rare and endangered Vancouver Island marmot, black bears and more.

Many scenes leave you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen to the animals as they proceed with their lives, with some bringing tragedy and others moments of joy.

All in all, a wonderful documentary with excellent narration by Will Arnett. A must watch for anyone curious about the wildlife in the Pacific north west as well as the unique ways in which they survive on the island.
