The Wild Ones

I cannot express this stronger - please watch this show!

First, it is masterful in the beauty of the places they go. The nature, the people they met, the animals they capture on film - gorgeous!

Then you an honored to spend your time with the people, both in front of and behind the camera, who are dedicated to kindness. Kindness towards others, kindness towards each other, and kindness toward the animals they worked so hard to help.

This series is masterful in showing us we all have to be better. And we need to be better stewards to those we are responsible for.

Thank you very much. And yes, I hope there is more to come!

I'm not generally a fan of nature series, but The Wild Ones is decidedly different from what I'd normally expect to see. For that reason, it's absolutely must-watch television.

The six episodes highlight six very specific endangered species, some of which have never or rarely been seen by human eyes. The three featured guys aren't professional researchers; they're experts in logistics and photography, so they're down-to-earth and generally in awe of the creatures they're searching for and the terrain they call home.

If you're looking to see tons of shots of animals, you'll be very disappointed (except maybe in the last episode), as most of the payoff shots come in the last few minutes. However, if you're up for a series of nearly impossible missions, you'll likely enjoy The Wild Ones as much as I did.

Hopefully, there are more episodes to come in the future. If not, these are a great testament to the tremendous efforts of three men in promoting conservation and animal welfare. Rating: 9.5.

Some amazing insights into some unbelievable habitats. This series shines a light on the challenge facing some of the rarest animals on the planet, without the stuffy feel that you sometimes get with traditional wildlife documentaries.

Some hard hitting images of real world conservation challenges that really highlights the need to protect these habitats from poaching and fragmentation.

The cast seem to have a genuine camaraderie and piss taking spirit that makes this a really fun show to watch. A great mix of characters that I haven't seen in other similar shows before.

Hopefully this is the start of a new branch of wildlife media! Very much recommend!

This is a really interesting approach to conservation and wildlife film making. Accessible to the hard core wildlife lovers and those who enjoy narrative and drama driven television as well.

It is sensitive, funny, playful and serious all at the same time. The camera work is exceptional. The chemistry between the three presenters is tangible.

This could really develop a whole new audience for conservation and make a real difference in the world. For those who find traditional wildlife shows a bit repetitive this is a perfect anecdote. Scientific, informational while still being a lot of fun!

Highly recommend to all.

It's refreshing to see passionate individuals pursuing what they love while making a real impact. Not only is it inspiring, with moments of humour that make it all the more engaging. This could very well represent the future of wildlife programming? Authentic and deeply human. Declan is hilarious :)
