Os Lobos da Ilha de Vancouver

I really enjoyed everything about this documentary, including the narration. You might have an issue with this documentary if you think only humans can lead complex lives. But if this is your viewpoint maybe you shouldn't bother watching a show about such primitive creatures. I never realized there are people who seem to be upset at the concept that animals other than humans can have feelings and emotions.

As for the reviewer who claims the discussion in this documentary about the effects of climate change is nonsense - I live on Vancouver Island, currently we are experiencing a record setting drought. Last summer it was a heat dome.

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.

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.

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.

The camera work is well done and pulls the viewer in. The writing and narration is irritating, treating the animals like they are cute little human characters, cartoon-like, ugh. It's called anthropomorphizing, and it's tedious and juvenile. Too bad, really. This series could have been amazing. Structuring the series into 3 parts for 3 seasons works, though one wonders why the 4th season (winter) was not done. In the end, the series is worth watching for the visuals. There is some helpful information in the narration if you can stomach the disrespectful treatment of the animals in the writing.
