Reception
The documentary was well received by critics. Joel Keller of Decider said that the series "does what a lot of nature docuseries should do, which is focus on one geographical area and follow its inhabitants through the different seasons. It makes for a fascinating show".[5]
Greg Wheeler of The Review Geek wrote: "Island of the Sea Wolves is an informative, well-written and enjoyable nature docu-series. Sure, it’s no David Attenborough epic but while Frozen Planet II awes and inspires on BBC, Netflix’s effort isn’t bad either".[2] Jordan Russell Lyon of the site Ready Steady Cut called it a good offering for fans of nature shows.[3]
