Critic Reviews

Linda Stasi

Season 1 Review: Yes, there's a heavy hand in the schmaltz department, what with the dead mother and the wounded beasts and all (Hey! It's Africa after all!) but it's not so heavy that it's annoyingly cloying. At least it worked for me. Read full review

Robert Bianco

Season 1 Review: Life Is Wild, a 7th Heaven replacement that adds African landscapes, wildlife and culture. Read full review

Kristen Baldwin

Season 1 Review: Nothing new here; Wild is exactly what you would expect, in a "7th Heaven Goes to Africa" kind of way. [5 Oct 2007, p.67]

Rob Owen

Season 1 Review: Life Is Wild is a decent but not exceptional family drama set in South Africa. Read full review

Ginia Bellafante

Season 1 Review: Life Is Wild, which is based on a BBC series, simply cannot be given the preapproved seal of inspection for adults, either. Why? Well, there are many reasons, but in no small part because its efforts at exposition are of the kind that would make even a young wildebeest scream: "Rewrite! Rewrite! Rewrite!" Read full review

Brian Lowry

Season 1 Review: Even a hard-hearted critic would find it difficult not to coo at the lion cub that wanders onto the grounds, but the series can deliver only so many Animal Planet moments before leaving auds to grapple with its trite elements and annoying characters. Read full review

Todd R. Ramlow

Season 1 Review: While Life is Wild is structured as a sort of fishes-out-of-water tale, it is more accurately described as a neocolonial masturbatory fantasy. Read full review
