'Kingdom of the White Wolf' is a gem of a series. When it comes to anything documentary-related about wolves, it doesn't get much better or more comprehensive than 'Kingdom of the White Wolf'. Proof that wolves should be shown on screen a good deal more than they are and that there should be more documentaries available based solely around them. Also loved its different approach, seeing it from the point of view and journey of Ronan Donovan as well as the wolves.
After such a wonderful first episode in "The Search", which did so well in setting the series up, "The Wolf Queen" sure doesn't disappoint. It is every bit as wonderful and actually even better, due to being more eventful and being more expansive. Detailing a new pack of wolves, it does perfectly what follow up episodes ought to. Which is build upon and expand what was seen before and introduce more content, which is every bit as interesting and investable here as it was before.
Expectedly, "The Wolf Queen" looks wonderful. It is beautifully shot and enhances the truly enchanting but also unforgiving scenery. The wolves are a mix of majestic, adorable, caring and intelligent and it was easy to invest in what they have to go through good and bad.
The information is very entertaining but is also very educational, despite wolves being familiar animals there is a lot that is illuminating, and emotionally investable. Delivered with sincerity and enthusiasm by Donovan himself, whose personal journey is as interesting and investable as that of the wolves. The footage is educational and very sweet without being sickly or too sentimental, it also doesn't hold back when needed yet doesn't go over the top on that either.
Overall, spot on second episode. 10/10.
