This show feels just like Jack's mentor Steve Irwin in his hay day. Jack's enthusiasm and energy are so infectious. What a wonderful ambassador! Can't wait to see more from him

Adolescent & disrespectful

I couldn't make it through the first episode due to the immature and disrespectful way he was catching and handling the animals. Shredding a pregnant snake's burrow where she was going to lay her eggs? Yelling, "Be quiet because she can hear you" while stomping around and hollering... just reckless, obnoxious and inconsiderate of the animals. Turned it off.
So much fun for the whole Family!

Terrible show! Disrespect towards Australian animals.
emma-olafsen2 December 2021
This guy is so disrespectful to Australia's beautiful animals. He shouts and scares them, he handles them roughly, he chases them around and he has no consideration for them at all. He is obviously more about the drama and the ratings than about care and wonder of the animals. I don't believe Steve Irwin trained him, Steve never acted this way towards animals. Don't watch this awful show and give this "zoologist" any attention.
Terrible

My first review ever.
This series is shot like an action movie, with more focus on stunts than the animals. Imagine the total oppesite of Attenborough, he has NO consideration for the animals at all. The dude straight up caught a gekko so that it lost its tail (granted, it will grow back, but with considerable damage to its health). You dont have to catch every animal you see, or destroy snake nests and yell in their poor faces. Also they keep showing a 20 year old picture of him and Steve Irwin from when they met once in the zoo. "He wAs mY MeNTor" bro no shot. Calm down and respect the wildlife you are studying.
2 stars because he knows a lot of animal names and I still saw 5 episodes.
Horribly Over Scripted

Close your eyes and imagine some kid with money, who hires a TV crew so he can be on TV like Steve Irwin.
Steve Irwin he is not... This person runs around like a five-year-old child catching a little critters in a mayonnaise jar. The show is unprofessional, and grossly over acted/scripted. In the first episode (pythons) he actually has a python expert with him. But you get the sense that this person wonders why on earth he ever signed on for this. His attempts to emulate the joyousness, and exhuberation of Steve Irwin (who he frequently references, and it's annoying) come across as rehearsed and overdone. With the myriad of wildlife shows, this one won't be hard to pass up.

NOT GOOD

I made an account to write this. From the first 10 minutes something was off about this guy. This entire show is based off this random kids relationship with Steve Irwin, which he uses to give himself credibility. His actions show different. This is not an inspiration for wildlife, or someone who is genuinely passionate about animals.
For example, after being wanting to see some animals I tried the second episode. He finds a Joey and touches it with his hands, and then says all these kind things staring it at it while it's struggling. The mother just died. He had touched it with his bare hands, then held it with cloth like it wasn't a baby. The poor thing was struggling.
The things he does in this show, the way he talk. It's not authentic. He is a cheap knock-off that doesn't truly seem to respect wildlife and animals.

He mistreats and scares the animals

Worst wild life show EVER

The series is complete garbage. Jack Randall is the most annoying, juvenile presenter on the planet. He tries to be another Steve Erwin and fails miserably. The production values and scripting were ladled out of the toilet. Two minutes in I had to stop watching he is that fake. But I went back and cringed all the way through. When someone comes to my country and starts running around acting like a twelve year old chasing the most venomous snakes in the world that were so obviously planted I started hoping he would be tagged by one them. He out right scares the animals he is trying to film. He has no respect for the animals he is trying to film. He runs around as if he were a super hero. In my opinion he is a complete looser.
