Reception

edit

In a mixed review, Common Sense Media's Emily Ashy wrote that the show has "an intense, addictive quality that thrill-seeking viewers may enjoy" but that despite every episode featuring "a suspenseful build-up", "the urgency is quickly deflated" because the host's period of time in the wilderness is limited.[2]

Sunday Mail called Rogue Nature an "edgy nature show" aimed at adult audiences because it includes explicit discussions of violent attacks and unsetting simulations.[3] The Age television critic Brad Newsome said Salmoni "carries on as if practically every shot is the most dangerous in TV history" but that "there's some interesting stuff here".[4]
