TLDR

Weirdly enough, Tom Hardy has never sounded calmer narrating the lives of savage beasts.

What it's about

This five-part series co-produced by Sky and Netflix shows how five predators—namely, the cheetah, polar bear, lion, puma, and wild dog—fight to protect their territories.

The take

If you’re ever in the mood to watch a documentary about the wild, you can look no further than Predators. The thrilling docuseries is divided into 40-minute episodes, each one dedicated to a specific animal and how it thrives in an unforgiving environment. We get crisp close-ups of the creatures hunting and feasting on their prey, with Tom Hardy poetically narrating the events and music thrillingly playing in the background. Though rare, there are times when the footage and sound resemble the license-free stock you can easily get online, but for the most part, the visuals are impressive. Teeth tearing into meat, eyes widening in fear, and sprinting, so many limbs sprinting out into the open field as the beasts chase their next meal. 

What stands out

The animals themselves, of course, as well as their resilience and strength. It’s hard not to be in awe of how these creatures manage to not just survive but thrive in an environment that is degrading every day thanks to climate change. Though this shouldn’t be surprising given these animals are kings of their respective territories, it’s still nice to have a well-made visual guide to confirm why that is.
