It feels ready-made fodder for streaming’s “You might like” tier.

The action is horrifying, inventive, and heart-pounding, but it’s also the least surprising part of Predator: Badlands.

In the end, Predator: Badlands is a bizarrely inspirational adventure about different types of beings overcoming the limiting parts of their programming (literal or figurative) and/or proving there is more to them than others assumed. The takeaway is applicable to beings all across the universe: sometimes the things you want most are not worth having, and when you figure that out, you’ll be free.
