If you’re looking for some relief from Fourth of July noisiness and cheerful celebration, you can’t do better than watch the premiere of The Hunt, BBC America’s hypnotizingly exciting new nature documentary series. Sunday’s opening episode examines predators and prey in Africa, as leopards leap and strain to catch swiftly prancing impala antelopes, orca killer whales sink their razor teeth into the juicy, innocent bodies of baby humpback whales, and a chameleon with “a tongue longer than its body” laps up insects with a moist, deadly snap! There are scenes of a pack of wild dogs stalking and chasing a wildebeest with such blood-lusting ferocity that it simultaneously reminds you of and—almost impossibly–nearly exceeds the relentless pursuit of Hillary Clinton by Rep. Trey Gowdy’s Benghazi committee.
