Raised by Wolves is such an underrated sci-fi show. I don't think HBO Max did a good enough job promoting it because not enough people have seen this. It's about the world being torn apart by humans because of religious belief differences. Two androids are then tasked with taking and raising human children on a mysterious unknown planet. It just got canceled with a bunch of other shows because of the HBO/Discovery merger and also how expensive the show is to make so it's only two seasons long, but those two seasons are pretty damn good though. If you're a fan of sci-fi then give this show a chance. You won't be disappointed.
I love sci fi. I love aliens. I love ridley. And I love anti religion series that make you think. It started so well but by the end I was left confused where it was going. And then the finale. Man, I had to look at reviews to understand what the hell happened. The androids are great - really stole the show. The kids less so. Travis is just Ragnar in space. Such a shame that the ahow started so well and ended in a mess.
I really wasn't sure where this series was heading after season 1, so I started season 2 with some trepidation. However, the weirdness and complexities in the storyline really have me hooked. It's been so fun digesting it with other fans. I'm going to watch it all again to pick up on the hidden messages that I've missed along the way. I really hope it gets renewed for season 3 and beyond.
Definitely one of the best SF TV series ever made but certainly not for everyone. Weird story line, great acting, bizarre physical environment, some really terrifying moments. Also it's great to see religion treated as an important plot point in such a creative fashion. So many unanswered questions! What is apparent in every episode is the creativity displayed in even minor physical details. Normally one would see a story like this is a long SF novel which the reader would be justified in asking, "How the heck would they ever fim this while retainaing the main ideas?" Yet, here it is. I doubt that anyone else will pick this production up given the state of the world economies and hate that the cancellation will be viewed as a warning to others not to press the envelope too hard.
As many have already noted Esp. 1 to 4 are some of highest quality TV show I had ever seen. They set the bar so high. I had bought into the dystopia premise, I was engaged and engrossed by the bleak narrative set out by the first 3 episodes and invested in the both sets of protagonist's and what they would do next.
However from Esp. 5 all of those threads unraveled . I like challenging thought provoking sci -fi however It genuinely felt like the last few episodes hadn't been storyboarded. ( which I'm sure they where ) It was as if the director / screen writer didn't even considered " Are we taking the audience along with us" ?
After all that, I still recommend watching it.
