Raised by Wolves

I love this show. It ticks all the boxes for a profound TV program. Perhaps it is even a little ahead of its time. We are not currently on a cycle where AI and androids are seen as benevolent. Rather we are still living under the age of the Terminator and fear of the unknown digital future. Not to say that there are no anti-robot elements to this show, on the contrary, half the show is about believers who shun androids.

The ideas presented are well thought out and very forward thinking. It asks the right questions and has the right amount of science to keep the disbelief adequately suspended. Ridley Scott has always been a master in this regard and this show is no exception.

I would love to give this show a 9 or even 10. I could see myself doing so with closure. But as it stands I cannot give such a high rating to an incomplete product no matter how good the existing material. A true shame.

Raised by Wolves has interesting plot. Second season has good story but lot of stuff left for next season in the last episode. Now we are told that the show has been cancelled.

The show runners have no respect for the audience who watch a season, wait for 1-2 years for next season and when they are really into the plot someone pulls off the plug. It is really awkward and unworthy for a network.

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.

Season 1 (4 out of 5 stars).

Good series. It is weird, beautiful, and well sharp direction that keeps it interesting. The plot is good. It dives into science and religious themes. Especially when characters go over faith territory. Great cast ensemble. The music score is good. Cinematography and set locations are impressive. Kind of reminds me of Prometheus. It does have some slow moments. But very good with the story moving.

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.
