Raised by Wolves

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.

All I can say about Raised by Wolves is Wow...what an awesome show! It really is one of the better new sci-fi shows to come out in a long time. The acting, writing, directing, cinematography, etc., etc. are all amazing! Ridley Scott is the executive producer with Travis Fimmel as the lead, if that right there doesn't make you want to see this then I don't know what will? I can't wait until Season 2!

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.

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.
