Raised by Wolves

... and a fantastic female lead, but the story suffers from the same flaw that has dominated Scott's later work.

The conflict- or in this case: Ongoing battle- between religion and science would maybe work as a heavy handed metaphor, and the shortcomings and unavoidable plotholes would be excuseable. And it's not like he hasn't always utilized some on-the-nose symbolism before, but it remained under the surface. Here it seems to become the center of the story.

And as a storytelling device it doesn't really work for me so far. It might overcome this thanks to the aforementioned qualities, and I'm curious enough to give this a go.

If you are into Sci-Fi this will be best tv show to watch this year. For episode 1 all i can see that it really is a Sci-Fi drama filled with amazing cast, great soundtrack and deep story.

Not to be patronising but it's quite extraordinary to see a legendary filmmaker as old as Ridley Scott (at the age of 83) - who is further in to his career than most other colleagues could ever aspire to last (testament to his adaptability, stamina & resilience) - still flourishing at the helm of exciting projects, finding new, innovative ways of surprising expectant audiences - & with his latest outing "Raised By Wolves", it's clear he intends to remind any doubtful viewers just why he earned the title of a creative visionary, remaining beseated upon the throne he rightfully earned for himself as the master of modern science fiction - producing content that is consistently of the same high calibre; the reason for him being the goliath household name he understandably is today.

From this very first launch episode, the inventiveness & the originality that we've grown to associate with his filmography is still as apparent as ever, never failing to astound; despite having worked in the industry for longer than many have lived, his uniqueness & appeal hasn't faded or diminished & so as a young fan of his, it's incredible to be able to witness the finished products he's lovingly & meticulously created - which showcase him doing what he's always done best; pure, unadulterated sci-fi; contemplative, ponderous, brutal, philosophical spectacles that shock & awe in equal measure. From first impressions, this is no exception. It's a worthy addition to his résumé & I'm delighted to see the fruitfulness of the show - which seems to encapsulate the best of what he's able to do when he's truly in his element.

First episode was so good. Nice story. Actually everything was great . Let's go for next episode .

3.5 out of 5 stars.

Interesting concept. Two androids try to raise children and restart humanity. With some mystery concept of humans extinction from an all out war. Beautiful direction and set pieces. Visual effects. Interesting cast. The script does well in developing the story. There are some weird and cheesy moments. The climax does get a bit of a blood bath.
