    Good Sci-fi Series!

    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.

    Sci fi series that goes beyond with its theme.

    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.

    Cursed HBO for cancelling the show

    This is the only good show HBO max made and they have cancelled it after 2 seasons.

    Overall a good sci fi to watch which is beyond imagination. Needs to he completed this series.

    7.8/10. This story must be told, a TV network must pick it up

    FIRST SEASON: 7.9/10

    SECOND SEASON : 7,6/10

    For the love of Sol, isn't there a TV network to pick it up ? This story must be told and completed.

    Aaron Guzikowski has a vision. I believe that, if his story wraps up, this tv show will look better, in retrospect. I mean, right now, it seems kinda flawed/confusing/chaotic, there are a few unanswered questions and some events are difficult to comprehend. However, it seems to me that he knows what he is doing. The story is not so vague as it may seems. Many questions were indeed answered by second season's ending. It would be a shame if RAISED BY WOLVES don't get an ending.

    Right now, i don't know if i should recommend it to someone. Any scifi fan will feel frustrated if he spends so many hours and finds out that RBW got cancelled. But this is a very good scifi tv show. There are mysteries to be solved, there are worlds to be discovered. There is vivid imagination, shocking moments, tension, twists and surprises. Well acted too. It's not easy to build such an interesting and bizarre world, sci fi tv shows can become ridiculous if they are not meticulously planned and written.

    I can't rate it higher before i watch the end of this journey, there is always a chance that i overestimate this. I hope to find out soon.

    Still can't believe it's cancelled

    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.
