The plot is about our modern world where people from the past history appears. A modern day police and an newly educated police from the Viking era are our heroes.
As a Swede I salute our neigbour country Norway for it's amazing output of quality movies and series. I could only dream of our country producing anything close to masterpieces like Dead Snow, Troll Hunter, Norsemen and now Beforeigners.
Beforeigners is not perfect, but how could something original ever be? Satire revolving around political correctness and cultural conflicts, amazing acting, original script, photography and environments are superb, the music is fantastic, and the characters are truly engaging.

Mankind has destroyed the earth in religious wars. Some children are raised by androids on a foreign planet, as a way to save mankind. Others are soon following on their "ark". Conflicts and struggle with the not very hospitable environment makes this into a tragedy.
This is the sci-fi series we have been missing. The atmosphere is near perfect desolate and barren. The environments feel truly foreign. The androids and other tech is fantastic and not the usual unlikely movie constructs. Acting and characters are for the most part really good. The religious and fanatics aspects are very engaging. This is an epic sci-fi saga about a dying struggling human race.
As many have already commented on other reviews, Raised by Wolves takes a turn after a couple of episodes. The idea behind the plot is not bad, but the execution is poor. The mystery force that effects peoples behaviour is never explained, it makes some actions of the characters feel irritional and random. Sometimes we get a bad Twin Peaks/Lost mystery vibe - mystery for the sake of mystery. I really hope season 2 gives us a clever reason for the mystery force.
A last note: It is hard to imagine a worse title than "Raised by Wolves". I was totally dismissing the series based on the title.

Very seldom I watch Japanese movies. I gave this a shot, never heard of any actors or director and didn't know about the manga. It was a pleasant surprise. Very engaging characters, odd stories, very sweet fun humor.
The story is a about an mythical assasin "The Fable" - his real name Sato. He is taking a sabbatical year in another town together with his companion Yoko. He is struggling to live a normal life, but of course other criminals and assasins cannot leave him alone.
The pace of the movie is perfect. The story is bound in the everyday life they are trying to live. This gives them so much more character and depth than a typical action movie. The action is also very well done with some nice unique moments, and it is always mixed with their personal traits and interactions.
This is a light movie in many ways, both visually with much of the shots done during daytime, when it comes to the motives and actions of the warm hearted characters and with some very sweet humor. I strongly recommend it.
