I’m still upset that this was canceled.

It’s called Raised By Wolves. It was on HBO Max before Zaslov took over. He scrapped it completely and pulled it off the platform. I think it’s on one of those free ad-supported channels now.

The show is produced by Ridley Scott and his production company Scott Free Productions .

It’s quite hard to describe. At its core, it’s a sci-fi series focused on a couple of androids who are sent to raise human kids on another planet when Earth is destroyed by a religious war.

Beyond that, it’s like someone took LSD before writing the weirdest sci-fi shit they could think of. I mean like:

Tap for spoilerandroids giving birth to flying snakes, acid aliens storing babies in their chest cavity, and people turning into trees

I don’t even know how to describe it without spoilers because it’s so wild. I absolutely loved it.

As someone who did watch it on acid, fully agreed. I had to rewatch it sober because I thought the whole show had been a fever dream. It was even trippier sober.

Okay I think I might have watched the first episode or I watch at least the preview for it and it was one of those shows that I wanted to watch but I've got so many that it just hasn't gone to that point yet. Guess I'm going to have to dig that out here soon.

I had watched the first half of the first episode and then got called away for something and didnt go back until about a year later when people recommended it. I restarted the episode and almost stopped again but then the ending just went off the rails and I got much more interested

Do give it a watch but don’t rush. They cancelled the show before ending it so it’s very unsatisfying.

I liked the first 80% of the first season, and stopped watching halfway into S02E01. Is it worth continuing? Do we get any answers? Are they satisfying?

[-] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 5 points 11 months ago

No. The show is cancelled before they wrap up anything.

Personally, I’d still watch it anyway because the show is so goddamn weird you can’t find anything like it anywhere else.

For anyone reading who hasn’t seen it, I would describe it as the most metal (🤘) show I’ve ever seen.

[-] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 2 points 11 months ago

ALright, thanks for the recommendation :) And yeah, "weird" and "metal" are good descriptions. Additionally, the backstory we got in S1 was definitely "fire".

[-] Soku@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Could anyone please name the show? Ppl in the know keep referring to it as the show but could the oblivious ones get into the inner circle as well, please?
