Raised by Wolves

Watched a few episodes on Netflix. It started interesting.

But the storyline is developing some elements that I find unpalatable.

I think I'll stop now unless you guys have watched and think it's worth seeing to the end.

I watched it the whole series on HBO Max and while it was somewhat interesting, the last episode or two was just too much WTF.

Interesting concept and seems well done. Lots of WTF in the last episode. I'll be keeping an eye out for another season to get some explanation.

Watched a other episode. Still undecided. The kids are annoying. What part of survival do they not understand? Also, not sure I appreciate the religious as villains although these characters seem corrupt and morally deficient. And this is before the wtf episodes.

Hated it.

Same with my wife and me.

Sums it up for me. I enjoyed it overall.

There was a bit of discussion here a few months ago: https://sigforum.com/eve/forum...0601935/m/9690031474

My thoughts from the other thread were: "The premise/worldbuilding is great, and the visuals are pretty cool, but the plot kinda went off the rails towards the end of the season. In the end, I was a little disappointed with its execution vs. its potential. But it's still fairly interesting, and worth watching if you like sci-fi."

It started off so interesting, and had some really great ideas. I don't even care that the premise was the "religious people" were the bad guys or whatever, but it just got to ham-fisted with making them so dogmatic. I guess if it follows a book, that's fine whatever. It just didn't translate well to video, IMO.

Making the good guys religious in nature about their atheism, and also the science heroes, always feels so flat and silly.
