Raised by Wolves (2020–2022)
10/10
Holy Cow this is Hardcore Sci Fi!!!
19 January 2021
This is the Sci Fi that is so rare and we need much much more of. It's totally unpredictable, fantastical, and bizarre but not in an ambiguous artsy interpretive manner. Like Dune, Everything here is logical and grounded but its so far out of this world that it really embraces it's Alien setting. You can't predict the end of a single episode, much less the overall story arc here. It takes your imagination and runs wild with it, constantly surprising with more mysterious depth. I was blown away by this first season. Too often I feel I've seen everything but this changed everything. Game of Thrones also did it for me in finally doing so much more with fantasy than I've ever seen or read before. Raised By Wolves does this with Sci Fi and even more so. Not as huge or branching in scope, but more so in opening up new ideas and yet keeping you wondering about Every little thing because it really is all so weirdly Alien. Please make more Sci Fi like this. Esp Sci Fi Horror. It's such an under-utilized Genre, virtually untouched. This series opens that door to Sooo many possibilities and shows how endless those possibilities still have the potential for in Science Fiction. This series is a very rare 10 for me.
