Raised by wolves The war between atheists and believers takes place in the distant future where the earth was consumed. This is a prototype that is very interesting, you can almost feel it happening on your bookshelf to judge your taste. Fortunately, this is kind of off the point – at least for a while. The dazzling new science fiction series is, first and foremost, about being raised by a robot mom, who may or may not want to secretly kill you. And Still, It manages to be not so excited to see yet.
HBO Max’s latest show pulls out all the stops. A stylized, expensive look series with the first two episodes directed by none other than Ridley Scott, Raised by wolves It’s hard to ignore. It’s a big, big show, and it’s about filling the void left West World Or Game of Thrones, While brain-still thrilling gives the impression that there is more money than any blockbuster movie. However, each of those shows is in a very bad state, Raised by wolves It quickly descends into incomprehensible nonsense because it forgets the real characters.
The mission begins with a refreshing little: two androids, the mother (Amanda Colin) and the father (Abu Bakr Saleem), are sent to an uninhabited planet with the intention of raising six children from the womb to adults. This proves to be difficult in the hostile terrain of this strange planet, as problems quickly begin to arise, such as the onslaught of monsters like the plundering sphere or the army of religious activists who want to rescue children from their Android caregivers.
As it moves from one scene to the next, Raised by wolves Slowly expanding its scope: Mother and father were sent by atheists to raise children without religious tyranny after a war that destroyed the earth. Fortunately, this war is not shouted by angry men God is not real! And angry men scream Yes he is! This is a battle with weird androids and people who secretly change face to go The MatrixLike the virtual world. Yes, while it’s a tumultuous show, it’s one that touches on every aspect of the popular science fiction film – which makes sense since Ridley Scott created most of them.
The series was written and written by Aaron Kuzikovsky (probably the most widely known author behind the Denise Villeneuve thriller). Prisoners), Which quickly connects itself with many Scott symbols: barren alien landscapes, a ruined earth, androids feel like people, blurred vision of humanity. Because of this, it also makes sense of discourse: a science fiction project wants to show itself boldly, but is often interested in very tedious ideas. As the title suggests, nurturing against nature is a thematic interest, but religion, science, consciousness, identity and artificial life. Everything is gestured only in the first three episodes, although at first nothing bad came out, the show feels like a relief in an era where story scraps are often extended in many episodes.
If so, these ideas collide in ways that make up TV, and it pays to think about it because it’s beautiful to watch. The scene is colorless, wonderfully composed and endlessly restless: crops grown in scrolls, ponyards representing aliens such as massive dinosaurs, and artificial limbs and metal-skinned androids emit a howl capable of provoking humans like a balloon. The shows are confusing and effective. Amanda Colin’s return as a mother is very good, going on a strange path between mechanical and feral.
It is also possible that these are not just ideas and stories. In all three chapters, I know very little about atheists and the religion that opposes them, or the uniqueness of their faith. Until I do, I will always be tempted to make fun of them with a kind of humor reminiscent of 2007 Richard Dawkins. This goes for any of its characters: they are all things, even interesting things, but I can not ‘tell you specifically what it is.
Most television needs time: to find its footing, to come up with great ideas, to gel its actors and connect with the audience. Raised by wolves There are possibilities to spend that time well. But without strong hooks, it is paradoxical to ask that there should be a little hope.
