I am so happy that both The Boys and Raised By Wolves were not all released at the same time so that people could binge them away. Each program of much watch TV were released three episodes a week. It gives people an opportunity to catch up without having whole seasons spoiled for them the same weekend they are released. The Mandalorian and Watchmen were weekly and that was fantastic. I like having the opportunity to soak in what I just watched before absorbing the next chapter.
Raised by Wolves feels like that kind of show. The trailer should tell you all you need to know. There are some pretty amazing science fiction ideas at work here but none so disturbing to me as Androids raising human children. That always ends poorly for us when the Androids exceed their programing by getting all emotional.
The birth scenes creeped me out as all such scenes always do. Damn tubies. Six tubies were born but only five survived so of course the dead one was immediately to be fed to the other survivors. Until it came back to life and the Androids get all emotional over that. Bad, bad, bad. Emotional Androids tend to do massive damage when provoked.
I feel like all I am waiting for is pain and death when the confrontation, the inevitable confrontation between man and machine occurs.
Soon only two of the children are alive and they are six. We know the Androids are fighting humans who are religious in their hatred of Androids raising human children. It's the source of whatever war destroyed their world.
Soon only one child is left with his two android 'parents' and humans have started orbiting the planet.
The confrontation is coming and when it does it's killer. I hope the show hasn't wasted all it's best parts on the intro and the rest of the season will turn into some long lecture about free will and what happens when you give humans qualities to an android. I'll tell you what happens, it goes bad and it goes bad quickly.
