    HBO Max Raised by Wolves (HBO Max / CTV Space / Crave)

    My take on the Mithraic/atheist duality is less that it's about "religion" and more that it's about two "sides". The show is called "Raised by Wolves" which is a clear reference to Romulus and Remus. The twins were suckled by a "she wolf". That's Mother. In one scene this season she literally...

    HBO Max Raised by Wolves (HBO Max / CTV Space / Crave)

    Well the good news is (and this isn't a spoiler) is that the first episode of season 2 is so crazy different you'll wonder if you suffered a head trauma and forgot everything from season 1 :) I honestly thought I had started with season 2 episode 2. I suggest you just dive in. If you think you...

    HBO Max Raised by Wolves (HBO Max / CTV Space / Crave)

    Raised by Wolves is back for its second season. Given the "popularity" of the show on the forum I'm just bumping the thread rather than make a new one. Three episodes in and there have been a lot of interesting developments. I'm wondering if humanity is bouncing between Earth and Kepler 22b...

    HBO Max Raised by Wolves (HBO Max / CTV Space / Crave)

    I agree completely with Jeff's comment. The back few episodes were moving away from the curious blend of retro and avant-garde sci-fi, toward relative mediocrity (even the visuals were taking a hit). The final episode blew it all open nicely and drew the show back into its sweet spot.

    HBO Max Raised by Wolves (HBO Max / CTV Space / Crave)

    I really liked the first season. Not many shows do precisely what they set out to do, and do it well. I think Raised By Wolves does. I will say that the directing quality trends downward somewhat the further Ridley Scott's involvement fades into the rear view. But the show is intriguing and...

    Nope. The show was renewed for a second season before the first season ended.

    HBO Max Raised by Wolves (HBO Max / CTV Space / Crave)

    In terms of sunk costs, and without spoilers for either Raised by Wolves or Dark, here is what I think you will need to "invest" to see if these shows are for you: Raised by Wolves: the "this is for me" moment comes about 15 minutes before the end of the first episode. Dark: while I was a fan...

    I feel a lot of forum members may be missing out on this (as they likely did for "Dark", which remains one of the best pieces of television ever). Anyone else watching?

    HBO Max Raised by Wolves (HBO Max / CTV Space / Crave)

    This is the new "hard" (some would say retro/vintage) sci-fi series created and written by Aaron Guzikowsi (Prisoners) and produced by Ridley Scott. Scott also directed the first two episodes before handing the job off to his son, Luke (who directed the Blade Runner 2049 Shorts). The score is...
