It’s called Raised By Wolves. It was on HBO Max before Zaslov took over. He scrapped it completely and pulled it off the platform. I think it’s on one of those free ad-supported channels now.

The show is produced by Ridley Scott and his production company Scott Free Productions .

It’s quite hard to describe. At its core, it’s a sci-fi series focused on a couple of androids who are sent to raise human kids on another planet when Earth is destroyed by a religious war.

Beyond that, it’s like someone took LSD before writing the weirdest sci-fi shit they could think of. I mean like:

Tap for spoilerandroids giving birth to flying snakes, acid aliens storing babies in their chest cavity, and people turning into trees

I don’t even know how to describe it without spoilers because it’s so wild. I absolutely loved it.

As someone who did watch it on acid, fully agreed. I had to rewatch it sober because I thought the whole show had been a fever dream. It was even trippier sober.

Okay I think I might have watched the first episode or I watch at least the preview for it and it was one of those shows that I wanted to watch but I've got so many that it just hasn't gone to that point yet. Guess I'm going to have to dig that out here soon.

I had watched the first half of the first episode and then got called away for something and didnt go back until about a year later when people recommended it. I restarted the episode and almost stopped again but then the ending just went off the rails and I got much more interested

Do give it a watch but don’t rush. They cancelled the show before ending it so it’s very unsatisfying.
