Raised by Wolves (2020–2022)
8/10
Where Prometheus should have led to
27 October 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Captivating addition to the whole Alien/Prometheus universe extension. It's weird, biological, technological, sci-fi/fantasy that makes the same method of using mythological/biblical references as Prometheus/Covenant did, but here at least the finished product is even watchable, and greatly executed (not like Covenant).

It operates with really provocative themes where, unfortunately, we the audience aren't really in dilemma as to which side we should pick as the "winner" of the argument, which is kinda unfortunate, but I'm hoping the series will lead to conclusions where both sides can be considered right and wrong, as currently it really leans to one side, massively. I despise propagandas, when stories are one sided and blaming everything onto the opposing group in an argument, and Raised by Wolves sometimes feels like it works with similar tools as propagandas, however it is too soon to come up with any conclusion about this as the second season will only be in development months later. Stories like these should be in balance, told in a way where the golden middle road is the most ideal path to choose, where there is no 100% right and 100% wrong. Overall Raised by Wolves handles it just well, yet, but it's up to the future episodes/series what opinion it really conveys in this topic, and I'm hoping for the best, potential middle solutions.

Soundtrack also has many similarities to the Prometheus' one, and it's just a great music to listen to during such weird visual presentation.

Overall it's a highly original piece to see among all those unimaginative trash series spreading all over the place, all over Netflix, HBO and other channels. Most Unique experience you will get nowadays, so I can recommend to anyone who wants to see a great show.
