      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 spoiler

      androids 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.

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