Raised by Wolves (TV Series) Virtual Faith (2020) User Reviews

Sci fi concept is beautifully done.

4 out of 5 stars.

Good third episode. The beautiful landscapes. The music score. The visuals. The cast and acting. The script moves further with the kids trying to discover that they are not safe with the androids. While Travis Character and his wife are trying to rescue the kids. Little back story with his character as a youth in military with a futuristic battle. Which was pretty gritty and cool.

Shafted

A better episode great filming and outstanding scenery.

I am sure South Africa appreciated the money that filming the show here brought to their country and hopefully some of it went to those in need.

The CGI is great but I always find that a shame thinking that artists and tradesmen are being done out of work.

The story is stretching out now as it goes in for the long haul.

It's weird seeing Niamh Algar with dark hair but her facial features light up the screen.

It's just a shame there aren't any characters to care about but how can you care for androids?

Not quite as good as the previous episodes. The flashbacks didn't really do it for me because what's the need? We got that Marcus and Sue are impostors from the last episode, so idk what the need is to flesh out that backstory/humanise them more, especially when Paul doesn't really seem to be like much of a focus so far. Humanising them at this point is a bit of a futile endeavour when we know that they're not exactly good people, although I suppose based on how the real parents were before they were replaced, they seem to be doing a better job in that regard. So far I, just not really feeling the flashbacks. The plot was also a bit slower, and I do hope we're done with the constant back and forth of trust relations now between Campion, Father and Mother. It still wasn't a bad episode, and there does admittedly seem like there's a lot of lore to be explored, but I'd prefer that the story stay grounded in the present for the most part

A Complicated Con, Simplified

[theminorityreporter · 18 August 2021]

Mother suddenly blurts out the secret about Tempest's pregnancy to all the kids. She then tells them a story they're not allowed to hear and dramatically demonstrates her propensity to suddenly blow them off with high-powered determination.

In the past leading up to the present future, we see that Paul plays alone obsessively in the simulation and his parents never talk to him again.

Back in the present, the kids sit around coughing and causing severe internal distress with public opinion regarding Tempest's rape.

As the kids progressively develop the same characteristic illness, Campion postulates that Mother is the cause of it in some way. This condition is deemed impossible by Father who assures that Campion never gets the condition because he is special.

There's a prophesy about a special, special, poor little blessed and woeful orphan boy and we flash back to 'Marcus' in his youth as Caleb the special, special, poor little woeful orphan boy 'blessed' with high-powered determination as he fights a girl.

Finding Mother and Father to be inconsistent, unreliable, and poisonous, the kids run away.

It's a joyful event when Father explains to Mother that the pits in the carbos (which they neglected to test for safety) have been causing radiation poisoning in the children and the first batch of kids died slowly because early exposure caused some resistance. Mother goes to recover lost Paul in her own special way, and Father takes off on radioactive fuel to recover the others.

Would you like to hear a joke? How many androids does it take to grow as many children as they can and then progressively kill them by way of perniciously intractable non-discernment and consummate (un)natural proclivities? One or more.

ok

So after 10 years of hibernating physically but being active mentally, they now really care about the boy is that it?

The cgi and other effects are great but plot per se is really thin isnt it?

How about making father getting powers as well or is that something that happens only when women are sidekicks like trinity in the matrix?

Why am I torturing myself with this?

I'm really starting to question why I'm continuing to watch this series after episode 3. I started watching it because Ridley Scott was involved and maybe I've enjoyed Alien, Blade Runner, and Gladiator too much and have some preconceptions that Raised By Wolves might offer the same level of entertainment and excitement. I fear that this will not be the case, judging by these first few episodes. The storyline is a slow grind and seems to be going nowhere fast. I'll view the next couple of episodes and if things don't start to move forward and progress in a way that's going to keep me rivetted to the screen with enthusiastic anticipation then I will gladly put an end to this masochism. "It's like black and white television with the sound turned off." as the Motorcycle Boy said in Rumblefish. There's more enjoyment in watching paint dry. 2/10 and that's being generous. I really cannot understand why these episodes are receiving such rave reviews from other people. This is supposed to be Sci-Fi not Die-Fi. I've seen more enjoyable Sci-Fi on the Discovery Channel!
