    Looking at the first 5 episodes i fell like the trailer may have showed it to be a little more exciting.
    The trailer showed it as a sc-fi action but it is more like a drama.
    Its a story about these kids and there caretakers, that´s 80% off the show. I got bored at the end of the second episode, and it just got worse as it continued.

    This is what TV has become: - Pour money in pilot and first two, three episodes. Try to hook the audience
    - Then, titillate, throw red herrings left and right, keep them on their toes
    - Add filler with emotional/relational /psychological mumbojumbo and pseudo philosophical clichés/platitutes - Just pull the rug under the fee of the viewers and completely go free-wheeling for the last    This is what TV has become: - Pour money in pilot and first two, three episodes.

    Feel more fantasy than science, takes you back to star trek hippie idiotic like nonsense from the 50’s and 60’s, didn’t expect to see such a trash production on hbo, what a shame, it’s like going back to cable and browse on cheap network sci-fi.

    It is not the fact that there is nothing new on show. Delivered with enough panache, there will always be an appetite for traditional sci-fi tropes reassembled to bang home the usual messages. But Raised By Wolves does not have panache – and the thin, unsophisticated story it comprises stands naked, particularly cruelly so in a post-Westworld landscape.

    “Raised by Wolves” is at its best when it allows Scott and the directors that follow him to dig into the issues, but it lacks in departments like storytelling, mythology, and world-building. It feels like a sketch for a show, waiting to come together into something denser and more engaging.

    The sheer ambition of "Raised By Wolves" and the brand-name visionary behind it may be enough to claim a portion of the audience's fascination for these 10 episodes. Certainly it was enough to draw my interest, and certainly it was a disappointment to struggle to connect with this series over the course of its first six episodes.
