TV review: ‘Raised By Wolves’ is a stunning, brutal sci-fi saga

‘You know we picked the wrong planet to colonise when even aloe vera doesn’t grow right in this soil.’

With just the first hour of Raised By Wolves, a stunning, allegorical and disturbing rumination on faith and the human condition seen largely through non-human eyes, Ridley Scott atones for the sheer dissatisfaction evoked by Prometheus and Alien: Covenant.

My main peeve with both those films had to do with the plot being advanced (towards hollow ends) simply by the sheer stupidity of individual characters who should have known better.
