GHOSTS: The ghost series that makes you laugh (and has triumphed in Great Britain)
NEVENKA.Netflix remembers the 'Nevenka case', the drift of a macho society
Unlike
many other science fiction proposals,
very violent
, with a great symbolic load and
full of enigmas
that are not easy to solve.
This is
Raised by Wolves
, the series that features
Travis Fimmel
(
Vikings
) and that
Ridley Scott
has designed for the greater enjoyment of
lovers of futuristic stories
with a dark and apocalyptic tone.
IT'S A PROJECT BY RIDLEY SCOTT
Ridley Scott
is the great promoter of this project.
Here he has combined the duties of
executive producer
with that of
director
of the first two episodes.
And you can see it.
The person in charge of blockbusters such as
Alien
,
Blade Runner
or
Gladiator
has spared no means
for a series that has become the audiovisual production with the highest budget shot in South Africa.
Locations near Stellenbosch and the Lourensford Wine Estate serve as the setting for a futuristic story in which
two androids are sent to a distant planet called Kepler-22B.
There they must raise a group of children, away from any danger.
The androids Father (Abubakar Salim) and Mother (Amanda Collin).
Although, as a backdrop,
Raised by Wolves
reflects the
eternal struggle between religion and science
.
Along with this, the presence of man-made beings that seem to have developed feelings for which they were not programmed is an issue that
reminds
us
of Scott's previous works such
as
Alien
or
Blade Runner
.
THERE IS SUSPENSE IN ALL CHAPTERS
In
Raised by Wolves
there is action, many deaths and a great axis that supports the story:
the moral dilemma about whether science should prevail over religious beliefs or the other way around.
The protagonist androids, named Father (Abubakar Salim,
Fortitude
series
) and Mother (Amanda Collin,
Redemption: The Cases of Department Q
), are artificial beings that protect humans.
But
they are not alone on the inhospitable planet Kepler-22B.
Mother, along with the 'children' she cares for on Kepler-22B.
As the episodes
unfold, other humans appear
with enormous destructive power who, supported by religious leaders, try to impose their rules.
An equation that does not include the androids, which must be eliminated.
Especially Mother, an android programmed to take care of the little ones but with the ability (as a necromancer) to
fly and eliminate humans
thanks to powerful emitted waves.
Here it is necessary to warn of the great violent charge that this series presents.
Among others, you can see images of heads exploding.
Almost nothing.
COMBINE ACTION WITH RELIGIOUS BACKGROUND
The struggle between the followers of the
Mithraic religion and the atheists
ended life on Earth long ago, according to
Raised by Wolves
.
And Father and Mother have been sent by atheists to Kepler 22-B, along with a series of embryos.
The idea is to
preserve human life
and trust science and reason, leaving aside beliefs of another kind.
Travis Fimmel, the 'Vikings' star, appears in this series.
Everything changes with the arrival on the planet of a human ship sent by the Mithraics, who worship the Sun and have no qualms about killing their rivals.
Here we should highlight the presence of the two best-known faces of the cast:
Travis Fimmel
, who was Ragnar in
Vikings
;
and
Matias Varela
, star in
Narcos
and seen in the second season of
Hierro
.
Its characters
, key to the plot,
hide many surprises
that it is better to discover episode by episode.
HAS A SURPRISING ENDING
You have to bite your tongue a lot
not to reveal the big twist at the end
of the first season.
But, if we remember that Ridley Scott is behind everything and that he is an expert when it comes to continuing stories even though years have passed, something can be intuited.
In general,
Raised by Wolves
is
a slow digesting series, with a frenetic pace in the action sequences and that leaves room for reflection
.
Very dark but offering a great reward.
And, in case anyone is wanting more, there will be a second season.
