First 3 episodes were released today. Stars Travis Fimmel and has a Prometheus feel to it. Ridley Scott is involved as a producer and directs a few episodes.
Raised By Wolves on HBO Max

The first episode was pretty badass. This could be a good one for HBO because it can go a long way in justifying their subscription price for a platform that doesn't have a lot of new original content yet.
Episodes 6 and 7 out today and they are solid. Story really beginning to pick up steam.
Didn't it coming that Marcus would be the one who was prophesied.

thought it was the title of your autobiography upon seeing the post headline
Thanks for the rec. Does HBO max automatically play the next episode like Netflix & Amazon Video?
I have HBO through sling and can’t get raised by wolves. I am enjoying Lovecraft Country and Halfworlds. Will need to see how I get max.
I think you just might need your Sling username and password for access.
edit: yeah can’t get it through Sling. Just looked it up.
You can still mirror to a roku device and use the app on your phone if you want to.
Pretty ridiculous they haven't been able to add it yet. I have 5 roku boxes and it's annoying.
Thanks for the reminder. I was really excited when I saw the trailer a couple months ago, but then I forgot. It looks like it'll be one I have to watch by myself because my wife is fragile and easily frightened.
yes but it just keeps going until the last episode or you stop it. i fell asleep watching entourage and was on season 3 when i turned the tv back on the next night. i guess teh app kept going since i didnt turn off my xbox
Season 2 dropped today and the first 2 episodes are available.
Thanks for the heads up. Been looking forward to it, since the last season ended. Great series.
I was pretty whelmed by the first season. What I wrote after seeing it (no real spoilers):
A gloomy and bleak Ridley Scott sci-fi series with heavy religious overtones on HBO Max. It starts out with two androids (Mother and Father) raising a small group of kids on the one hospitable planet that humans had discovered, right as Earth is becoming unlivable as a result of a giant conflict between athiests and followers of the Mithraic religion (if this sounds like the South Park episodes with the otters, you're on the right track).
As the Mithraic were finally winning the war, they sent one or more "Noah's Ark" type spaceships off to this new planet, but also an atheist leader sent these two androids off to birth and raise a new civilization of atheists on this planet. The planet is harsh and unforgiving, the two groups eventually come into conflict, some mysteries about what else is on the planet emerge, etc. Overall, it's a pretty joyless and over-serious slog, but if you were wired to geek out on movies like Prometheus, you might dig it.

Given your detailed synopsis I'm curious as to your thoughts on Foundation.
I don't have the Apple streaming TV, but I've heard really poor things about the show, especially from people who read the books. Tell me what you think, though. Thanks.
I felt like the first season lost steam as it went. There seemed to be a lot of reel time without much happening; just got very slow to me. Bailed on the last few episodes. I guess I’ll fire it up and try again with the positive compliments for Board.
I didn't read the books, so I don't have the same issues others have had with what seems like every sci-fi/fantasy adaptation. It's an interesting story with a lot of production value, so I found it to be entertaining. Certainly it has holes that I'm sure were better filled by the books, but on it's own merit I enjoyed the first season.
I tend to rate series and movies on a scale of regret and I don't regret the time invested in it, so it would be a success in my book. It also came at a time when there wasn't much content due to covid, so that may have influenced my opinion of it.
I liked it it by my science fiction enjoyment bar is low. It’s pretty ****ed up and Ridley is just continuing with the world he built in Prometheus. If you liked that movie you will like this.
