Raised by Wolves' sophomore season doubles down on everything that made it so beguiling -- and sometimes off-putting -- in the first place, and the gamble pays off with a
science fiction vision that feels wholly its own. Critic Ratings: 14 User Ratings: 321 Season 2

A future-shock caper with real weight, it harks back satisfyingly to the sci-fi that existed before George Lucas fired up his lightsaber and ruined all the fun.

Raised by Wolves wafts into emotional and narrative oblivion.
Mar 22, 2022
It’s a lot. A lot of weirdness that instead of being fed to us as mysteries for us to theorize about, or as simple pieces of a puzzle, they instead become seeds for further mystery-box tropes.

Heres hoping Raised by Wolves continues to reward the audiences faith and doesnt let the shows enduring riddles swallow it whole.
Feb 6, 2022
Science fiction of this kind is sorely needed in a time of pure spectacle. It has a canvas that is rich to gaze at but it’s the intellectual stimulation that really delivers.

The Ridley Scott-produced HBO Max series about warring religious and atheist factions has entered its second season. And it’s time you started paying attention.
Feb 4, 2022
There is simply nothing like Raised by Wolves on television. It’s sci-fi, but it also really leans into fantasy. It’s stocked with strange ideas and compelling performances, and has a keen sense of aesthetic.

Season 2 never risks becoming boring -- the minimum requirement for any hourlong series. Collin and Salim alone should hold your attention.
Feb 2, 2022
Raised By Wolves season two starts out with a whole lot of stuff going on, but it already feels like a far more balanced season than the first.

While the show's canvas has expanded, it hasn't lost its focus on the big questions of faith, identity, and family it's been wrestling with since the pilot.

It takes about 20 minutes to find its footing again, but S2 moves even faster & is more interesting than S1. Collin & Salim are wonderful additions to Ridley Scott's androids.

So far, Raised By Wolves Season 2 isn't trying to appeal to a wider fanbase, but is playing to its core audience of weirdos. The new season doesn't just feed us; it gorges us on knotty science fiction and bonkers plot twists.
Jan 28, 2022
It is clear from the start this season is trying to raise the stakes from season one. The bizarre, twisted, Sci-Fi feel fans know and love doesn't take long to show up.
Jan 27, 2022
While its two-part premiere feels like a return to status quo, Season 2 kicks off with deepening emotional mysteries. The performances remain impeccable, and the show is still poised to be a haunting exploration of faith and flesh.
