How we stay independent. Editorial scores are not for sale. TVI may take on paid advisory or research work, but no commercial relationship buys coverage, advance access to scores, favorable treatment, or a change to a published finding. We pay for our own streaming subscriptions, and no reviewer sees sponsor data or affiliate revenue tied to a score. More about how we work →

The TVI Take

Ridley Scott's atheist sci-fi parable. Two androids raise human children on a distant planet seeded by the last remnants of Earth's religious wars.

Aaron Guzikowski's writing turns the show's central question, whether pure-reason machines can parent a species whose history is theological, into a sustained philosophical investigation. Cinematography and worldbuilding operate at theatrical-Scott register. HBO Max cancelled the show during the 2022 library purge with a five-season arc planned. The cancellation is the textbook case of a platform-strategy failure having nothing to do with the work.
