Raised By Wolves: Why People Can't Look At Necromancer Eyes
The Androids in Raised by Wolves display a wide array of powers, but why can't people look at Necromancer eyes? Initially released via HBO Max on September 3rd, 2022, Raised By Wolves centers on two Androids, Father (Abubakar Salim) and Mother (Amanda Collin), who are tasked with raising human children on new planet Kepler-22b after a great war has destroyed the Earth. Raised by Wolves has received widespread acclaim across its initial two seasons to date, with critics enamored by the series' beguiling blend of sci-fi action and intriguing philosophical debate on the subject of artificial intelligence.
Raised by Wolves season 2 doubles down on its own philosophical questions, with Mother and Father learning that controlling the beliefs of humans is an increasingly treacherous and difficult task. These tribulations in controlling Kepler-22b's inhabitants as they raise their children have led to the androids clashing with disobedient humans, with both Mother and Father depicted as near-invincible entities in these confrontations. This statement is particularly pertinent to Mother, with the Necromancer built to exterminate entire populations should she deem it necessary.
