Raised by Wolves

I started watching a new TV-show. It is named "Raised by Wolves". The director of this show is Ridley Scott(at least for two first episodes).

It is a sci-fi story about two androids who have to help the new human race to colonize a new planet. The main android has the name Mother and another one has the name Father. The Earth almost was destroyed after the war between atheists, who didn't believe in any Gods, and mithraists who worshiped Sol the God of the Sun. To save humankind the mithraists build a huge space ship and send it to one of the far planets. Battle androids were the powerful weapon of the mithraists, but atheists could recode two of them and sent them in the small spaceship with frozen human embryos to the same planet (I guess because only this planet is good for colonization).

They got to the planet a few years before the mithraists, whose ship was huge and transported the humans, who wouldn't survive if the ship moved faster. The androids had time to raise six children, but unfortunately, when the mithraists were gotten to the planet only one boy was alive.

It is a very interesting story when you can't decide who from the heroes are good or bad, because in one episode you are on the side of one of the hero, but the next episode you want to another hero win. There is some dark aesthetic in the movie.
