Tanna Young Raised By Wolves: The episodes “The Collective” and “Seven,” which we’ll explore in this piece, kicked off Season 2 of HBO’s Raised by Wolves. It’s great to be back on Keppler-22B with Mom, Dad, and the kids! I didn’t realize how much I’d missed this show or how Captivating it was until I re-watched it. If the first two seasons of Raised by Wolves are any indicator, the second season of the show is shaping up to be better than the first two.
The events of last season, which divided the ensemble geographically, occurred just a few months ago. All of the characters have returned to the Atheist colony as of the second episode of this season, and we’re introduced to a whole new cast of supporting characters. The story isn’t nearly as focused on survival as it was before because of the richness of the tropical zone. However, I am skeptical of Father’s assertion that children on this side of the globe are less likely to be slain than those on the other.
The People’s Assembly: The Collective’s Atheist survivors were on the opposite end of the spectrum from the Mithraic aristocrats who boarded the Ark of Heaven. This group is devoid of intellectuals and inventors. Scavengers who have clung to life are among them. Those who have grown up in a continual state of war are among the ranks of juvenile soldiers. Even if they believed Sue was a “turncoat,” I have no doubt that these Atheists would have done the same thing Sue had to do to survive. They, like Marcus and Sue, did not have the remarkable good fortune of coming across two believers with whom they might swap places.
For the time being, the Trust is probably correct in delaying turnover to these individuals. The Atheists, like the Mithraic colonists, are repeating the same pettiness and tribalism that resulted in the extinction of life on Earth. The colonists are malleable in the viewpoint of the Trust. Even threatening another colonist with violence is punishable by an immediate, harsh, and public execution. “Violence causes pain, and pain causes violence.”
Family
Season 2 of Raised by Wolves follows a human mother (Decima) and her android daughter (Ari) as they raise their children (Vrille). To be honest, I’m not sure. Decima’s human daughter committed suicide, according to interviewers, and Decima replaced her with this service model android model. (Ambien) Vrille is a relic from a bygone era. Marcus believes Vrille’s memories should be wiped. He will not, however, put pressure on Decima to do so (for the time being).
Marcus’s first priority is to start a new family. A genuine family that looks out for one another and has a strong bond. He is uninterested in the religious parts of their relationship, according to Decima and Tamerlan. He’s still certain he’s fulfilling Sol’s intentions, so it’s safe to presume the latter is indifferent about any of it. Marcus now sees his mission as influencing the Atheists one by one, rather than operating as a lone terrorist terrorizing the Collective from afar. Tamerlan looks to have joined Decima’s cause, and he’s willing to risk his life to destroy the tank for them.
The Trust’s “quantification of data” agenda has caused division among the human ranks. Every morning, the colonists form a line that resembles a communist labor camp rather than the idyllic future they had envisioned. With the exception of Cleaver, the majority of Tamerlan’s crew is fed up with having to continuously ask for approval for every move they perform.
Sibling
The incorruptible Quantum Six, commonly known as the Trust, joins the family as a new sibling. When they meet in person, he immediately refers to her as “sister” and pledges to defend her and her children in the Collective. This appeals to her much, and even more so to Father, who finally joins in. However, life isn’t all rainbows and rainbows.
Raised by Wolves premiered its second season
The show’s ensemble has returned for a second season, including all of the main characters. Amanda Collin is Mother/ Lamia, a powerful battle android who raises human babies on the Kepler-22b planet. Campion, their lone surviving son from a family of six, is played by Winta McGrath, while Father, her spouse, and fellow android, is played by Abubakar Salim. Tempest (Jordan Loughran), Paul (Felix Jamieson), Hunter (Ethan Hazzard), Holly (Aaasiya Shah), and Vita (Aaasiya Shah) are Mother and Father’s adopted Ark children (Ivy Wong).
Vrille, Decima’s custom model android, is played by Morgan Santo, and the Mithraic engineer is played by Kim Engelbrecht. Tamerlane and Nerva are played by James Harkness and Jennifer Saayeng, respectively. Santos, an atheist soldier, is played by Bong Mbutuma, who also appears as The Trust alongside Michael Pennington. Almar Müller makes an appearance as a technician. Natalie Robbie portrays Marcella, and Megan Theron portrays Junia. Liqhawe Kantu Xhali and Jagger Cameron play children to entertain the children at Mother’s assigned nursery. The film features an angry colonist named Daniel Maree and a tank/bomber computer spoken by Richard Lothian.
It’s likely that the Trust, although being an organic computer, is susceptible to human emotion. Tamerlan, who had publicly criticized the Trust, is punished with Lamia. This is a notable exception to the traditional idea of not enabling the sufferer to punish themself. The question is whether he is using his sister as an extension of himself or not. Despite Tamerlan’s accusations that the Trust is anti-human, it’s plausible that he dislikes this individual in particular. Niamh Algar portrays Sue, an atheist soldier/medic, and Travis Fimmel portrays Marcus Drusus, the Mithraic cult’s leader. Peter Christoffersen is introduced by Cleaver, an atheist.
Her mother’s treatment by her brother is clearly disturbing to her. She’s embarrassed by herself once more, and she wants to keep the kids in the dark about her role in the project. Other ways in which the Trust might separate Mother from her family should also be examined. Instead of calling her Mother, he makes the rest of the Collective refer to her as Lamia. She, like the rest of her family, is responsible for the education of the colonists’ children.

Discussion
I was raised by wolves. Fans of the show may notice substantial time differences in Season 2, which takes place about 5 or 6 months after Season 1. This is due to real-time. These alterations can be seen throughout the entire program. “Your voice is half an octave lower,” Campion’s mother (Collin) informs the youngster when he and his mother (McGrath) are reunited. This graph depicts McGrath’s progress over the preceding sixteen months or thereabouts. Schoeman’s hairdos with Paul, Sue, and Tempest create an impression, but they’re not the only ones.
Last Thoughts: Tanna Young, the late Scott Free executive producer who died last year due to Coronavirus complications, is honored in the Raised by Wolves Season 2 premiere. With episodes like this, we learn that family is one of the most important components of life and that life would be difficult without them. This is why “The Collective” is the title of the first episode. The show began with two persons (Mother and Father) who eventually became a family (biological and adoptive). They must now learn to interact with a group of people who are not like them.
