About

"Android parenting meets cosmic horror and theology"

Two androids, Mother and Father, are sent to a distant planet with a handful of human embryos to start civilization after Earth is destroyed by religious war. What begins as survival drama quickly spirals into something stranger: ancient mysteries, warring ideologies, and a planet that seems to have its own agenda. The tone is eerie and cerebral, heavy on atmosphere and unanswered questions rather than action. It rewards patience with genuinely unsettling imagery and big ideas about faith and parenthood, though it never quite resolves everything it raises.

Watch it for

the eerie visual world-building and Amanda Collin's unnerving performance as Mother.

Maybe skip if

you need tidy answers and dislike ambiguous, slow-burn mythology that never fully resolves.

In season two, Android partners Mother and Father, along with their brood of six human children, join a newly formed atheistic colony in Kepler 22 b’s mysterious tropical zone. But navigating this strange new society is only the start of their troubles as Mother’s “natural child” threatens to drive what little remains of the human race to extinction.
