RAISED BY WOLVES
Executive produced by sci-fi master Ridley Scott who, at age 83, shows he still has plenty of imaginative genius and a singular ability to evoke the awe of other worlds in his direction of the first two episodes. Raised by Wolves is a smart, philosophically challenging, thinking person's sci-fi that asks difficult questions about the relationship between humans and artificial intelligence. It's the story of two androids who land on a mysterious planet with the task of raising human children only to find that humans may not be that easy to control.

'Below Zero', 'Raised by Wolves': Five awesome things to stream now
The best movies and series to binge on Netflix, Showmax and Apple TV
PENGUIN BLOOM
Naomi Watts and The Walking Dead's Andrew Lincoln star in this heartfelt, slight but charming family fare based on the true story of an outdoors woman who's paralysed after a terrible accident but finds a new lease on life when her children bring home a wounded baby magpie they name Penguin. It's inspiring, affirming and sentimental but Watts and Lincoln give some dedicated performances that lift it above the status of a Lifetime TV movie. It's satisfying if not particularly memorable.

BELOW ZERO
A solid piece of fast-paced Spanish action in which one determined cop fights off a bloodthirsty group of prisoners after their transport crashes in the freezing cold of a rainy midwinter night. It's all thrilling skop, skiet en donner fun that's entertaining enough to make its two hours pass by easily.
