Scavengers Reign

 

Really good TV series. Well, HBO max series. I saw a trailer of this a while ago and thought it might be a good watch (then forgot about it), then finally decided to watch it with my husband when I saw it on Netflix.

From Wikipedia

"

The series follows the survivors of the damaged interstellar cargo ship Demeter 227 who are stranded on Vesta, an alien planet bustling with flora and fauna but filled with dangers. Initially the survivors are separated into three groups: Azi and her robot companion Levi, Sam and Ursula, and the isolated Kamen, who travels with a telepathic creature named Hollow. Over time all their paths converge towards the crash-landed Demeter.

Visually stunning with creative designs of alien species. I won't explain much, because it's simply a must watch.

I did want to point out one thing though. 

I'm quite prejudice against 'woke ideology' when they push a narrative that doesn't fit the whole story just to preach about LGBTQ. I have nothing against the LGBTQ community or feminism. I'm a women myself and I'm all for women's empowerment and I think there should be some representation of diversity and LGBTQ. But when a story revolves around the matter or pushes it in a forced manner, I find it pretty distasteful. Like having black elves in the Rings of power, or making Ray in Starwars overpowered just to make 'strong women' type thing with all the men around her, almost like fumbling idiots. Can you imagine walking through Wakanda and just randomly seeing a middle eastern man who's supposed to be a bred and born Wakandan? No... I wish historical or geological settings kept it's race dynamic because if they just force other races in it... it just takes me out of the emersion. But you know where diversity fits in perfectly? In futuristic settings and in a completely different universe that's not based on the current world we live in. Adventure time, Cyberpunk, Arcane are all series that has diversity, and sexuality but fits in with the world setting very well. 

Well I thought Scavengers Reign is also a great example of when these diversity issues are done very well. There are empowered women, diverse races and sexuality, but none of those interfere with the whole story and fits very well with the time and setting.
