Scavengers Reign - Saturday 22nd June 2024

This is a series I really wanted to love, because I absolutely adore animation and sci-fi, and shows that take risks, and although this ticks all those boxes, it just didn’t do it for me!

Firstly, it was ensemble show, whereas I think it would have benefited from a central protagonist. Secondly, none of those characters were really that likeable, with one of them being downright despicable. To top it all off, the formula of ‘monster of the week’ storytelling got pretty boring pretty fast. Every episode was the same challenge, but in a different guise. Yawn.
The artwork was cool though, which is sometimes enough! But not this time.
Even if it does get another season, I won’t be watching.
