Scavenger's Reign is a breath of fresh air, not just as an animated series, but in general as a completely new idea executed brilliantly. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. It can be very disturbing with body and existential horror, but it is absolutely excellent.

Never even heard of it - platform?
It was an HBO Max original, but they leased it out to Netflix for some reason. So, in the USA at least, it's on those two.
I’ve watched it all and still don’t get it. Can you explain to me what I’m missing?
It's not a 3 act plot story, or even truly have a point per se, at least not that I could fathom. I think of it more as art that you interpret through your own lens.
It felt like an anthology with 3 story lines that converge at the end, but the lack of any understanding of the world around (by both the viewer and the characters) them makes all interactions with the environment feel contrived.
I'll be rooting for it!
I really enjoyed the show
Scavengers Reign was such a refreshing breathe of something different in a genre that has felt like it's been chasing ideas instead of leading. I really hope Season 2 materializes, even if it goes to another service.
This show looked interesting, so I started watching it. After the first episode, I was confused and frustrated. But, I really wanted to like it, so I watched the second episode. And the third. I should like this. I love Sci Fi. I love complex stories, there's a plot here somewhere, I can feel it! After the third episode, I gave up. Nothing made sense. I watched Blue Eye Samurai again, I enjoyed that despite it's flaws. I wanted to like this show, I really did. I just.... I'm missing something, but for the life of me I can't figure out what.
I'm glad you all enjoyed the show. Be glad I don't get a vote.
I had the same experience as you, but finished out the season. It doesn’t get better.
I probably need to rewatch Blue Eye Samurai, it’s extremely well done.
Wait what? It was cancelled? Shit. It was amazing, I haven't seen anything like it.
This show is so awesome, really hoping on a season 2
Jesus the voice over performances... I feel like the only impressive one was deliria
Maybe angstrom but I feel like he didn't get enough screentime to warrant it
Generally the way the Emmy's work is that producers will submit a single episode for consideration. For Angstrom they submitted the last episode of the season where he's prominent throughout.
Aaaah! Well thank you!
