Ridley Scott, when he’s in his great-man-of-science-fiction mode, can be counted on to deliver a signature image. In the new series “Raised by Wolves,” it’s a hovering android killing machine — a cross between an archangel and the hot robot of Fritz Lang’s “Metropolis” — who splatters humans with her banshee scream. There are other things going on, including a religious war and, more prominently, an elaborate, multipronged rumination on the meaning of parenting and family. But they’re more in the nature of data sets than drama; they feel as if they could have been assembled by the show’s intelligent androids. — and the moments when Collin’s pale skin transforms to bronze-colored armor and she rises into the air, arms outspread.
