Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter Dec 14, 2023
In showing how its human characters are transformed by the experience of living in foreign environments, it encourages us here on Earth to look at our surroundings a bit differently too. Go to Full Review Nora Dominick BuzzFeed News Dec 14, 2023
If you love shows like Battlestar Galactica and The Expanse, as well as incredible animated series like Arcane, I cannot recommend this one enough. Go to Full Review Inkoo Kang The New Yorker Dec 14, 2023
A triumph of imagination, using animation to bring wondrously unfamiliar flora and fauna to life. Go to Full Review Danae Stahlnecker Common Sense Media Mar 27, 2024
The show's morally gray characters and ambiguous themes leave viewers with a lot to ponder. Go to Full Review Clint Worthington The Spool Dec 14, 2023
Extrapolated from an Adult Swim short, Max’s biggest surprise is also one of science fiction’s greatest TV triumphs. Go to Full Review Miles Surrey The Ringer Dec 7, 2023

Danny L @RT35718727 6 days ago Amazing show, super interesting and the alien life is incredible. See more Luke J @RT11294371 Jun 9, 2026 Probably the best animated cartoon I've ever seen. Prepare to binge watch this one. Sadly they have not produced a second season. Please produce more like Scavengers Reign!! See more Bruno S @SquaredCloth602 May 23, 2026 A Cartoon Network animation. Distressing storytelling. Surreal designs, ideas, and logic. It carries my persona. Listed among my Top 4 animated shows. 10/10. Simply… See more Joshua M @Flameon May 17, 2026 It's an animated Alien Covenant. I liked the world building, music and animation. It could have been a little tighter. See more Stan M @StanMac May 8, 2026 Absolutely stunning, uncomfortably so at times, like the more shocking parts are at the start. Very thoughtful psychological sci-fi, another masterpiece that should have another season approved! See more Priya C. @Sci-FiTrekkie Apr 27, 2026 Scavengers Reign is one of the best sci-fi shows I’ve seen. I was sad to hear that it got cancelled since it introduced such a vibrant and unique alien world. The characters were interesting, the story was great and the art style was extremely good. It’s rare to have shows like this. See more Read all reviews
