Not everyone boldly goes where no one has gone before on purpose. That’s the premise of any number of science fiction masterworks, and it’s the premise of Scavengers Reign, the Max animated series that strands the crew of a disabled deep-space vessel on a place both wonderful and strange. As the scattered humans try to make their way back to the ship and each other, the animals, vegetables, and maybe even minerals of the planet make their own fascinating, frightening, frequently lethal presence felt.
