See takes place in the distant future, after a deadly virus decimated humankind. Those who survived emerged blind. Jason Momoa stars as Baba Voss — the father of twins born centuries later with the mythic ability to see — who must protect his tribe against a powerful yet desperate queen who wants the twins destroyed.

See (2019)
Top-notch special effects, but a couple of old bridges and one dam certainly didn’t swallow the entire crazy budget. More likely Baba Voss rightly demanded a huge fee. Momoa and his decapitation antics are the series' most entertaining attraction. Someone should make a new Conan the Barbarian as a miniseries! A story of two kids born with sight who go to jail to visit their dad has a subtext that is both natural and racist. An evil black man destroying nature again = Canada burning coal. Baba sums it up nicely in the library. But I think that See would work much better as a book. Knight needs room to illustrate the thinking and motives of some of the characters properly, to understand just why they behave like cretins. Take Queen Kane and her dumb plan! How could she even hope that her plan could ever work? There must be some easily defendable reason hidden inside that sick mind of hers, but I would like to know it and not just make assumptions. To accept the fact that the blind are somehow weirdly blind is a game I’m willing to play. Some are a little like Daredevil and then again some aren’t… ok, I can dig that. I’m still looking forward to season 2, even though it has a long way to go in terms of screenwriting.

Season 2 (2021) (S02)
The really go at each other considering they are blind. The action is better and the relationships are crazier. The dumb cow of the queen is put on the back burner at the end, but even there she does damage where she can. It annoys me that the blind people have torches lit by their beds so the audience can see – stupidly but we can see – and the lesbian romance is almost pathetic. The Voss brothers and their conflict are the biggest trump cards, and while it's waved away the end, it's there and it's very very good. Oh, and the finale promises a revival of Stargate: Atlantis. Dynamite Rodney MacKey vs Ronon Dex! That's gonna be a hell of a showdown!
