Had me hooked throughout the series
Rob13313 January 2024
See was a very entertaining sci-if series led by Jason Momoa. I have to admit that when I first read the premise about a world full of blind people at war with one another I didn't think I would like it. Then after seeing the trailers and that Momoa was in it my expectations rose. Well, after finishing the series I can say that those expectations weren't on,y met but were exceeded. I couldn't stop watching this. Sure some if it is unbelievable but it's sci-fi, it's suppose to be. Bautista was also a great addition to the cast in the second season. He was perfect in his role as Momoa's brother. It's too bad that it was only three seasons long but they couldn't really go anywhere else with the story without overstaying its welcome. At least it didn't end on a cliffhanger. Bottom line is I really liked the show overall and recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy, sci-fi or action.

Please kill off the Queen in S2

Warning: Spoilers
The show itself is entertaining and visually stimulating. But Queen Cane is utterly unbearable as an actress. Way over the top.

OMG, the Queen is soooooo annoying.
sean-hobson14 August 2021
I absolutely cannot stand this character. The constant screaming like a little kid. I dread every single scene she is in. Absolutely awful.

Entertaining but the Queen & kids are annoying AF!
Supermanfan-1318 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
See is absolutely, without a doubt, a very entertaining series and I can't wait for another season! My only real gripe is that this show has two very annoying characters. The first is by far the worst and that's because of how bad her acting is and that is Sylvia Hoeks as Queen Kane. All she does is scream and it's such an annoying high pitch scream that it becomes intolerable. When she does actually talk it's a weird annoying voice. The second character isn't so much the acting as the character itself and that's the daughter, Haniwa (Nesta Cooper). I was hoping the entire time in Season 1 that she would be killed. The way she dismissed everything her dad said and did and how she always though she was right (even though she never was) was just annoying. Maybe we're not suppose to like her character but it would be better if we liked both kids. I do have to admit that she was better and was a little less annoying in Season 2.

I have absolutely no problem with females playing stronger/tougher characters who can fight (it's about time) but it's now gone so far the other way it's ridiculous and no longer believable. Every show now has the woman as the stronger fighter and the men weaker that it's become so unrealistic. Some of these women's fight scenes are just so unbelievable. Their punches and kicks look like they couldn't hurt a toddler but a 250lb grown man gets knocked out on one hit? Jason Momoa is the highlight of the series as his usual terrific self! Bautista was also a great addition to the cast. They were both perfect for the role they were given. If you haven't seen this yet then do yourself a favor and go watch it.

Ending was disappointing
pejman7529 December 2023
I enjoyed it all the to the last episode. Again like GOT I was let down. Almost everyone's ending could have been better. At the end again I thought it was a giant waste of my time but because of the baba I keep my review at 8. Amazing from the beginning to the end. Once the show is over I almost thought only the scenes that he was in them were thoroughly awesome. Although queens husband to be fair played his role well. The children did a horrible job specially the boy. It felt like he was a new grad from acting school. Girl was bad too but not as bad as the boy and their mom was alright. Not sure what else can be said about this show.

Great series, it stopped at the right time too
haibane-tenshi26 December 2023
See is really an awesome series, led by great acting, interesting characters and interesting world, even if this last aspect could've been more developed.

It has 3 seasons. The first two are absolute gems, especially the second one, with great character building, awesome acting (to the point if you wonder if Jason Momoa even acts or that's just, like, him) and great villains (evil Queen is about the most despicable character in tv history, along with Geoffrey Baratheon).

The show finds perfect balance between adventure, impossible odds in a very hostile world, and the equality immense love and strength that you can find in a nuclear family (parents & children), a strength that can overcome everything and that can be only mirrored in the opposition between siblings.

The show wrapped up nicely, and at the right time, as it was clearly out of breath/ creativity, regarding the opposition our heroes have to face, with absurd characters behavior, impossible physics and things that just seem to materialize out of thin air. A clear step down from season 1 and, especially, season 2.

The setting is also pretty interesting, a world where the vast majority is blind, for some unknown reason, and sight is punishable by death. We don't know what happened, when it happened, why it happened. And the show limits itself at the classical apocalypse trope, without pressing the question. That world deserved a bit more explanation.

Maybe we'll have another show in the same setting ?

In any case respect to Apple for producing some of the greatest shows of the past years, with great production, great characters, great acting and great story. "See" is up there with "for all mankind", "foundation", "shantaram", "severance" and "silo", even better than a few of them too.

Good idea, bad execution
kshchurova18 September 2022
The idea was so fresh and promising! But the execution.. make it rough! Those people are blind and don't even know what it means to be able to see! Their world looks too good for a blind people world, they dress to well and they even color their clothes. It makes it boring and the initial idea is completely wasted.

It seems like the screen writers completely disregarded the blindness in the second season. So now it's just an ordinary medieval show, so it's easy to compare it with other shows of that sort. I'm just waiting for a dragon to appear.

And I agree, that the queen and Haniwa are sooooooo sooo annoying!

i liked it, good for english learners
pars-9186517 December 2023
This is one of the best series I have ever seen. You will find a completely different world and also different people. The main idea of this work was very nice. I watched its all seasons and love it, the ideas inside this movie was brilliant. I think the final episode could be better, and the story line had potential to grow more. I am an English language learner, and this series helped me a lot, because the people are blind, so they speak very clear and it helped me to improve my language skills with listening. As an English learner in my opinion this can be one of the best options for practicing language skills.

It's fantasy people
g_hannum5 November 2019
Almost passed this up because of all the bad reviews, glad I didn't, this is a pretty good fantasy series, through 3 episodes anyway, everyone taking it way too serious, just enjoy the world they have created.

and if humans were blind for several thousand years, they would adapt,

[8.5] Think too much and you're out
cjonesas11 March 2020
See is an interesting show with beautiful opening & soundtrack, premise, story, photography and battle sequences. Do not compare it with what your memory may deceptively offer you.

It's not reality, it's not even fictional reality, it has its own world, its own logic. You either like it, follow the storyline without too much thinking and rationalization or you don't. Many reviewers hint about the show's logic, fluidity of their movements, their cloths...

Forget about that, do not search for a hidden truthful logic or lack of it. It is the way it is after centuries of blindness; they have adapted quite well, have stronger olfactive and tactile senses, they do whatever they aim to do, each of them in his/her own level and they sense well presence of friends and foe, even in combat actions. You just get that from their behavior, you need to accept it the way it is or science-fiction shows are most surely not meant for you.

Having said that, I have to tell that the series is not impressive, it is just well-done. The cast does a good job, some more than the others (like Baba Voss,Queen Kane, Witchfinder Warrior...)

IMO, what the series suffers from is lack of depth. It needs a stronger material, deeper storyline or the same would be dragged to season 2.

That's why even though the cast does a good job, the actors and actresses don't shine and are not impressive in the general sense of acting. Among them, though, the Queen and Witchfinder deliver a much stronger performance because of the power-hungry craziness and unique acting of the former and the presence, well-chosen words and speaking of the latter.

Jason Momoa is impressive physically as well as in battles and a good actor too, IMO. His character brings honor to the show and that was a pleasure to watch. I never thought that I would be happy to see him in one specific scene, but it did and brought a smile to my face too. Good writing.

All in all, See is a good show; just not to everybody's taste and has room for improvement to make it unforgettable.

Progressively gets worse
kyle-881197 October 2022
If you try to rationalize this show it's gonna suck but it was very entertaining especially for the first season. Third season is pretty terrible. One of my main problems is that the sighted kids continually get their asses kicked in combat haha. They should be completely dominating in the battlefield yet they constantly can't hold their own.

The queen is one of the most annoying characters in all of tv. I hate her character but not in a good way like we hate Cersei Lannister because there is some respect for her. Jason Mamoas character is the only thing good about this show at this point and there shouldn't be a season 4. Season one laid out a cool concept and they ruined it.

Sylvia Hoeks, can we re-cast her?
mariaadam1 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
If you ignore all the plot holes considering a world of blind people... its not a bad series. Mamoa is, as always amazing. But I found the actress Sylvia Hoeks (queen) and her character choices extremely annoying. She looks great with the shaved hair but high voice is just drawing me crazy.

The 'queen' makes watching this potentially great show almost unbearable!!!
lethaleagles-9188420 November 2023
'Queen hum ha' is the most irritating and robotic actor allowed to be seen on a potentially epic show and whom ever put her in the show nevermind as queen kane should have their job examined as well. Her acting is outdone by the sighted kid who tells the soldiers where baba voss is when he intrudes. I understand that her character is in need to be seen disliked but wow!!! I love Scarlett Johansson and I would of put her in this position before ever giving. Sylvia Hoeks a job whatsoever. Even sitting here alone watching I'm mocking her out loud with her hum hah bah bluh bluh blaaah! Lines that she goes through as if the whole show rests on her self righteous completely annoying voice and rambling annoying verses of what I can't explain as anything other than pain to my ears and head. The best thing they could do with her is QUICKLY kill her character and maybe even like the crow lol!

A promising start
amraamx5 November 2019
First of all i think there's too many negative reviews the show is just starting the idea is promising and has a lot of potential i can understand that some people can't swallow the dynamics of blind world but you can't unveil all the series mysteries in 3 episodes give it time and it can develop into a great show i would rather watch a series with a good start and then develop into an epic ending rather than starting with a great pilot then 8 season later ends in a disaster

Rich, fascinating, complete wonderful world
jaspermalcolmson-1406122 October 2023
I thought this show was fantastic. The premise of the world is great - and the plot continuously moves in a well planned and meaningful direction.

There is a great web of themes - family, progress, tradition, the dangers of modernity, the benefits of modernity - and at the same time it is a compelling story of a family.

I loved the characters - rich, interesting, fun, and I felt a real sense of connection with them.

The filming is incredible - the scenes are beautiful and grab the eye. You just love to keep watching.

Definitely watch this show. It is way underrated and it something really special!

to everyone giving it 1 star
makhshar012 November 2019
People already judging this show before it even explains everything. well to me it seems people are very fkn annoyed that these people have been blind for a long time and most people adapt to their environment. I honestly have no idea either but so far the story itself is getting very good. Give it a go u won't regret it.

Not bad
masterkiller-372187 January 2021
It will be much better if we can get rid of the two most annoying characters Queen Kane and Haniwa.

Stop taking this so seriously and literally people.
steven-james-lam5 November 2019
This is just a TV show not a factual future style documentary, its just entertainment people. You really think transformers, light sabres and those cars in too fast too furious all work like that in real life? Yes, a lot of this doesn't make sense and is kind of annoying in parts, and yes, I agree the emphasis on their blindness should have been less hollywood and more realistic like Birdbox. If this would have been the case i would have given it 9 or even 10, but i only seen 2 episodes so far.

Photography is amazing, so are the detailed costumes and the performances seem good even though this is a stereotypical Jason M role, but you know what it suits him, just like Khal Drogo character.

Just so to make things clear, blind doesn't normally mean 100 % blackness. it often is a case of people seeing dark shapes and silhouettes instead of complete darkness, this could explain some if it, but just enjoy it everybody. Avengers are not real either just so you all know.

It's fine, but utterly illogical
rkyliuk2 January 2020
Why would the parliament dye their robes orange if everyone was blind? Why the massive time jump from e1 to re2? Why would Alkeens do a haka dance (which is a visual display of strength) against blind people?? I mean it's a kinda fun show, and the blind (Momoa) vs. blind fights are cool but it's not convincing in its world building.

Perfect except moron kids
william-rahul24 September 2022
This is a brilliant execution of the time it shows. Everyone acted well except so called kids ( Haniwa and Kofun ) Understood they were kids at first but thereafter even after becoming father of One ( Wolffe ) Kofun acts childish and Haniwa is as it is hopeless. Almost all the series and movies I have seen with kids in them just hate em all just because of weird actions. Not their fault though coz the scriptwriter thinks they can do anything once they have kids in the show they can make them do anything stupid. Hence, Brilliant show except for the kids. Furthermore, Jason Momoa is at his best and rest of the casting is superb as well. Going towards end just wanna say one thing to the script writers.. Grow up with the kids!! 💐🙏🏼

A good start
zkmarkov28 June 2021
The cinematography is great The acting is great for the most part The writing is alright The choreography is the best part I'd say, there's generally action and combat in every episode. If you're a fan of Tararntino style action the choreography alone my keep you in your seat.

In conclusion it's pretty good, but you might find it dull at parts. If you don't like it by the end of episode 2 you won't like the rest of it probably.

Started good
zoz-768856 March 2023
With every season this show sadly becomes more terrible to a degree that I feel stupid for wasting my time watching it. Very bad dialogues character build and development unrealistic behaviors that made me wonder why will people be acting this way. I really hoped this show had stopped with the first season.

The third season was the worst by far. It gives you a sense that the writers have nothing to offer other than milking the show to make money at least this is what I felt, and that's why fully written tv series are far superior than (let's start shooting and see how far we can go). I gave it two stars because of the first season otherwise 1.

People are blind but women still have the need to wear makeup, bride hair, put decorations on clothes and head. Go figure...
