Review of See

See (2019–2022)
9/10
Great series, it stopped at the right time too
26 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.
