See is an American science fiction drama television series produced for Apple TV+ and starring Jason Momoa and Alfre Woodard in leading roles. Set in a post-apocalyptic dystopia in the distant future where humanity's descendants have lost their sight, and the ability to see is considered to be a myth, the plot is set in motion by the birth of twin sighted children in a mountain tribe.

See was created by Steven Knight. Anders Engström directed a majority of the episodes. It also stars Sylvia Hoeks, Hera Hilmar, Christian Camargo, Archie Madekwe, Nesta Cooper, and Yadira Guevara-Prip. Executive producers include Knight, Lawrence, Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, and Kristen Campo.

The series premiered on November 1, 2019, with a second season premiering on August 27, 2021. The third and final season premiered on August 26, 2022, and concluded on October 14, 2022.[1][2]

## Premise

[edit]

In the 21st century, a virus wiped out most of humanity. Fewer than two million people survived, and all their descendants have lost their sense of sight. See takes place several centuries later, by which time society has found new ways to socially interact, build, hunt, and survive without vision, albeit at a much lower economic level;[3] humanity has returned to tribal hunter-gatherer and medieval-type societies. Knowledge of the old, sighted world has become lost or distorted; it is believed that materials such as metal, concrete, and plastic were created supernaturally by gods. The concept of vision has become a myth, and any mention of it is considered heresy.

See's action takes place in an area contested by two rivals: the Payan Kingdom (capital city: Kanzua) and the Trivantian Republic (capital city: Trivantes).[4][5] In the mountains, a pregnant woman named Maghra seeks shelter with the Alkenny tribe. The Chief of the Alkenny, Baba Voss, who has been unable to father children, marries her and adopts her children. Their biological father, Jerlamarel, is wanted by the Queen of the Payan Kingdom for the heresy of being "sighted" (the natural ability to see). Word spreads of Jerlamarel siring children, prompting a witch hunt for Jerlamarel and his offspring. Baba Voss must protect both his family and his tribe against the Queen's army.

### Locations

[edit]

Although filmed in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Ontario,[6] the plot takes place in what was Western Pennsylvania.[5] Some key names and locations from the show — despite differences due to language change — can be identified:[4][5]

* Alkenny — Alleghany
* Kanzua — Kinzua Dam
* Pennsa — State College[7]
* Trivantes — Pittsburgh

This was Jason Momoa's second lead television role (after starring in the Canadian series Frontier).

1| 1| "Godflame"| Francis Lawrence| Steven Knight| November 1, 2019 (2019-11-01)

In a dystopian future where humans have lost the sense of sight, two babies are born to Maghra—a newcomer to the Alkenny tribe, which lives in a lush forest landscape. Meanwhile, Queen Kane—the ruler of the city of Kanzua, has ordered Tamacti Jun, General of the Witchfinder army, to hunt down "witches"—those who promote the concept of vision or spread the knowledge of Jerlamarel, a man who can see. At the Alkenny settlement, tribe leader Baba Voss—the adopted father of the babies and Maghra's husband — prepares the village for battle against the Witchfinder army. Tribe member Gether Bax betrays the Alkenny by disclosing the location of the settlement to Tamacti Jun, and mentioning rumors that the babies' father is Jerlamarel. Baba Voss and the Alkenny engage in a bloody battle to defend the settlement. With their location compromised and the Witchfinder army now in pursuit, Baba Voss and Paris follow Jerlamarel's clues and lead the Alkenny to a newly discovered bridge which provides them passage out of the valley. Baba Voss destroys the bridge preventing their pursuers from following. After many days of travel, the Alkenny find a new area to create a settlement.

While hunting in the forest, Baba Voss is attacked by a bear. He is saved by Jerlamarel, who asks Baba Voss to raise his children and keep them safe until they are old enough to receive a box containing "knowledge". Baba Voss retrieves the box, which contains dozens of books. Meanwhile, Gether Bax continues to stoke discontent towards Voss' leadership. He and his aunt Souter Bax secretly enlist another tribe member – Bow Lion, acting as a Shadow (a person skilled in obtaining information covertly), to spy on Paris. Maghra, Baba Voss and Paris discover that the babies—now named Kofun and Haniwa—can see and agree not to speak of the discovery again for twelve summers. Bow Lion tells Gether Bax that Paris and Baba Voss only talk of typical baby things. Gether thinks she may be lying to him, and sends a message in a bottle down river hoping it will reach the Witchfinder. Twelve summers later, Paris goes against Maghra's wishes and informs Kofun and Haniwa that Jerlamarel is their real father and provides them with the box of books.

3| 3| "Fresh Blood"| Francis Lawrence| Steven Knight and Hadi Nicholas Deeb| November 1, 2019 (2019-11-01)

Queen Kane receives Gether Bax' message reporting the location of the Alkenny and decides to order Tamacti Jun to once again hunt down the children. At the Alkenny's settlement, Gether and Souter Bax' incestuous relationship results in a stillborn and disfigured child. In response, Baba Voss, Maghra and Paris along with several younger Alkenny seek out a nearby festival to encourage their people to seek partners from outside their tribe. Unknown to them, Kofun and Haniwa follow behind. At the festival, the group discover the Witchfinder's rumors of witches have spread and innocent people are being burned alive. After Kofun is captured by slave traders, the group track them to a former mining quarry. Ashamed, Baba Voss reveals he used to be a slaver, before carrying out a violent rescue of Kofun.

## Production

[edit]

### Development

[edit]

On January 10, 2018, it was announced that Apple had given the production a series order for an eight-episode season. The series was written by Steven Knight and directed by Francis Lawrence, both of whom also executive produced alongside Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, and Kristen Campo. Production companies involved with the series consisted of Chernin Entertainment and Endeavor Content.[8][9][10][11][12][13]

Lawrence, Knight, the show's writers, and the art and prop departments worked with blindness consultants, an evolutionary biologist, and a survivalist on worldbuilding See, brainstorming about how societies would develop and function under such conditions.[14][15]

On November 7, 2019, Apple ordered a second season of the series.[16] In June 2021, Apple announced the show was to be renewed for a third season.[17] In June 2022, it was announced that the third season consisting of eight episodes would conclude the series. The final season premiered on August 26, 2022, and concluded on October 14, 2022.[1][2]

### Casting/preproduction

[edit]

A July 2018 announcement revealed that Jason Momoa and Alfre Woodard had been cast in series regular roles,[18][19][20][21] followed by news that Yadira Guevara-Prip, Nesta Cooper, Sylvia Hoeks, and Archie Madekwe had joined the main cast a month later.[22][23] On October 18, 2018, it was reported that Christian Camargo and Hera Hilmar had been cast in series regular roles.[24]

Before filming began, the cast — which mostly consisted of sighted actors — underwent a month of rigorous "blindness training" with blindness coach Joe Strechay.[25] (Strechay was promoted to a co-producer of the show in season 2.)[26] The actors — sometimes wearing sleep shades — learning how to move sightlessly and to develop their other senses, including the rudimentary ability to echolocate.[27][28][29] The goal was to also avoid the usual media clichés of blindness, such as characters constantly feeling each other's faces.[30] The actors were also trained by movement director Paradox Pollack.[29]

A few blind and low-sighted actors were cast in supporting roles, including Bree Klauser and Marilee Talkington, with the goal to increase that number in later seasons.[31][14][28] Blind actor Adam Morse had a small role in season 2 as Frye, a Witchfinder serving under the character Toad.[32]

Oliver Rae Aleron and Spencer Prewett from Archspire appear in a cameo in the first episode.[33]

In January 2020, it was announced that Dave Bautista would be joining the series for season 2, playing the brother of Baba Voss.[34][35] In February 2020, news followed that Adrian Paul would also be joining the cast, playing a character named Lord Harlan,[36] though Tom Mison would end up taking that role. In October 2020, it was announced that Jason Momoa's former Stargate Atlantis castmate, Joe Flanigan, had been cast in the second season of the show in a recurring role.[37] In June 2021, it was announced Eden Epstein, Tom Mison, Hoon Lee and Olivia Cheng had joined Bautista as new series regulars for the second season whilst David Hewlett and Tamara Tunie would guest star.[38]

In June 2022, it was announced that David Hewlett, who guest starred in the second season, was promoted to series regular for the third and final season and was joined by new series regular Michael Raymond-James whilst Trieste Kelly Dunn would guest star.[39]

### Filming

[edit]

Principal and major photography for the first season commenced on September 17, 2018, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and ended on February 8, 2019.[40][41] In October 2018, filming was reported to be taking place in Coquitlam, Eagle Mountain, North Vancouver (water shed), Rutheford service road, Pemberton, Deroche, Delta at Boundary Bay, Mission, Squamish Valley, Youth Detention Center Burnaby, Allouette in Mapleridge and the Campbell River and Strathcona Provincial Park areas of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.[42] Production costs for See rivaled that of HBO's Game of Thrones, though rumors that the budget for the first two seasons was $240 million, or $15 million per episode,[30] were debunked by Lawrence.[14]

Filming for the second season was expected to begin on February 3, 2020, and end on July 10, 2020.[43] However, in March 2020, production was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[44] In September 2020, it was reported that See would resume filming on October 14, 2020, in Toronto.[45] The second season finished filming on March 18, 2021.[46]

Prior to the premiere of season two, the show was renewed for a third season with filming beginning in May and wrapping in November 2021.[47][17][48]

## Release

[edit]

During Apple WWDC 2021, a sizzle reel included footage from the second season. A few days later, on June 10, 2021, a teaser for the second season was revealed along with the release of August 27, 2021.[49]

## Reception

[edit]

### Critical response

[edit]

The review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gave the first season a 44% approval rating based on 52 reviews, with an average rating of 5.30/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Though its capable cast is clearly game, an over-reliance on gore and a grimly—and at times comically—convoluted narrative blurs See's bold vision."[50] On Metacritic the series has a weighted average score of 40 out of 100 based on reviews from 25 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[51]

In November 2019, Variety's Daniel D'Addario was critical of the show, saying it: "Wastes the time of Jason Momoa and Alfre Woodard, among others, on a story that starts from a position of fun, giddy strangeness and drags itself forward at a lugubrious pace."[52]

Ben Travers at IndieWire responded positively to the first season: "Steven Knight's action-drama is a strange-but-effective blend" and "the balance isn't quite there yet, as episodes don't exactly earn their hourlong run time. Momoa, meanwhile, fits the role well."[53]

Rotten Tomatoes gave the second season an 83% approval rating based on 6 reviews, with an average rating of 7.10/10.[54] Season 2 broke the viewership record for Apple TV, becoming the channel's most-watched drama series.[55]

Collider, in reviewing the final season, wrote, "Season 3, which also serves as the conclusion of the show, continues this positive trajectory, arriving at an ending that offers plenty of well-staged action that also delves deeper into the characters nearing the end of their story."[56]
