Jour noir

I'm not blind. Maybe that's why I don't understand a world of only blind people riding horses at a full gallop and wearing crowns.

It's entertaining for those who like medieval settings, even though this is supposed to be the distant future. But after centuries of everyone being blind, they seem to appreciate jewelry, feathers in their hair, lots of hairdos and beards that take a lot to create and maintain. Not to mention, these are good looking choices. How any of it is appreciated in the middle of a world where days are spent finding food, water, and maintaining a safe shelter all while blind is beyond me.

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.

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.

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

Fair enough this is set in the future but very hard to park a logical brain and go with the flow. After every few minutes you question how xyz is possible if everyone is blind. A difficulty with engaging story lines means there is an over reliance on brutal gratuitous violence every few minutes. Perhaps being blind means you have to completely obliterate your opponent to ensure they are actually dead. Anyone trying to navigate their own home during a night time power cut would rightly question the show. They had to have the evolution of sighted characters to keep the series going. It also takes real skill to have a 'baddie' character as annoying as the Queen. With vocals as horrific as a nail on a blackboard given the violence she should have been bumped off immediately. The stars are for Momoa who at least had some opportunity to display a tender side much rewound even if only the audience could enjoy it!
