A new vision of the future.

DramaSci-Fi & FantasyAction & Adventure

A virus has decimated humankind. Those who survived emerged blind. Centuries later when twins are born with the mythic ability to see, their father must protect his tribe against a threatened queen.

Why watch See

Jason Momoa commands this post-apocalyptic epic with a ferocity that rivals his best streaming work—here he's a tribal father willing to burn the world down to protect his sighted children in a civilization built entirely around blindness. The premise alone is a high-concept reversal that See executes with genuine stakes: imagine The Last of Us meets Game of Thrones, but filtered through a sensory deprivation that forces the show to reinvent how action, intimacy, and power are conveyed on screen.

The craft here is meticulous. Director Francis Lawrence builds a tactile, soundscape-driven world where violence erupts with visceral brutality and dialogue carries the weight of survival. The pacing swings between intimate character moments and large-scale tribal warfare, each season deepening the mythology without losing sight of the intimate family drama at its core. Momoa's performance grounds it all—raw, protective, and unexpectedly vulnerable.

This is for anyone who devoured HBO's prestige dramas or craved the ambition of Avatar: The Last Airbender's world-building. You'll walk away obsessed with how the show weaponizes sound design, invested in the moral complexity of its antagonists, and ready to binge deeper into a world that rewards your attention. The cold opens alone are stunning—you'll be thinking about the opening sequence for days.

TL;DR: We aren't in conflict because of what we can do. We are in conflict because we exist. This series does a great job in explaining the human condition. It tackles the idea that the gods/God took away our sight after years trapped underground (in nuclear silos) by basically shouting at us with "God thunder" (nuclear weapons). Of course, the word 'nuclear' becomes lost after decades/centuries underground, an…Show more
