In the twenty-first century, a virus wiped out most of humanity. Less than two million people survived, and their distant descendants have all lost their sense of sight. See takes place several centuries later, where society has found new ways to socially interact, build, hunt, and survive without vision. The concept of vision has become a myth, and any mention of it is considered heresy.
We discuss the final episode of the first season of See! We discuss the season's climaxes and the setup into season two.
Overall, the first season of See, is an incredibly rewarding watch from the action and dialogue that provide a rich canvas to explore the characters' stories.
In this episode, we see all the threads beginning to come together. Maghra and Queen Kane connect after being rescued by Tamacti Jun. We see a new side of Maghra as a ruler that will likely be contested by Queen Kane in the future. Tamacti Jun, the ever dutiful soldier, earns even more points as a loyal general and fighter. Baba Voss and the children continue on to the end of the journey. Baba is torn by bringing the kids he raised to a man that didn't want to be in their life. The episode ends at the edge of the unknown utopia of Jerlamarel.
In this episode, we learn more about Maghra's past and why she exiled herself. Boot's plays both sides of the leaving Baba Voss and his family trapped in a cave. Meanwhile, we see how Queen Kane is adjusting to her capture. Finally, the episode ends with Boot's making a powerplay to solidify his position as Maghra's right hand.
The breakdown of See continues with episode 5, "Plastic." The episode continues the repercussions of Queen Kane's choices. Baba Voss and his family get their stolen supplies back from a scavenger with an unlikely connection. The episode ends with Tamacti Jun's army catching up and Maghra's past being revealed.
The breakdown continues with episode 4 four, "The River" The village is attacked by the Witchfinder Army and pushes Baba Voss' family to make sacrifices and face new challenges. Meanwhile, Queen Kane faces struggles closer to home that will shape the fate of her people. Also notable in this episode are Kofun and Haniwa seeing how they navigate the world differently.
The third episode of See Season 1 is one of the best yet! From start to finish, you see how character decisions start affecting each other. Most notably, you learn how the twins develop into fully-fledged characters and begin to diverge in temperament. We also know more about Baba Voss' past and why he seems so hardened by life. The capstone of the episode is one of the best-executed fights scenes on TV series.
Jordan and Erich continue the breakdown of the TV Show See. Next, we'll be talking about the second episode of the series called Message In a Bottle as a title. This episode is much less action-packed and increases the tension between the main characters by setting up points of future contention. But, as with the last episode, we also talk about the small details that really sell the immersion in the story.
In this episode, Jordan and Erich are discussing the first episode of the Apple TV exclusive See. This will be a short-run series as we watch and talk about each episode of the season. Our goal is to provide insights into the storytelling and technical aspects of the series!
