See Breakdown Episode 2 | Message In A Bottle

Jordan and Erich continue the breakdown of the TV Show See. 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 serves to increase 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.

“See” takes place in the distant future, after a deadly virus decimated humankind. Those who survived emerged blind. Jason Momoa stars as Baba Voss — the father of twins born centuries later with the mythic ability to see — who must protect his tribe against a powerful yet desperate queen who wants the twins destroyed. Alfre Woodard stars as Paris, Baba Voss’s spiritual leader.
