Review of See

See (2019–2022)
9/10
Abandon logic and just go with it!
3 January 2023
"See" goes some way to fill the void left by GOT! Sure it has some derivative elements from other post-apocalyptic stories, but its premise is completely fresh and thought-provoking. Of course, it requires suspending a lot of disbelief - for example, that people who are 100% blind can travel long distances across unknown terrain without cracking their noggins into trees or falling off cliffs. Or that in the chaotic scrum of battle, each fighter knows, without sight, whether they are attacking friend or foe. Or even that they can move from room to room with minimal touch to guide their way. No matter. Just go with it. The story is intriguing and each episode is surprising, exciting and leaves you eager to learn what happens next. The fights and battle scenes are beautifully choreographed. Jason Mamoa is a stand-out amongst the characters - a fierce warrior with a past, made of stern ethics and possessing a heart of gold. There are certainly quibbles - completely puzzling decisions made by the characters and plot leaps. The American accents and colloquialisms were jarring to me in this world. However, the three-season story arc was completely satisfying to this viewer. It's a gem I stumbled upon and I'm glad I did.
