See (2019)

See (2019) is a dystopian science fiction television series created by Steven Knight, known for his work on Peaky Blinders. The show is set in a future where humanity has lost the ability to see, with the vast majority of the population living in a world of total blindness. The series delves into themes of survival, power, family, and the rediscovery of an ancient technology: sight.

The series is set in a post-apocalyptic world, centuries after a cataclysmic event has wiped out most of the human population. In this new world, humans have evolved without sight, relying on their heightened senses of touch, sound, and smell to navigate their surroundings. The knowledge of vision has become a myth, a mysterious and almost sacred concept that few believe in.

The central story of See revolves around Baba Voss (played by Jason Momoa), a fierce and protective warrior who leads a tribe of survivors. Baba’s world is turned upside down when his wife, Maghra (played by Hera Hilmar), gives birth to twins who are mysteriously able to see. This extraordinary event sets the stage for the conflict at the heart of the series.

The ability of the twins, Kofun and Haniwa, to see is not just a wonder—it is a danger. In this world, sight is seen as a powerful and forbidden skill, one that could disrupt the social order and put the twins and their family at risk. As word of the children’s sight spreads, different factions vie for control of them, hoping to use their unique abilities for political and military advantage.
