General Review

Parent's Guide to See

See is an Apple TV+ science fiction drama series set centuries after a devastating virus has rendered the surviving human population blind. In this post-apocalyptic world, humanity has adapted to live without sight, developing heightened other senses and establishing new tribal societies. The central conflict arises with the unexpected birth of sighted twins, Kofun and Haniwa, to Maghra, the wife of tribal chieftain Baba Voss. The ability to see is considered a myth and heresy, leading to a brutal 'witch hunt' orchestrated by the tyrannical Queen Kane, who seeks to capture and eliminate the sighted. The series follows Baba Voss's relentless efforts to protect his family and tribe from internal and external threats, as the existence of sighted individuals challenges the established order and ignites violent power struggles. The show is known for its intense action sequences and exploration of themes such as family, survival, and the impact of prejudice in a world reimagined without vision.

Things to Consider

Violence

See portrays a brutal and primitive post-apocalyptic world characterized by frequent and intense graphic violence, including hand-to-hand combat, tribal warfare, and large-scale destruction.

The show features numerous violent confrontations, such as intense 'hand-in-hand combat' between tribes, which is often choreographed as 'top tier' and depicted with significant impact. In Season 3, a battle scene showcases 'explosives went off and essentially wiped out the army in an instant,' demonstrating large-scale, deadly conflict. The overarching narrative of a 'witch hunt' for sighted children also drives a pervasive atmosphere of persecution and violence.
