Jason Momoa’s – After three seasons on Apple TV+, See has quietly turned into a weekend-binge favorite—thanks to its apocalyptic premise, a Baba Voss storyline built around newly sighted children, and powerhouse supporting performances that finally helped the show find its fo
Jason Momoa doesn’t just stride into trouble in See—he leads it. As Baba Voss. the badass warrior at the center of the Alkenny Tribe. he’s tasked with protecting his people after a discovery that changes everything: his adopted children are born with the long-lost gift of sight. In a world where nearly everyone has been shaped by a virus that wipes out most of humanity. that kind of difference doesn’t just inspire hope. It draws hunters.
See runs on that constant pressure. The futuristic. post-apocalyptic series takes place after a virus has killed most humans. leaving the survivors in a society that has learned to adapt around touch. smell. and hearing. Children born after the catastrophe come into the world blind. and sight becomes a dangerous exception—one that the Witchfinders hunt down relentlessly.
The series was created by Steven Knight. best known for Peaky Blinders. and See first arrived on Apple TV+ in November 2019. Its early buzz never matched Peaky Blinders’ reach. but the show’s premise was always built for bingeing: it’s a high-stakes survival story where the rules of the world are strict. and one new development can tilt the entire future.
At the center of the action is Baba Voss’ family and the grief and responsibility that comes with it. Hera Hilmar plays Maghra, the wife of Baba Voss. Her love for her husband is unmistakable. but emotion doesn’t make her weak—she’s a born leader loyal to her family. and her presence brings depth to Momoa’s performance. The show leans hard into the idea that Baba Voss isn’t just a muscle-bound hero. His children give him the reason to fight. and their existence forces him to act in ways that are both physical and deeply personal.
Season 2 is where See really shifts into gear—especially through its standout supporting cast.
Dave Bautista joins in Season 2 as Edo Voss, Baba’s brother. Edo isn’t framed as a hero. He’s Baba’s younger sibling and the Commander General for the Trivantian army. and the family drama doesn’t stay buried—Edo’s revenge against his own blood drives him forward. It makes Bautista’s villain presence feel purposeful instead of simply loud.
But Edo isn’t the only push-and-pull conflict that matters.
Sylvia Hoeks plays the evil Queen Sibeth Kane, and her character provides an entirely different kind of threat. Maghra is the exact opposite of Sibeth Kane—someone easy to hate, with Hoeks bringing enough talent to make her someone to fear even more than Bautista’s character.
Standing by Sibeth Kane is Tamacti Jun, portrayed by Christian Camargo. His role is built around death, but what could have become a straightforward figure becomes one of the series’ most fascinating characters thanks to an arc filled with twists.
See also resists the temptation to flatten its central children into simple mirrors of each other. Kofun is played by Archie Madewke, and Haniwa is played by Nesta Cooper. The show doesn’t make the brother and sister too similar; it keeps them layered. with strengths and weaknesses that feel like their own identities rather than devices for someone else’s journey.
Visually, See was never shy about scale. The show comes off more like a big-budget Hollywood film than a typical streamer series. with standout cinematography and phenomenal fight scenes. Even so. there was something missing early on—Season 1 was described as a series still finding its way. with a premise that carried “too much going on” and not enough emphasis on character.
Season 2 changes that. The Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer nearly doubled, moving from 44% to 83%. The second season kept the high-octane fight scenes and gore intact, while also remembering to build up characters and give audiences a reason to care beyond the action.
Viewers noticed, too. See’s first season debuted in November 2019, helping get Apple TV off the ground a year before Ted Lasso came on the scene. When Season 2 debuted in September 2021, it set a then-viewership record for the streamer, with viewership up 30% from what it had been in 2019.
That growth tracks with how Momoa’s performance reads across the run. While See isn’t what he’s most known for. it’s positioned as proof of how multifaceted he is—putting “his all” into the role and delivering equal parts compelling physical and emotional work. It’s a complex world anchored by an original premise. feature-film-worthy camerawork. and characters you can’t help but grow to love or hate.
See lasted three seasons. If you skipped it the first time around, it’s not just the action that’s worth revisiting—it’s how the show settled into itself, season by season, until the whole thing clicked into something easy to binge.
