Streaming on: Apple TV+###Episodes viewed: 3 of 8###Despite featuring a sightless Jason Momoa beating up a bear, 2019’sSee got off to a bumpy start. Arriving in the vanguard of Apple’s assault on streaming, creator Steven Knight’s chimera of high fantasy, post-apocalyptic sci-fi and sensory exploration married the highest of concepts — a virus ravages the Earth, leaving survivors and all subsequent generations blind — with a quirky sensibility that bordered on the absurd. With merely’barely three episodes available to critics, reactions were harsh: the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue ’s slow start leaving viewers cold and bamboozled by its odd nomenclature (Baba Voss, Tamacti Jun, Bow Lion) and gonzo mythology (masturbating to commune with God being one sure way to boost church attendance).###But in/with regard to’concerning’regarding those who persevered, See proved richly rewarding, Knight painting a vivid picture of a society utterly recalibrated in/with regard to’concerning’regarding four senses instead of five. But in the world of the blind, it transpired, the sighted aren’t so much kings as hunted down and killed in/with regard to’concerning’regarding witches, and the re-emergence of sight to a sightless world in/with regard to’concerning’regarding med the spine of a first season narrative that picked up speed as it went.###Bold and batshit in equal measure.###This second-year establish s on that foundation, passing reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue runner duties to Jonathan Tropper, whose credentials in/with regard to’concerning’regarding bone-crunching action were well-established by Banshee and Warrior. With laborious exposition out of the way, Tropper focuses on expanding See’s world, introducing the aggressive, martial society of Trivantes. Here we discover what a thriving city in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the sightless might resemble: streets lined with guide wires to aid navigation, scent-artists painting pictures with smell, and citizens distinguished through a tactile combination of knotted IDs and scarification. Not to mention buskers warbling mournful Rolling Stones covers in/with regard to’concerning’regarding tips.###In the heart of Trivantes, we meet a growling Dave Bautista as Baba’s eodd’peculiar d younger brother, Edo. Making the conflict more personal than that against last year’s witchfinders, Tropper zeroes in on character, establish ing out Baba’s shady backstory through his hulking, rage-fuelled sibling. Baba’s children are also given more to do, Haniwa striking up a relationship with Edo’s (secretly) sighted Lieutenant, while son Kufun (Archie Madekwe) in/with regard to’concerning’regarding ms an unlikely alliance with a sympathetic witchfinder, played by Hoon Lee. Meanwhile, Queen Kane’s penchant in/with regard to’concerning’regarding wank-praying is alive and well, the psychotic ruler having installed herself in a new capital, pushing the Big Lie that it was the Trivantian army, rather than her own hand, that brought her in/with regard to’concerning’regarding mer seat to ruin.###Bold and batshit in equal measure, See might not be the most accessible of reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue s, and its penchant in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the bizarre is occasionally goofy, but the series boasts a rich tapestry of world-establish ing and an expanding story with real emotional punch. All of which is framed by innovatively choreographed action that reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue cases See’s ‘blindfighting’ to spectacular effect. Already renewed in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a third season, Knight’s unorthodox series has grown into one of the most interesting and original works of speculative fiction on television, one that deserves to be ‘seen’ by a rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent deal more individual than it has.
