The grand cinematography of the Canadian wilderness is beautiful. But for the most part, See proves that all the money in the world can't save a dud script. ... Nothing in the show works.
-
See is a lightly sci-fi trip through bland environments fronted by forgettable characters who exist according to some bizarre rules.
-
The story doesn’t gel well, and the video-game-like combat sequences can be exhausting. “See” is a camp-watch, and not much more.
-
Care was taken in the hiring of performers and consultants to make the presentation of blindness convincing. But no one seems to have done the more difficult, and boring, work of really thinking through how to make the premise convincing onscreen. For an Apple product, it’s a startling failure of engineering.
-
It is at best a fairly lazy copy of more effective genre entertainments’ tone, with messy and underbaked story filling in the gaps.
-
Saying it's not worth watching "See" is a little too easy. Still, with apologies to the owls, this show is strictly for the birds.
-
The majority of Knight’s series is a self-serious dirge, where sight-based wordplay like “So they just walk around with their eyes closed?” is delivered with a straight face. In the end, See’s myriad absurdities somehow add up only to a run-of-the-mill dystopia, where the children are the “chosen ones” and the tyrant must be overthrown.
-
See relies on graphically gory battle scenes to carry a largely incoherent story, but I found myself giggling far more often than its creators intended. You almost have to admire its goofy confidence… as wrongheaded as it might be.
-
Violent, grim, and exceptionally silly. It’s Bird Box meets Game of Thrones, but stupider.
-
The execution, particularly in scripts by Steven Knight (of January’s box-office bomb Serenity), is an unmitigated disaster. ... Not to put too fine a point on it, See is one of the worst TV series I’ve seen in years.

Nov 1, 2019Hilariously awful. Possibly one of the worst things I've ever seen on TV. Avoid like the plague.
