See season 1

 Time for a series I stumbled upon while scrolling through various streaming services, the science fiction series See.

 

It already has 3 seasons, but let's start out with the first one and go from there...

 

It is the 21st century, and humanity has been nearly wiped out by a virus, the survivors having been left blind, a new genetic trait in mankind.  The series takes places several centuries later of these events, and society has found new ways to survive, albeit at a technological step back.   Modern technologies have become stuff of legends, and vision has become a myth.

 

But then two children are born to Maghra, a newcomer in the Alkenny tribe (led by Jason Momoa), whom have received the gift of sight.  This leads a witchfinder army, send by Queen Kane from the city of Kanzua, come to search for them.  A bloody battle ensues, Baba Voss leads his surviving people away from the settlement, now that it's location is known.  While hunting, Baba Voss encounters Jerlamarel, the father of the babies, who asks him to keep the children safe and raise them as his own.  Once of age, they will receive a box of "knowledge" at their age of twelve.

 

At the age, they open the box to discover books inside, and the children spend years learning the knowledge contained in the books, as the Witchfinder fails to find them.  Kofun, one of the twins, is captured by slave traders at a festival, but is freed and return to the tribe, only to find the Witchfinder about to mount an attack as their location has again been betrayed.  Baba Voss, Maghra, the wise of the village Paris, the twins Kofun and Haniwa and a girl named Bow Lion escape over the river on a raft.  As Queen Kane prevents a conspiracy on her life, the children receive a letter from their father providing directions to his location.

 

Queen Kane destroys her village, but is attacked by assassins and taken to the City of Worms, where she is forced into slavery by it's leader, Cutter.  The group on the river encounter Boots, another child of Jerlamarel and able to see.  He joins them on their journey as they are chased by the Witchhunter, as Maghra reveals herself to him as the missing princess from the House Kane.  She had been chosen as the successor years ago by the dying king, but her sister placed a coup and took the throne.  Boots betrays the group, stating he saw Maghra killed and leads them to a cave where they are captured.

 

Cutter cuts the royal seal out of Queen Kane's chest, and sends a ransom note to the Witchhunter.  He tortures the messengers to find the location of the City of Worms, and finds the injured queen.  Cutter is killed by Queen Kane, as she deduces Maghra's identity.  Baba Voss and the group reach Jerlamarel's, but only Kofun and Haniwa are granted access.  They learn their father sees himself as the savious of mankind, a class of human above the general blind population, and that he wants to use them as a bargaining chip.  Baba Voss didn't trust it all, and sneaked into the house, freeing Kofun and blinding Jerlamarel in a fight.  But Haniwa has been handed over to a general that was looking for the children, Edo Voss, his brother.  Queen Kane is forced to kill her Witchhunter, and she adresses the army as her and Maghra being joint rulers...

 

Well, it's not a bad series, but I can't say I was very wild about it.  Eventually I will watch the other seasons, but it won't be in the near future I'm afraid...
