Reviewed by Justin Dekker July 18, 2025

Originally airing on Apple+, 'See: The Complete Series (2019 - 2022)' makes its way to physical media in its Blu-ray debut courtesy of Fifth Season. In a post-apocalyptic world where virtually everyone is blind, Baba Voss (Jason Mamoa, 'Aquaman', 'Zack Snyder's Justice League') must protect his children who have the ability to see from the evil Queen Kane (Sylvia Hoeks, 'Blade Runner 2049', 'Twilight of the Gods'). All 24 episodes are included in this six Blu-ray set. A slipcover is included, but a Digital Code is not.

The future, as it turns out, is a tough place. Rather than some idyllic nirvana, recent television series posit something far more bleak and dire. Battlestar Galactica (2004 - 2009) envisioned a future where mankind was on the run, struggling to survive in a fight against a technology they created. The 100 (2014 - 2020) follows the descendants of those aboard a space station who where the only survivors of a nuclear armageddon that that destroyed the earth generations before, who, again, are struggling to survive. The video game adaptation and current streaming darling, The Last of Us (2023 - present) shows a world after total societal collapse due to a fungus that turns people into zombies. Even the recent Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022 - present), a property which typically has a fairly rosy outlook on the days yet to come, displays a darker tone. See (2019 - 2022) walks this same grim path. The world, as we know it today, lies in ruin due to a virus that killed the vast majority of the population and rendered the survivors blind. Even with smaller numbers, the ability to live in harmony is beyond humanity's grasp. The feudal society that exists exhibits all the same flaws and faults that fill our history books, museums, and modern days. Far from being a harbinger of good things to come, most view the small number of the recently-born sighted children to be witches, who, in historical fashion, must be burned.

Baba Voss (Jason Momoa) is the adoptive father of two such sighted children, Haniwa (Nesta Cooper, Dope Thief), and Kofun (Archie Madekwe, Midsommar). Together with their mother, Maghra (Hera Milmar, Mortal Engines), they'll battle against the maniacal Queen Kane in attempt to build a better world. Alfre Woodard (Star Trek: First Contact) also lends her considerable talents to approximately half of the episodes. Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy) uses his bulk to add menace to Season Three's Edo Voss, while the effortless arrogance of David Hewlett's Tormada creates a far more dangerous threat in Season Four. In order to truly enjoy the series one must first accept what they're presented with at face value, never scrutinizing too hard lest show's central conceit should start to unravel. As an example, absent any Daredevil-like superpowers, somehow blind soldiers can expertly navigate their environments, and for instance, unerringly run through unfamiliar winding corridors during battle with nary a stumble or wrong turn. Also, since warfare plays a huge part in the series, somehow fighters only attack their adversaries in large-scale battle scenes. There's a longer list of things that stick out, but those are the top two that nagged at me which the series never even attempted to explain. While some people have either been born with or developed extraordinary abilities such as Shadows (who in D&D terms can move silently) and seers who receive visions of the future (a staple in any fantasy-type story), most have no such power. Along the way though, despite its unique premise, other post-apocalyptic story tropes such as cannibalism and religious zealotry also weave their way into the mix. Though the final two episodes feel a bit padded, the skill of the cast and the overall production of the series, however, are what allow the viewer to look past any shortcomings and serve to make it as watchable/bingeable as it is.

While the series is set in and around Pennsylvania, various Canadian locations in Vancouver and Ontario substitute for Pittsburgh, the Penn State campus, and other non-descript Pennsylvanian locations. As a result, the environments though which Baba Voss, Haniwa, and Kofun travel are frequently rather breathtaking, and thankfully the camera often allows a chance to take them in. Rolling hills give way to vast mountains, and wooded valleys, rivers, and waterfalls are in abundance. Just to remind the viewer of the state of world in which all this beauty is found, decaying cityscapes, powerlines, and satellite dishes are all shown slowly being reclaimed by the green world. Excellent practical sets provide a real world for the characters to inhabit and explore, and the fight choreography showcased in each episode is engaging. Its worth mentioning, too, that the show's TV-MA rating was earned almost exclusively for the often quite graphic violence that is the stock and trade for Momoa's Baba Voss, his closes allies, and his limitless legions of adversaries.

See: The Complete Series Blu-ray Movie, Video Quality 

See: The Complete Series has a very respectable 1080p presentation. The series has a very distinctive look based on a cool color palette with a decided blue push the dominates most of the episodes. Season Four, though, sees a bit of variation in several desert-bound scenes as that blue vanishes, replaced by a yellowish/sepia push to compliment/enhance the dusty, sun-drenched setting. Regardless of whether the on-screen action is occurring in the forest, Pensa, or elsewhere, colors are always well-saturated within the established palette. Because of the manipulated palettes and the post-apocalyptic world that is home to the action, primaries are in short supply, and there are only two, both weddings, where I found myself dazzled by the colors on display. Otherwise, dirty, aged, and distressed are words of the day as pertains to color. Skin tones are realistic and healthy. Fine detail is typically very high, with battle damage easy to spot on leathers and armor, nicks are visible on weapons, stitching is discernible on clothing and leather goods, and fine lines, stubble, and stray hair are visible on the cast - as are the growing number of scars. Interiors display decaying and worn walls, floors, and woodwork, and locations like the House of Enlightenment and the hydroelectric dam that originally served as the Payan capital reveal countless details to enjoy. The largest obstacle the video presentation has to overcome is self-inflicted, that of a number of scenes that are relentlessly dark, such as a love scene and a battle scene in Season Two, Episode Six. Here, there are moments where blacks crush detail, and onscreen action can almost resemble a shadow play. This, however, is not a fault of the transfer and seems to be a stylistic/artistic choice.

See's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is generally well-balanced and absorbing. Voices are typically front-and-center focused and are prioritized nicely, always easy to hear and understandable even in the midst of the most heated battles. Music is precisely rendered, and the atmospheric music and the score are often pushed through the surrounds, enveloping the listener. Surrounds also allow arrows, crossbow bolts, ropes, and flying debris to make their way realistically through the soundstage, keeping the viewer in the middle of the mayhem. Ambient sounds such as voices, birds, animals, the crackle of fire, and the like are also common. The track may not be consistently immersive, but it is so more often than not. Directionality is accurate. The bass is up to the task of adding a healthy bottom-end to music, adds a boom to the closing of heavy doors, punches and body slams, and provides concussive force to the explosions that arrive with some regularity in Season Four. Coupled with plenty of surround involvement, those are some of the most sonically impressive moments of the series.

In accordance with a good deal of other futuristic programming, the world of See is pretty bleak. While it can't quite match the overall quality of the rebooted sci-fi series Battlestar Galactica or the purely fantasy series Game of Thrones, the somewhat derivative, overly melodramatic, and sometimes predictable See: The Complete Series still has merit due to its solid and committed cast, terrific production value, and gorgeous locations. Those who were saddened by his relatively early departure from Game of Thrones will find much to enjoy in Jason Momoa's performance Baba Voss, who is every bit the legendary warrior of unparalleled strength, cunning, bravery, and viscousness as that series' Khal Drogo. I'm always excited to see content that originated on a streaming platform make its way to physical media, and See: The Complete Series has been given a solid 1080p presentation and a muscular DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track to enliven both the numerous fights and tranquil nature-bound scenes with equal ease. For those looking for a solidly entertaining pot-apocalyptic sci-fi/fantasy adventure, See: The Complete Series comes recommended.
