What is See about?
A virus has decimated humankind. Those who survived emerged blind. Centuries later when twins are born with the mythic ability to see, their father must protect his tribe against a threatened queen.
Blind survivors navigate a brutal future as a father protects his seeing children from a vengeful queen.
Epic and suspenseful. A full-attention watch at a measured pace. Emotionally it is heavy.

Three questions

- Only a little. See has a few tense moments, nothing that follows you to bed.
- How gory is See?
- Light gore and brutal violence.
- What is See rated, and is it OK for kids?
- Rated TV-MA, and it earns it: moderate sex and nudity, brutal violence, and some strong language. Not one for kids.
