Apple Show 'See' Featured in Emmy Magazine With Free Three Month Apple TV+ Trial Offer for Subscribers

[MacRumors]

Emmy Magazine is offering readers a behind-the-scenes look at Apple's new drama "See," and subscribers get a free three-month trial of the upcoming Apple TV+ streaming service, which launches on November 1.

Apple's sci-fi thriller, which will debut on the service's launch day, stars Jason Momoa and Alfre Woodard, and is reported to have a budget of $15 million per episode. Both stars adorn the cover of the latest issue of the magazine, which is the official publication of the Television Academy.

Inside, the feature takes a deep dive into Apple's epic post apocalyptic drama, in which the world has been wiped out by a virus and the remaining survivors have all been rendered blind. The magazine describes the series as a high-quality "Game of Thrones" style show in terms of cinematic world-building.

The coverage also includes interviews with Apple VPs Jamie Erlicht and Zack van Amburg, who explain that dozens of visually impaired and blind actors were cast for the show, and consultants on blindness, biology and survival were hired to make the drama as realistic as possible.

Jason Momoa plays the lead role of Baba Voss, a fearless warrior, leader, and guardian. Momoa is well-known for his role as Khal Drogo in "Game of Thrones," as well as roles in "Aquaman," "Stargate Atlantis," and "Conan the Barbarian."

Alfre Woodard plays Paris, an advisor and a priestess. Woodard has starred in movies that include "12 Years a Slave," "Annabelle," and "Captain America: Civil War," and she has had roles in several TV shows, such as "Luke Cage," "Desperate Housewives," and "State of Affairs."

I dunno. The trailers for these shows look so boring. They’ll probably have a surprise hit with something more low key and these million dollar episode shows will flop pretty quickly. You can never second guess what the public will enjoy.

I bet Macrumors never thought they’d be reporting on the same content as TMZ

Yeah, they're going for the big names rather than a great premise. It's what they've done in the past years, going for big publicity rather than actual quality.

“See” looks really bad, but that’s just my opinion. I wonder how long Macrumors and other tech sites bother to cover TV shows just because they’re made by a tech company? I would imagine a little past launch and that’s it.

 

[SFO 1K]

Correction - not the official magazine of the Academy Awards (that's for Movies/Oscars).
This is the official magazine of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.

The trailers are atrocious. They’re running them on British tv and they look awful. I’m hoping they just chose the wrong clips for the trailers but after spending millions you would have thought they’d get the right producers in who can cut a good trailer. Which leads me to thinking the actually shows must be bad. I just don’t get it. They have so much money and have hired top tier talent how can they be getting the promotional aspect of drumming up the hype so wrong.

I was just thinking this Lol.

I personally don’t mind the ATV+ coverage. Again, people who don’t like it don’t have to read it. Just scroll. Plenty of people are interested though.

This place for the most part is the TMZ of the Apple world.

Maybe you're completely wrong? What's more likely?

 

[2010mini]

I like the idea behind “See” very different take on post apocalyptic shows.
I’ll reserve judgment until I actually see the show. (Pun intended)

I saw a tweet from a TV critic who has seen the first couple episodes of The Morning Show. He said it was much better than he expected. But being that this is Apple I expect people will say they hate these shows even if they really don’t.

Yeah See looks beautiful cinematically but also a horrible plot execution. Aka Beautiful flop.

 

[markgpearse]

I wonder how they will be able to do Apple product placement on a show like See.

 

[triton100]

Maybe you're completely wrong? What's more likely?

Maybe I am wrong. I hope so. But to say ‘which is more likely’ is akin to saying that you can predict the future. Which ‘is more than likely’ completely wrong.

 

[Baymowe335]

I can predict the future by using empirical evidence far better than ignoring said evidence.

Apple executes when they bet on something big, more often than not. They have a track record.

This endeavor is not just going to die that easily.

Well I hope so but I like I said their promotional trailers don’t do much to support that thesis. And they certainly don’t have a track record in executing within the world of Hollywood if carpool karaoke is anything to go by.
