Horrible show in my opinion. Should have been a movie. The acting sucks. There is no way it is believable that everyone is blind and able to differentiate the enemy from the ally. Check it out for yourself and let me know your thoughts.

Ditto, I fully expected to hate TMS but I liked it the most. See, I could barely sit through first episode and just passed the rest of it off. FAM is kind of mixed reaction as it’s a slow burn, but intriguing nevertheless. 😁
See had a good start, but For All Mankind is a horrible wreck like all these alternative history movies. The real space race was much more intriguing than the fake one.
I "see" what you did there.

Spent my Sunday (after football) watching episode 3 of "Watchmen." Wow!
Perhaps unironically, they still couldn't see how mediocre the show would become.
Yeah same here. I appreciate the warnings. I thought this being Apple, all the shows would be okay to watch with pre teens. I suppose teens and preteens are aware of all such things at this point and it’s not like I need to shelter them like I used to, but we don’t need to sit down as a family to that and be mortified looking around at each other as someone dives for the remote.
Exactly. I haven't "seen" See yet but everything in a film or TV show is intentional, give it time and it will make sense on why this was put in there. Or don't. That's your choice but I can guarantee you, it was intentional.
for me ‘For all man kind’ 1st.......then ‘Morning Show’ and ‘See‘
And as for Dickinsons... did anyone bother to read a few pages of the script before it was approved for production? What is up with the Bogus Accents and Linguistic Incoherence !... it is embarrassing... i tuned out after about 20 mins... could not take it anymore!
Overall .. i am enjoying a few shows here ... BUT what is up with this heavy bias toward this gung-ho women lib thing..
It is too “in your face”! ... And a bit presumptuous and over assertive. Hey Apple we know... this is the 21st century already.
( Morning show, Dickinson , For all man kind, Hala, and for Christ's sake even the Elephant’s hero is a female elephant) way too much .. it actually has a a negative impact when it is this ‘pushed’)
I hope these are perils of infancy and that in time (soon) things balance out and interface also get much better.
"See" director Francis Lawrence, who also directed the "Hunger Games" movies, recently sat down for an interview with Business Insider where he shared some details on the filming of "See" and the research that went into the show.
According to Lawrence, rumors that "See" cost $240 million for two seasons were incorrect. "See" is "an expensive show," said Lawrence, but that budget "got blown out of proportion." It's nowhere near the scale of other big shows like "Game of Thrones."
When filming "See," Lawrence had a "think tank" with blind consultants, an evolutionary biologist, and a survivalist to brainstorm ideas. "See," for those unfamiliar with the show, is set in a post-apocalyptic timeline where most of the world was wiped out by a virus, and those who were left were rendered blind.The actors in the show are made to look blind using special effects rather than contacts, as Lawrence said that it was impractical to use contacts for so many people due to the risk of cornea issues and the cost of hiring optometrists.
While much of the cast of "See" can see, some of the main tribe are low vision or blind. "See" aimed to find low vision or blind actors, and hopes to improve upon that in the second season.Much of the show was filmed out in the wilderness and "pretty far from any cities," which made it difficult. The battle in episode one, for example, took four days to film because it involved a lot of people and a lot of stunts.
"See" has a rather surprising introductory scene introducing Queen Kane, who is the queen of the region, which Lawrence also commented on. When he saw that part of the script, he said, he "loved it."Lawrence's full interview, which goes into even more detail on filming, can be read over on Business Insider. "See," which stars Jason Momoa and Alfre Woodard, is available on Apple TV+ now.

I turned the show off in the first 20 minutes.
Let’s see a quick recap:
1) world population destroyed by virus
2) leaves remaining humans blind
3) technology gone
4) boring
Not even close to GOT. A cross between ‘The 100’ and ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘Vikings’ and ‘The Walking Dead’ ==== BAD
For All Mankind is off to a great start. I was hooked in the first episode and binge watched all 3 last weekend, and I'm looking forward to the next episode. I've only watched the first episode of See and it didn't really hook me, but I'm sure I'll continue on with it soon enough.
I saw two hours of See and I’m positive to watch the whole season.

For me it is the opposite, I just started to watch two and they are incredible
unfortunately diversity alone does not make it a good show. tv+ is as disappointing as expected. art was steve‘s department, diversity is tim‘s
if they manage to deliver content to a broad range of different devices and to as many people as possible, soon the screenwriters will knock on apple's doors, begging them to release their material.
those shows are just the very beginning.

Believe it or not, sexuality is one of the cornerstones of the human experience. Yes, our current culture tends to be ashamed by it and hide it, but why does this new "blind" society have to do so? Physical sensation and other senses would be extremely heightened in a blind society. I guess I don't see this scene as offensive or unbelievable unless you view it through the lens of contemporary culture. The extend to which societal norms would change if everyone was suddenly blind (if we survived at all) would surely be very extreme. There are some unbelievable things in the show like fashion being still very visual, but I don't see this necessarily as one of them.
Personally I find this show to be very interesting so far and the input from the expert consultants is apparent.
Why would I switch to a service full of cartoons and men wearing tights? Apple TV Plus already has more interesting content for adults than Disney will ever have.
It’s only been a week and I’m already sick of Apple TV and all it’s ads...

Well, so is (was?) Netflix and Amazon and Google. They're not mutually exclusive. Microsoft and Sony weren't gaming companies, until they were. I do think Apple has a way to go, there is a large learning curve to becoming a powerhouse content producer. They're going to mistakes and have some mis-fires. Probably they have a bit too much hubris and indulgence at the moment as well. But it doesn't mean they won't get there, they certainly have resources to spare.
The first episode of see was meh. But each one after has gotten better and better. I'm really enjoying it now. First episode had me worried.
I enjoy the morning show.
Haven't watched the other shows yet.

From the people who became blind through the virus. They weren't born blind. And they then passed down what had happened to their kids and so on. In time it became story. And then myth.

You are kidding. Right? Not to start something but if people from 2000 years ago could see us now they would use a similar quote to describe us. I thought the scene did a great job making you feeling connected to the characters while still feeling distant from them. It was an intimate way to introduce a character whose motives are unlikely to resinate with the audience. It must take a lot of work to tell a compelling story about the bind via a visual medium.
Make no mistake, this is a compelling story.
If they were blinded by a viral infection...why are the newborns also blind?
It somehow affected the germline? Or are they all persistently infected?
