SEE

A fun fact about the “See” TV series is that it involved extensive collaboration with visually impaired consultants to ensure the accurate and respectful portrayal of a blind society. Joe Strechay, a blind associate producer, worked closely with the show’s cast and crew to provide insight and guidance on how to realistically depict the characters’ movements, interactions, and the use of non-visual senses.

The actors, including Jason Momoa, participated in a “blindness boot camp” where they learned how to perform tasks and navigate spaces without the use of sight. This immersive experience helped them better understand the challenges faced by visually impaired individuals and enabled them to bring authenticity to their roles.

This level of commitment to accurately representing blindness in the show has been praised by critics and viewers, and it highlights the importance of inclusivity and representation in the entertainment industry.
