Watching pop culture bicker with itself is a rare hoot. Last Sunday, HBO premiered “House of the Dragon,” the network’s first “Game of Thrones” spin-off; tacitly acknowledging the medieval fantasy misery fest’s brand, the pilot episode builds to a birth scene shot with grisly excess and ending with mother and child wrapped in funeral shrouds. This week, Apple TV+ kicks off the third and final season of its own “Thrones” spin-off, “See,” with a birth scene that cares about such antediluvian details as tension, stakes, and basic empathy.

As summer begins the slow wind down over the next month, television has plenty of offerings to keep viewers glued to their screens. With an extremely strong slate so far this year, it’s been difficult to keep up with all of the buzzed-about shows and cult favorites that have left people talking long after the respective finales and August doesn’t appear to offer much of a reprieve.

When Apple TV+ launched in 2019, the dystopian sci-fi drama “See” was among the streamer’s first original series. A rocky critical reception didn’t stop the show from earning a renewal, and in its second season it emerged as the platform’s most watched drama. Now, the series is set to return for a third and final season. An action-packed trailer promises the return of Jason Momoa as Baba Voss, last seen withdrawing into self-imposed exile after killing his antagonstic brother, Edo.

It’s been a couple of years, but Jason Momoa’s “See” was one of the very first original series that arrived on Apple TV+ in its infancy. Now, as the series approaches Season 3, it’s apparently time to call it quits.

As seen in the teaser for “See” Season 3, the post-apocalyptic action series is ending its run after its next batch of episodes.

Eventually, whether you like it or not, pop culture is due to be yoked by the colossal presence of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” via an army of cynically motivated spinoffs set to air starting in 2022. (The preferred nomenclature, thanks to the magic of rebranding, is “successor series.”) Two years, the series’ finale pissed off the majority of its fanbase for varied reasons, though the common ground they share appears to be that they’re bad at watching TV.

Following a rather slow month for television aside from standouts such as Apple TV+’s “Ted Lasso,” it would seem like we’re back in the swing of things with plenty of series debuts and follow-ups returning this month and a lot of big names accompanying them. Nicole Kidman will once again gear up for a splashy television role, this time positioned more as the antagonist figure while Joseph Gordon-Levitt tries to do it all in his series “Mr.

When AppleTV+ launched in the early winter/late fall of 2019, one of their biggest flagship shows was “See,” a post-apocalyptic thriller starring Jason Momoa, about a world where most people have gone blind or partially blind and live in primitive tribes. From director Francis Lawrence (“The Hunger Games“), the series, set in a brutal and primitive future, hundreds of years after humankind has lost the ability to see scored a second and third season not too long after its premiere; a big vote of confidence.

The dystopian series “See” is coming back for another season. The Jason Momoa-led project utilizes sci-fi themes to tell the story of a father’s quest to save his children. Much like last season, the goals remain one step ahead of the complications that face Momoa’s Baba Voss. Unfortunately, this time one of the greatest obstacles came from something all too real; COVID caused the set to shut down completely.

Sometimes a concept takes itself so seriously, it turns endlessly amusing by extension. Writer/producer Steven Knight is certainly no stranger to big-swing ideas. One of the men responsible for the BBC drama “Peaky Blinders,” the one-man-driving-in-a-car movie “Locke,” and “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire,” Knight is such a ridiculously prolific writer and creator that he almost seems to be churning out loglines at this point in his career.
