Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista’s new film, The Wrecking Crew, has cemented their reputation as a dynamic and captivating duo, but their compelling “Jason Momoa brothers war” story actually began in Apple TV’s acclaimed series See. This intense sibling rivalry unfolds within a post-apocalyptic world and showcases the actors’ extraordinary on-screen presence.
See, which premiered in 2019, gradually built an impressive audience, especially by its second season when it became Apple TV’s most-watched returning drama. With a near 30% boost in viewers, the series has maintained a spot among the platform’s Top 10 globally, driven in large part by the arrival of Dave Bautista as a key character.
A Distinctive World and Compelling Storyline in See
Created by Steven Knight, known for Peaky Blinders, See is set in a brutal future where humanity has lost the sense of sight after a catastrophic virus reduced the global population to under two million. Subsequent generations were born blind, forcing society to revert to tribal, hunter-gatherer lifestyles and medieval ways of survival. In this sightless world, the concept of vision is a legend—until the birth of children who can see changes everything.
Jason Momoa plays Baba Voss, a formidable warrior and the leader of the Alkenny tribe. Baba is not the biological father but fiercely protective of twins gifted with sight, a secret that puts them and their family in grave danger. Baba must defend his loved ones from the Witchfinder General, the ruthless military leader dedicated to eradicating all who possess sight to maintain control.
Season 2 introduces Dave Bautista as Edo Voss, Baba’s estranged brother and the central antagonist. Edo’s reemergence intensifies the family’s fractured bonds and propels a dark rivalry that shapes much of the season’s storyline. Bautista’s portrayal marked his first major role on television, adding a new layer of psychological tension to the unfolding drama.
The series also features intriguing figures such as Jerlamarel, a mysterious sighted man who is hunted for heresy; Paris, the Alkenny’s spiritual shaman; the fearsome Witchfinder General Tamacti Jun; and Queen Sibith Kane of the Payan Kingdom, whose complex role elevates the political stakes throughout the show.
Bitter Brothers Clash Amidst Rising Tensions
The fierce conflict between Jason Momoa’s Baba and Dave Bautista’s Edo forms the emotional core of See’s second season, energizing its suspense and action. Both characters are physically imposing yet remarkably nuanced, with their enmity stemming from deep childhood grievances, elevating the personal stakes beyond the larger political and social upheaval surrounding them.
Their confrontations explode into brutal combat sequences, with contrasting fighting techniques that reveal much about their personalities. Baba’s method is calculated and animalistic, utilizing keen sensory perception to adapt and survive, while Edo relies on raw aggression and overwhelming force. The battles take place in atmospheric, ruined settings, enhancing the story’s primal intensity.
This sibling rivalry forces Baba to face his past and fight with even greater resolve to protect his family, knowing that Edo thrives on vengeance and destruction. Their clash symbolizes more than personal animosity—it’s a struggle that amplifies the series’ drama and prompts viewers to grapple with loyalty and justice in a chaotic world.
Momoa and Bautista’s performances as estranged brothers locked in a deadly feud transform See into far more than a standard sci-fi series. The raw emotional power and cinematic fight scenes contribute to making See a standout among Apple TV’s offerings, with the brothers’ war driving the narrative tension every step of the way.
For those interested in witnessing intense character dynamics and a richly imagined future, See’s entire three-part season is available to stream on Apple TV, where the epic Macabre story of family and survival continues to captivate audiences.
