C series and the dark and unjust future
The series “C” belongs to several overlapping genres, between science fiction, fantasy and adventure, as its events revolve in a future in which humans lose their sense of sight, and adapt through generations to life without sight, and establish societies that protect them from the harsh nature in which they live, and the various dangers of Other human colonies one of which is controlled by an obsessive queen.
Over the generations, the sense of sight turns into a legend closer to the curse. When two sighted children are born, it becomes obligatory to conceal the matter until adolescence, when they discover that they are not just a genetic mutation; Rather, their presence has many indications and an impact on the future of humans on Earth. Their adventures begin with Papa Voss, their adopted father, and the leader of the tribe, who has to protect his family from diaspora, his children from death, and his community from destruction.
In the second season, Papa Voss fights to reunite his torn family and break away from the war and politics that surrounds it; But the further away he gets, the deeper he plunges into conflicts, especially with the appearance of his brother and his enemy at the same time, which threatens his family more.
Conflict between critics and audience

The specialists gave the series only 43%, while the average viewer gave it 85%, which clearly shows the extent of the discrepancy in the level of the series. , who was able to exploit the interesting story that contains mystery and excitement to attract the audience, to be considered the most important work of the emerging platform, especially when the story is combined with very distinctive visual effects, and filming in the forests of Canada with the famous actor in the main role.
But at the same time, the series was technically full of problems, such as the lack of clarity in the story of the series and the role of the two sighted boys and their relationship with the biological father until the final episodes of the first season, as well as the poor performance of almost the entire crew, including Jason Momoa, whose great fame can be understood because of his role Important in a superhero movie; But that does not negate that he is a modest actor.
And the next season remains in the balance until its presentation, can he maintain the same mass? Will he fix the mistakes of the first season? More importantly, will the third season be a good investment by Apple for the success of the series, or an adventure surrounded by failure factors more than success?
