I’ve always felt that Lake is one of the dark horse series for 2019; don’t get the love you deserve. The show breaks out of the “sensory deficient” theme box that appears in films like “Quiet Place” and “Bird Box”. And tells its own compelling story with plenty of crunchy, bone-crushing action.
The series follows a post-apocalyptic world where everyone loses their sight.
The Alkeni tribe, led by Baba Vos (Jason Momoa), gave birth to several twins. Who could see, leading to battles, political upheaval, and more chaos wrought by opposing Queen Kane (Sylvia Hawks).
At the end of the first season, it is revealed that there are more children with vision around the world. And besides the chaos, Baba’s brother, Edo, from a neighbouring tribe gave him a gift.

Momoa’s navigation to Baba Vos in the new situation is exciting. The actor shows the depth of his acting to respond to Baba’s threats every day as a gift. Season one left Baba vulnerable to more threats. But he still has loved ones to look out for. And Momoa feeds his defensive side even more here, which is fun to watch.
After the terrible acting we saw in Army of the Dead, I was too lucky to be wrong about Dave Bautista. Bautista carries Edo’s obsession and rudeness with equal measure. Which makes him a natural opponent of Baba, not only physically but emotionally as well.
The aesthetic of his character, reminiscent of Genghis Khan, coincides with the ruthless nature of the Mongol leader. The chemistry that Momoa and Bautista have – even when they’re not on stage together.
It is simply incredible, and it seems that Baba and Edo should be called one of the most glaring rivalries between brothers and sisters on television.
The Hawks’ portrayal of a friendly leader is, as always, extraordinary;
Whether it’s a truly disturbing “masturbation prayer” scene or keeping a secret from her tribe. And leaving her homeless, Queen Kane’s story is one of the most interesting in the series.
As always, Alfre Woodard made extraordinary talent available to the Paris commander. We learned about the trip to Paris and Woodard, and the writers made sure that their rainbow of characters lived up to the audience’s expectations.
His relationship with the cult Gerlamarel (who gave birth to many wary children) and his loving attitude with Baba make him one of the most contradictory but exciting characters in the series.

While the characters are pretty interesting, See wouldn’t be what he is without a world of ravaged cities with beautiful steampunk, snow-covered tundra and ominous forests.
Viewers unfamiliar with the series may think it is a prehistoric era, but it has set an era in the future. While the first season warned the world, we’ll one day see, the second season was more about stories that would delight fans – new and old – than this underrated series.
The series is undoubtedly bleak. One of its main drawbacks is desperation, which manifests itself as illogical because humans somehow always endure even in the worst of times (like this). But Knight is ruthless. In the choreography of the struggle, there is joy and even gratitude for the beauty.
What unfolds in this post-apocalyptic society. It’s visually impressive. Amazing view. The costume is the same. One of its strengths is its multicultural composition, although queens, princesses, and lords are still predominantly white. And the acting is believable.
But in the end, the season belonged to Momoa and the new addition Bautista.
What’s surprising is the latter’s ability to add more introspection to such a brutal character than expected. For an actor whose physical frequency is at the core of the character he plays, Bautista brings welcome emotion to his role. Not only is he his brother’s nemesis, but also a necessary counterweight to an equally powerful Baba.
Meanwhile, there’s something cool about the giant Momoa running like the back of Notre Dame or gliding along enemy lines when it feels around.
At first glance, this may seem funny. Sometimes he is, but remember that he is blind. Audiences who have seen Frontier and are curious about the sea await this version of the wild Momoa you know and love.

The series goes well watching the pair kill people in the bloodiest way and fight each other into a bloody mess. It’s fierce, which not everyone will like.
