Sense8

I had very, very high expectations for this show. I've never been so anxious for a new show to come out. From start to finish and at every point along the way this show more than met those expectations, it blew them away. The transitions from one person to the next, one scene to the next were exquisitely done every time. The way each sensate connected with the others, what they were able to help each other with emotionally and physically was masterfully done. Nothing felt inevitable, at each point there felt like there was genuine risk to each of them. I love this show. I literally stayed up from midnight until noon watching each episode one after the other. And tonight, when I get home from shopping, I'm gonna do it again but with friends. This satisfied me on so many levels. Genre, plot, gender, race, sexuality. I care so much for each of the eight and I love how they all complement each other. They are amazing. This show is amazing. The editing, the directing, the writing, the acting, the chemistry between the eight....just perfect. I can't wait to watch it again and again and again.

I'm blown away by how much I enjoyed Sense8! It's fantastic! You can tell it was an expensive show to make by the production. It was so expensive that they had to end it a season earlier than they wanted to but the fans were so loud about wanted an appropriate ending that they made a movie to close the story out. It's about a group of people from around the world that are all of a sudden linked mentally and have to come together to get away from people that are hunting them because they think they're too powerful and a threat to the world. If you're a fan of sci-fi then give this a try, you will not be disappointed! I do have to warm you that once you start watching it you won't want to stop so give yourself some time to binge it.

The first episodes in series 1 are pretty graphically sexual but it gradually calms down. I find it addictive to watch and I love the concept that the individual skills and be used to 'step' into another personality in order to help - speak, fight, computer skills, detective skills etc. The joy, sorrow is felt by all. Each episode's plot builds and moves the series onward. Others have said they find it slow but I think that due to the complexity of the numerous interweaving strands that the plot has to ensure continuity and balance. I'm now half way through series 2.

So if you are one of those people that cannot keep along in Game of thrones, then this will be particularly hard to follow through. The notch is a little bit cranked up and with a lot of characters to follow.

I've seen 9 episodes so far and I can now feel the build up of the series is done, and the actual story is beginning. I can sense a lot of dynamic going on here between several different characters and you really start to care for each and everyone of them. That depends also on your own view of life, because love of every kind is represented. Horrors in all of its forms is presented and you probably need to be one of those empathic people to appreciate the story-telling. But when they start to join forces it creates this fantastic empowering feeling that you want to be a part of. The fight for some good, because you sense what they can become in the end.

This is not a show for your bigotry, this is a show for the time we live in.

The characters lives and issues is connected to our real world problems and you can sense that each of them is represented in a real person in our world.

What will happen when they all meet in physical form?

Thats what I want to know.

Sense8 is one of those shows where you truly start to care about all the characters and what happens to them. That's because they actually take the time to develop all of these characters and build this world very carefully. They had to end the series because it started to become ridiculously expensive and I get it. At least there were enough fans that they didn't leave it with a cliffhanger and gave us a movie to end the story! It really is a good sci-fi series!
