I actually don't mind that not a lot happens in the first season. If I want an action show, I have plenty to choose from. Finding shows that focus on character exploration over shoving plot down our throats is actually difficult. I hope we get a second season. I am definitely curious.

@daan260 6 лет назад

It's just so cheesy and politically correct sometimes. However the cinamatics and overall concept is very cool I think.

@JazzyUnderscoreTrumpeter 6 лет назад

daan Agreed, it seemed like they were trying too hard to force political correctness, but I thought the action toward the end was well done and I kinda cared about a few of the characters.

@canigetanamen1106 4 года назад

I’m here 4 years after this was released and this is easily the best show I have ever watched and I am honestly so gutted there isn’t a season 3 this show will always have a very special place in my heart

@abreyakadabra 9 лет назад

Everyone keeps saying that this show is slow. Well I do kind of agree, I personally like that it is. I love it when a series gives us the characters' personality and experiences from the start. I want to remember the 8 sensates. I want to remember their names, not just as the 8 strangers who fight the bad guys together. The writers of this show intended it to be like this. They were going for a slow-arc story, I think I remember reading somewhere that they've already got the later seasons planned out.

@BingeWatchers 9 лет назад

Sebastian Abrea That's a really good point. This show is tied to its characters so closely, that people who disliked the characters, disliked the whole show. The show really does have to take the time exploring the characters for us to care about them, that did cost them a few people though, those who got bored along the way. I think it's pretty much this - you're either hooked on these characters and their stories, or not. I was, although I do think there were a few things they could have done differently.

@italypastapassion 9 лет назад

I cant choose between Sun and Capheus. But Lito is also a hilarious character and I like him alot too.

@TheOfficialTab 9 лет назад

Capheus was great, he always has a smile on his face and thinks everything is beautiful in it's own way. Only when he is face with troubles that include violence on his part does he ever seem unhappy and usually this happens because he takes care of those around him, and sometimes those around him get hurt. He takes responsibility for himself and helps the people around him. That is why he is my favorite character in the series. I think that they should be able to make a second season so they can finally speed up the main plot they started to touch upon finally on the last three episodes.

@BingeWatchers 9 лет назад

Official Tab Great observation, Capheus on one hand has the most difficult life of the 8, but he is also the one most content. I agree about season 2, I'm pretty sure we'll be getting it next year.

@samuelmuiga3101 2 года назад

Caphius is a contradiction in seoson 2.As much as he doesn't condone violence there's very little surprise in his face when he murders anyone. I don't see that evolution on him as a character as he kills more and more people given its against his principle nature. Hell, he was excited to open a trunk loaded with weapons in the last episode in seoson 2.These characters are all over the place, there's not much congruency to them.

@korisx 9 лет назад

*Spoiler?* I don't think the cluster was born through Angelica's death, I think she has an ability that is unique to her and I suspect that Riley may also have it. Angelica died to protect the cluster from whispers.

@DanteYewToob 8 лет назад

Am I the only one who felt bad for poor Sun?! Everyone is having adventures while she's in a dark hole by herself lol and they only call on her when asskickery is needed! Haha I felt that it was also because she chose to distance herself and her attitude was keeping her from "vistiting?" All in all a great show in my opinion.

@BingeWatchers 8 лет назад

+danteelite Yeah she was pretty much the most effective member of the group :) Hoping to get a lot more Sun in season 2!

@brianteo6795 8 лет назад

i hope sun leaves prison and fucks her brother up

@brianteo6795 8 лет назад

This show is the best shoe iv seem in a while. SERIOULY the concept in itself is enough to watch it and all the characters sync perfectly with their unique personalities and situations . Tbh this is the first time iv ever EVER benged watched a show from start to finish in one sitting. Literally I stated at 5:50am today and I finished at 2:48pm. This show is so good I recommend it to any one

@forgottendev3716 6 лет назад

@ryuray1677 8 лет назад

Every time any member of the cluster was in trouble, and all the senses got together OMG i felt euphoric.One of the best series let me rephrase since i have not watched any series from start to finish (with the exception of Spartacus) where i watched all characters storyline and adore each and everyone of them.ofcourse with the exception of that Dr matheson fucker . Can't wait for season 2 :))

@chilliyimani 9 лет назад

Spoilers: The cluster isn't created when a sensate from another cluster dies. It's created when another sensates "births" them (or the permanent connection between them that allows for the "sharing" of experiences, emotions, skills, etc.). They don't really go into detail about the "birthing" but they do talk about it in the first scenes with Angel and Jonas, and also in the scenes with the sensate in Iceland. Angel killed herself so that Mr. Whispers couldn't use her to find them (Will, Sun, Lito, etc.). I think they might cover the subject better if the show gets more season's. I really enjoyed this show. In fact I knew I was going to enjoy it when I first read the premise. I agree with the points you made about the show not quite reaching it's full potential and how the overarching story was only really tackled in the last few episodes. I kinda wished they had more episodes. In the end it felt like they were running out of time and it seemed, at least to me, that they rushed some of the interactions between some of the sensates. For instance Lito, whose my fav character btw, was mostly rapped up in his own story the entire season. Sure he had to deal with some of the same issues as the other sensates, like suddenly and unknowingly finding themselves "visiting" one another and also the overlapping emotions. But he never consciously interacts with the other's until the last few episodes. Which I understand is mostly because his personal story and the overall story didn't necessitate the "visiting" until that moment but I think his time spent interacting with the others was short compared to say Will. Instead of the more gradual acceptance that Will and Riley had we get a sudden conversation between him and Nomi. With no questioning, just a immediate acceptance of the fact that they somehow knew each other. It was the same with him and Wolfgang. And also with Kala and Capheus. However touching, intriguing, and entertaining the scenes were, for me they came across slightly disingenuous. Hopefully they get another season and can rectify these issue. Though it could just be me.

@rrohmdr 9 лет назад

chilliyimani Hi! Just to make a diferent point: As far and as deep as any of the other 7 sensates are concerned, it is LITO the one with issues concerning lack of integrity and courage, living the double life in the closet and, therefore, experiencing this drama while the other sensates, during the 9 episodes are visiting each other, sharing their true feelings and dilemnas. When LITO is left by his lover and begins to really feel the solitude and grief really deep inside himself is the moment when he seems "to qualify" to really and truly feel, help and share a true emotional challenge with others. That's the reason, at least for me, why his process of self consciousness and interacting and visiting comes to pass a bit later than the others. But if the "sensate" dimension is about sharing and feeling and so on, I see his visiting to Nome as the perfect opportunity for one of the most beautiful, intense and generous encounters within the whole series! Is from the pain and from Nome's courage and self-respect that comes the first inspiration for him to overcome his weakness and coward egocentrical attitude. So, as far as true human characters are concerned I don't believe in timing, nor timing accounting or inner comparisons to fully comprehend the richness of human being development and challenges, as well as the plot becomes even more interesting and "natural" because of these and other differences. At the end, greatness and redemption among different people ( or characters) shouldn't be seen, at least in art, as an effort towards pure rationality nor accounting. I'm looking forward for a second non balanced, non- expected and non completely clear season. Best regards.

@anonoumos 9 лет назад

chilliyimani good point about the quick acceptance. but dont forget, they all had "sensate" sex together (wolfgang, will, nomi, lito) lol i think that breaks down the introduction barrier very quickly.

@churros724 8 лет назад

+chilliyimani to be honest they are supposed to be one ,so inside this lore you could say he just felt like trusting her .thats what makes this series bizarre and deducts points from it since you can explain everything by saying " I had the feeeling"

@PiotrDzialak 4 года назад

If you feel there are gaps in the story, don't be lazy: fill them up. In the West, nowadays, people are so spoiled by videos that they forget to use their imagination. We cannot assume that every single interaction happens on the camera. If some get-to-know feels to fast, well, then, they must have been reacting off camera. They were not in the show, because they were less relevant. Some of these interactions might have even been filmed but removed in the final cut.

@zhaquiri 8 лет назад

I think my favorite might be Sun. I just friggin' love her! But I love all the other characters as well. Can I say all 8 of them are my favorites? heh They all have different strengths, not just character-wise, but also the actor's ability to sell what they're selling.

@BingeWatchers 8 лет назад

+zhaquiri I agree it's a very unique cast, I'm very ready for season 2!

@OsefKincaid 7 лет назад

Pretty sure Sense8 is my favourite show since The Wire.

@shawnd8778 9 лет назад

I love this series. I almost quit on episode 2 for the reasons you gave in the video. I am so glad I didn't. It's beautiful in culture, geography, personality and world philosophies. Each character is so completely different and yet they are incredible in the gestalt of their lives/circumstance. It forced me to face a few conceptions introspectively and I like that. I like when a series makes me examine a view or two.

@BingeWatchers 9 лет назад

***** Definitely a show that challenges you and gets you thinking. I'm glad you kept watching!

@kcsnipes Год назад

I quit on episode 2 but it’s 2023 if that matters ? Seems ok but I don’t have time for this show

@benisturning30 9 лет назад

@BingeWatchers 9 лет назад

Ben A Good point.

@AstralxFayt 9 лет назад

My favorite was Wolfgang, he's probably the most well rounded out of all them, he can shoot, master thief, smart, can fight and knows how to survive. I like sun and will but Wolfgang is a badass. Awesome show, can't wait to see season 2 !

@BingeWatchers 9 лет назад

***** Wolfgang is indeed a badass. The scene where Lito help him because he can't lie, is a true character building moment.

@LilMissInsane3 9 лет назад

Van Damme and his unwavering optimism.The scene with Riley in the aeroplane -the was just too cute :)

@ItsMeRhaine 9 лет назад

I love Sun. She's a bad-ass independent Korean woman who don't need no one, and if you stand in her way she will take yo ass down.

@CINEMATECO 9 лет назад

I loved the show, is slow, but it builds the atmosphere in a special way. Season 1 was only introduction that's why is slow, and I really Loved it! Waiting for season 2. SO F*CKING BAD!

@CINEMATECO 9 лет назад

Marco Cinemateco Portes oh and my fav totally is Nomi.

@Car_Uma 9 лет назад

I loved it. Including what you didn't like about it. To me, because ofnthe level of introspection (I don't mean the explicit afterschool special moments but the implicit, between the lines moments), the down-to-earth, yet beautiful, portrayal of all the worlds, and all the parallel thoughts I had, and keep having, it felt a lot more like reading a novel rather than watching a show. In that sense, I came to appreciate the slow pace. It made the characters very real, and the "post-movie" effect quite significant. A+ on the casting. 9/10 for me. The best series I've seen in a while.

@Car_Uma 9 лет назад

Carlos Umana Two things turn me off: First, the scientific explanation behind their connection. I hate it when writers who didn't pass eigth-grade biology start writing science fiction, particularly to explain something that definitely falls out of the realm of traditional science and falls in the realm of something more spiritual. The mention of how they are so genetically dissimilar to the rest of humanity was unnecessary, and because it is such a simplistic, illogical and biologically flawed explanation, it demystifies their connection, making it absurd, turning them into yet another breed of "mutants", whose special power is an organic intranet. The other thing is the hunt. I get it that it's the element that ties the show together, the suspense that makes us not be able to wait until tomorrow to play the next episode, and it gives them a common enemy and a threat over which to bond. But... why are they being hunted again? To turn them into zombies? To recruit them into an interconnected mafia and save up on skype credit? I hope this doesn't turn into another Matrix 2 or 3....

@badass447 9 лет назад

Carlos Umana They are being hunted because they aren't exactly "human". So people are afraid of them and want to just kill them.

@littlecharmsoflife2024 4 года назад

"Sun" she played a lead role in another Netflix series "Kingdom" Korean series on Zombies, loved her a lot

@RentheMage 9 лет назад

Wolfgang is my favorite character. He has issues with his parents like me and you can see in the show he struggles with being a good person. Like, he ideally wants to be a good person but bad things come naturally to him. It'll be interesting to see how this conflict will develop if there is a second season.

@BingeWatchers 9 лет назад

TheLightintheNight93 I love how deep the characters go in this. When you can write a comment like that you know that the show has done a good job at fleshing out the character, you can actually understand him and make assumptions about how he feels and thinks. I loved Wolfgang as well.

@ZestonN 9 лет назад

"I don't know why it's so slow." It's Wachowski! "It's so hung up on philosophy." It's Wachowski! "Why do they sell so many hamburgers here?" It's McDonald's!

@jaxvstheworld326 9 лет назад

I really loved certain character's plots while other's just felt somewhat pointless. I loved Lito and thought his character was well portrayed in that although his main conflict was being in the closet, we could clearly see that there was more to him as a character than merely his sexuality. I also really liked the character of Sun but only when she was in other people's stories because her own felt somewhat slow and even slightly corny to me. Wolfgang was definitely one of my favorites and a favorite episode of mine was when he and Lito helped each other because they hadn't interacted much before. I thought Wolfgang and Kala were a good couple in that they weren't too much where as Riley and Will became eachothers story altogether. Overall I really enjoyed this show, but some things definitely could have been changed. Great video:))

@magnoliasweetie 9 лет назад

Ahhh, it's so hard to pick!!! I Definitley love Will, Sun, & Wolfgang. I guess I gravitate to those who kick ass but Lito, oh man, what a pleasure it is to watch him on screen & the irony sometimes!! Hahaha! Nomi & Amanita, who totally kicks ass have gained all my respect. What love!! I never know what to expect with Capheus, what bravery and thank God for Sun's Van Damme ability! Haha, & Riley, I love watching her. Kala, haha, I love her interacting with Wolfgang, it's Ying & Yang there. What a great show, I love it. & when Lito helps Wolf & he helps Lito, oh man. What a badass scene!!!! When Lito finally accepts himself and fixes things, he kills it when he helps with his "lying." Such a drama queen but haha he finally gets it! I enjoy the show, love the nuances & lines, interactions & scenery. The locations and situations... really amazing.

@BingeWatchers 9 лет назад

Jahiedy Vinas Awesome comment! I love your observations. This show really comes down to the 8 main characters, if you love them, you love the show. People that didn't connect in any way with the 8 mostly thought that the show was boring. But that second get that *click* and you fall in love, the little things that the show does wrong really don't matter so much, because you're just so into these stories. For many people that moment was that amazing "What's Up" scene.

@magnoliasweetie 9 лет назад

Yes, that what's up scene is so awesome! Haha, I love that they were all singing in their own way & how Nomi escaped with Will's help and Amanita's swiftness; awesome. I especially enjoyed those little moments where the characters were able to experience things they never have before or wouldn't be because of where they are, like Sun and Capheus seeing the fireworks and Kala watching Van Damme. That workout scene LMAO, oh man! It's interesting because Capheus and Wolfgang don't really question why this is happening to them, they kind of just roll with it & don't worry excessively that they're going crazy. They all know each other without knowing each other, it's really awesome. If we take the show for what it is, it's truly a masterpiece. I can't come in with certain expectations, everything was new the first time around so I was taking it in as it came. Therefore, I took it as is and I love it. Things take time in real life and it had that pace so it worked. Would I have liked if Lito was able to take action by the time Hernando left? Yes! But some people don't get it until they accept their reality, a lot of us are hard headed and don't ever take action. We just struggle to see it play out when it's another character and we know what he should do. If only we had an outside look at our lives, maybe we'd be spared the inconveniences and time we waste being unhappy. Everything happened as it should've, you let them happen like Jonas said lol. Like Daredevil, love the show & I can't expect it to be the same pace as Arrow or Flash. Plus it's on Netflix so there is no need for big bangs and cliffhangers because we're gonna see the next episode right away. It allows for the script to include subtleties and develop a full story to be explored throughout the episodes with a reality of a real life pace and gritty feel. The benefit of having netflix series is that they don't have to quicken the story to keep your attention and they do justice to the characters while still leaving room for further development I look forward to in Season 2. I can't wait. I already am watching it again lol 😁

@volleyballl98 9 лет назад

@BingeWatchers 9 лет назад

Limegreenyummyyummy And here lies the problem with the Netflix binge-watch model, we watch it all in a few days, and then we have to wait a year...

@Limegreenyummyyummy 9 лет назад

Yeah but there's a great demand for it. People want to immerse themselves in the shows they watch. It's become this ultimate viewing experience. I think it's important for Sense8 to be binge watched because the story development is a slow burn. Netflix has this show called Between, they release one episode each week. The problem is that show really sucks big time! I stopped watching it after 15 min on the first episode. Couldn't take the horrible acting.

@jonnisahe7195 9 лет назад

For me, this review is very accurate. I wish the producers would take your feedback and apply it to the next season. Honestly, the show would process tremendously using this feedback. Although, the producers/writers explain that the show intentionally built its story over one season, I do believe it posed a problem. If they would have connected the overall story sooner, I would have given the show a 10/10, but I still think it is 8/10 or better with its "few" issues. Thank you for your video, I hope the Sense8 writers learn from this feedback.

@BingeWatchers 9 лет назад

Jonní SAHE Glad you liked the review! I'm pretty sure we'll be getting a season 2 next year, then we'll see how they change things up.

@jonnisahe7195 9 лет назад

Yeah, I am sure we will, but we won't get a third if they don't mix in some of your feedback. Personally, I wish they sectioned the series like a network show. For network television, they could be cancelled at any episode. So, it is important to produce enough episodes that connect a story and can stand alone. On another note, you spot on hit the show not being gay propaganda. The point you made about an all straight-white-male cast is very important. I wish more of television could break these ethnic, sexual, and geographical barriers.

@marthapfahl6488 9 лет назад

Just found your channel. Good stuff! Got to say I like the show even though some parts were hard to watch for me. But it was a awesome film making experience. I can truly say I never seen anything like this before. favorite characters are Sun, because she a true badass and Capheus because he keeps a positive outlook were most would give in.

@BingeWatchers 9 лет назад

Liv PROFIT I loved that about Capheus. I just don't know how I feel about him not getting excited or confused at all about the whole sensate thing, he just kind of rolls with it. I don't know if I like that part or not yet.

@davidlu4649 9 лет назад

Nice review!!! To me, this show is like using an entire season to tell the audience the main characters and the main story line. It's a little bit slow, but the concept and the story is truly amazing, and that's why I can keep watching this show. Speaking of the characters, Wolfgang and Kala(Kara?) are my favs b/c one represents the friendship and another represents the family, and that kind of emotion really touches me.....

@anonoumos 9 лет назад

nice review...btw the wachowskis' script span 5 seasons (hopefully they do get to it all)...now that they've gotten deep character development out of the way, i hope the plot really starts unravelling with the scary white dude lol

@FilipeSousa97 9 лет назад

Hi Binge congratulations your review enlighted me some things I didn't noticed. I just finished the season and it's so common to see series not caring about character development that when you get this kind of serie that almost just focus on that aspect people will definitly check it out. In the end I cared more about the subplots instead of the main plot. But I don't think that's a bad thing, necessairly. Perhaps season 2 will have more impact. I'm subbing to you now 'cause of that video keep up the good work

@BingeWatchers 9 лет назад

This is one of the best shows I've seen in a long time and one I will recommend to most of my friends. Yes, the show takes a while to get going and the first few episodes can be confusing, but if you stick with it, you're rewarded for your patience. You get some amazing character development, an interesting plot device, and just some good sci-fi. I'm an adult who can easily handle mature content so I had no issues with the sex, nudity, or birth scenes. I loved 7 of the 8 characters; I just couldn't really connect with Capheus's story. Nomi and Amanita's scenes were some of my favorite, as were the scenes with Wolfgang and Kala. Of course, the scenes with Sun being a bad-ass were worthy of multiple rewinds as were the scenes with Lito and Wolfgang (and holy hell the scene with the RPG in the trunk). The Christmas special was a real gift and I can't wait for season 2 to drop in May.

@davidquach5608 9 лет назад

For me, I immediately fell in love with the show mainly cause of how it introduces the characters and their worldly problems. Of all of them, my favorite would have to be Kala mainly cause of how realistic her problems are and what she must do to overcome it

@capenterjojo3373 2 года назад

Exactly. Those 8 characters represents all the people around the world.

My Sens8 favorite characters are Will (the Chicago cop), Nomi (the computer hacker) and Sun (the Korean accountant). I guess I liked their combination of intelligence and work ethic at making a positive impact on their groups - both their cluster and the people in their real lives.

@tastefullyout 9 лет назад

Sun has to be my favorite of the 8, even though all of them grew on me in some way. Everytime someone was about to get into a fight i just sat back and waited for Sun to step in and kick some major butt.

@BingeWatchers 9 лет назад

Ryan Garnett Sun was indeed a badass and has the most impressive fight scenes. I loved the Wolfgang/Lito scenes as well :)

@tastefullyout 9 лет назад

Wolfgangs character felt a little underdeveloped to me. Like, I know he hated his father, but why. I know he didn't trust people, but why? And i must say, i hated the love story between him and Kala. It wasn't believable to me, unlike Will and Riley.

@Rabbitangel2cp 9 лет назад

I absolutely agree with everything you said in this review. I adored the show as well as the characters, but it did develop pretty slowly and I was looking forward to seeing more badass sensate interactions between all eight sensates at once rather than individual interactions between two, maybe three of them, but sadly we only got some of that at the very end. Yet the story and overall concept of the series is indeed fascinating and unique, and has a great deal of potential that hopefully season 2 (if there is a season 2 - PLEASE let there be a season 2!!!) will take advantage of. As for fave character, gosh... I love them all too much! I guess if I had to, it would be either Capheus or Lito. Capheus because he's such a genuinely nice and goodhearted person, but Lito because he always makes me laugh when the scenes aren't so angsty and sad ("I see you, villian!" will always be one of my favorite scenes).

@leosanalien9904 9 лет назад

This review is perfect. I agree about the defects that you mentioned, but honestly since I was enjoying the art and feeling all those emotions constantly, I just didn't let the bad parts distract me too much. Nomi's character is just so strong and elegant and beautiful, and is one of the most important characters in our time. I like the interactions between Will and Riley, also the over-the-top Mexican movie titles and quotes. But the most impressive effect it has on me is how its theme moves me, I'm in a very bad place lately and after I cried as all the members of the cluster sang together, it gave me a lot of relief.

@BingeWatchers 9 лет назад

Leo Liu When a show manages to get those kinds of emotions out of you, and even help you through a difficult time - that's true greatness, doesn't matter what the show's flaws are. I'm happy to hear about the impact this show had on you and it means a lot to me that you felt safe enough to share it in this community. I'm also glad you liked the review :)

@leosanalien9904 9 лет назад

Binge Watchers Haha. Thanks.

I think the reason it is slow, is because this show wants to be in it for the long term. They want to evolve the relationship between all the characters to make them as rich as they can be, so we can care for all 8 of them as much as we'd care for 1 really good main character. After all, these 8 people form one cohesive character.

@TKThemeParkReviewer 9 лет назад

You are absolutely right I felt this way about the show

@457zim 9 лет назад

I did complete the whole series recently, and I'd have to say Sun is my favorite character, just because she is so useful and even when she is afraid, she's still very brave... But that's just me...

I loved the show, I have to say though that the episodes were slow but the last 10minutes of each episode was so amazing it kept me watching. I really want to see the next season because I feel it will be even better.

@BingeWatchers 8 лет назад

+Joshua Alt The more I think about this show they more I understand it had to start slow, they had so much exposition to make. I agree that S2 can be amazing, as it can focus more on the actual story.

@taiyocat9983 9 лет назад

my favorite character is probably Riley because i think her private life is the most interesting plus I loved her relationship with Will it was awesome. Also i am in love with her hair!

@Numberoneiosgameplay 7 лет назад

I liked this show, but it still has lots of problems in my opinion. Pros: 1. Visuals, Cinematography 2. Character Development 3. Interactions and Action sequences 4. Season Ending Cons: 1. A bit too much sex & nudity for my film taste (took away from the story) 2. Slow Pacing 3. The birthing scenes (some may think they were beautiful, I thought they were disgusting; deffo not something I want to see on screen. Especially since they were actually real births!) 4. Nomi's dialogue (dunno if it was down to bad writing or just bad acting, but her lines were soooo monotone and bland)

@daniela16xx 9 лет назад

Sun is my favorite, she's a variety of skills to save everyone inside the cluster. But in general Semse8 is one of the few series where you get to feel connected with all the main characters, not the usual " please remove him/her because it's useless"

@misheckmbewe9911 9 лет назад

just finished watching the serie and i must say it was very beautiful i enjoyed every bit of it but then again i have to agree with your review youhave managed to give a good summary of this wonderful serie hope we are going to see season 2 .i couldnt pick one caracter cause i felt all of them impressed in different ways

@BingeWatchers 9 лет назад

Misheck Mbewe I'm glad you liked the review :) I'm pretty sure we'll be getting season 2 next year.

@DeathsPit00 9 лет назад

The Clusters are said later in the show to be created at the moment of birth when they are all born at the exact same time and they all quite literally take their first breath at the same time as one which connects them all for their entire lives( kind of throws the idea off for me just because there are near 8 billion people in the world and this probably actually happens all the time without psychic linkage occurring, but I like the basic idea so I'll let that one go) The first season, while slow, was simply amazing. It went the way it did for a reason. The reason I believe it went like this is because they all had problems in their lives that they desperately needed real help with and the characters could truly help each other, and we got to know them as people. The other reason is that by the end of the season they all had to be aware of each other, their abilities, and be comfortable with the way they're connected. They needed that time to figure out how it works, which is why we didn't get as much out of this season as first thought. If there is a season 2 it will be much better because they have that experience and know how to use their abilities. Youm ust remember that despite beong on Netflix it's still a tv show, whereas a movie would have had them instantly able to control this ability without any of that prior experience. To me it makes sense. PS My Favorites would have to be, Wolfgang, Will, and Lito. They make an amazing team. And without Lito Wolfgang and Will wouldn't have made it.

@Tikl1000 9 лет назад

seeing this in ultra HD 4K is absolutely amazing. Second time through the series and I pick up more each episode. It gets better as I watch the episodes a second time and come to the conclusion that this series is one of the best dramas I have ever seen on TV in my 50 years of being a fan of TV serial dramas. I pray for a second season.

@BingeWatchers 9 лет назад

jay powers I have to check out that HD 4K experience somehow! I'm pretty sure we'll get a second season next year.

@kylehill9121 6 лет назад

The premise of this show really interests me & I really want to watch it. Should I give it a go?

@Lonelyjones 9 лет назад

I enjoyed season 1 of sense8. It was very slow as you said but I feel like the second season it will show it's true colors and really take off. This show has so much potential. And season 1 was just a setup for what greatness has to com

@BingeWatchers 9 лет назад

Everett Jordan Definitely huge potential for season 2. I do wish that season 1 was more than setup.

@niTeDFS 9 лет назад

Everett Jordan I totally agree with that. So much potential for the second season. And I accually I can't wait for it.

@crystaldival9496 7 лет назад

Everett Jordan it really took off. Season2 is so much better but its a shame that they cancelled it. Also, I really think it was intentional, to keep the viewers intrigued and to hype them up for the second season.

@VivianaMoran2204 9 лет назад

My favorite characters are Amanita, and Sun for different reasons. Amanita is the best ideal partner one could have, always supportive and loving. Sun's my definition of bravery, honor and loyalty I aspire to be someone like her. Always protecting her family and loved ones. Please Sense8 do NOT stop with the introspection. I think we need people to start putting each other in others' people shoes. Not everyone is a straight, male white person.

@JesusRodriguez-pd6nb 9 лет назад

And my favorite would be Will.

@cindym474 9 лет назад

My favorite character was Sun for being selfless but ultimately for being a badass and helping almost every character! I enjoyed watching the characters conflicts and development; I actually enjoyed that part of the show rather than the whole Dr. Meltzer showdown which left me with many questions...would much have rather the show be on just the characters themselves and fully embracing their new abilities.

@LovinFur2 8 лет назад

Just binged the show. Wasn't going to, but couldn't help it. Read about the 2015 shows we should have been watching, it was on the list. I really love the character development and inter-dynamic between them. Never seen a show that has brought it all together like this. I can't wait for season 2, even though I agree that season 1 seemed to have not really gone anywhere. Still can't wait to see more, the whole idea has got me hooked.

@BingeWatchers 8 лет назад

+Jerry Reeve Watching this show made me realize the importance of a new idea, we get a lot of really good shows these days but so many of them revolve around the same general ideas. Sense8, even with its flaws, is very special. Can't wait for S2 as well!

@TamarSth 8 лет назад

Did you consider reviewing Halt and Catch Fire? I'm interested in what you have to say about it. :)

@BingeWatchers 8 лет назад

+TamarSth I have! I'm about half way done with the first season, I'm just considering if I should review it season by season or do a single video for everything that's out so far. Leaning towards season by season since I heard S2 is far superior to S1.

@TamarSth 8 лет назад

+Binge Watchers Season 2 is definitely lighter and has more of a flow than season 1, and they deepen the characters... The focus really changes as well. But I did really enjoy season 1 :) So it might depend on your overall experience.

@jrtlove 9 лет назад

I finished the season 1 two days after its release and loved it! Fave character was Sun but now it's WOLFGANG!! Total badass in the action scenes with his cousin and Joaquin. The show depicted every aspect of life from all over the world, so if u wanted some happiness, desire, love, attraction, sadness, loss, ACTION! u will find it in the show as the story takes u to different parts of the world. And i just love the music/songs chosen, and how it got worked into the scenes. Best of all, this show is about friendship and kinship, a brotherhood that was clearly highlighted after Nomi's narrow escape, and then more defined at end of the season.

@BingeWatchers 9 лет назад

@erinplaice 9 лет назад

Loved you're review-first time watcher! Wolfgang and Kala are my favorites but I feel the writers ddin't spend a whole lot of time with them. The show as a whole, like you said,has a couple of issues, but i think (hopefully) if it gets a season 2 things will speed up. I think the writers just wanted viewers to get to know the characters and cover the aspects of their lives that might not have been shown if they went super fast.

@BingeWatchers 9 лет назад

HerNameisAlice Thanks! Glad you liked the review :) I think they did a great job here with letting us get to know the characters, if season as you said will pick up the pace a bit then everything about season 1 is worth it. I do think that the style has definitely turned away some viewers who could potentially love the show.

@011mph 9 лет назад

I feel like the first episode could have been better. It didn't really do a good job of capturing my attention and making me want to know what happens next. But eventually I got around to finishing it and it was actually better than I thought it would be.

@FefeNovaes13 9 лет назад

I'm completly in love with Sense8. It has a great premise and stunning cinematography. Anyway, I understand the first season as the first chapter of a great history thought for five season, so in this first one it was focused on introducing the history lines and linking them. It's amazing and incridible, and I love it.

@ginsengaddict 9 лет назад

Capheus. Because he relishes everything he gets to experience through the other 7. Being on a plane? Visiting Seoul? Watching a Van Dam me film with Kala and geeking out over it? Hell, even when he helps save Nomi, he has a go at stunt driving. He has the most fun being a sensate.

@frederikahle2237 9 лет назад

I'm kind of fine with the slow pacing because the whole plot shouldn't be revealed in a single season i think

@BingeWatchers 9 лет назад

frederik ahle The more I think about this show I kind of agree, I still think they should have moved it along a bit more in this season but yeah, season 1 was mostly much needed build up.

@SketchyDoodle 9 лет назад

Great review, I just finished the series and loved it. I was amazed by the art as you call it and the entire series looks visually stunning. The parts where people were borrowing the skills of others was indeed perfect. Even the action scenes looked amazing. Great cast with a lot of new faces for me. As far as the characters go, I really liked the diversity of characters. All 8 characters had their own interesting stories and struggles. I would have liked to see more characters getting involved in the overarching storyline, which seemed to focus mainly on Will, Riley and Nomi. I'm not that easily shocked with violent or nude scenes but this series is definitely somewhere at the top of some the most visually explicit gore/nude scenes I've seen in a TV series. I really didn't expect this based on the trailers. One thing I would have liked to see was that people should have been speaking their own languages. This would have added much more authenticity to them. Hooefully there will be a season 2 where we will find out more the sensates.

@BingeWatchers 9 лет назад

SketchyDoodle Yes! I forgot to talk about the language thing in the review, it bothered me as well.
