  This sounds pretty neat actually. Apologies if there's another thread. I did look but couldn't find one.

  Sounds interesting, Netflix have some great shows (OITNB, House of Cards, Lilyhammer etc). Could be another one

  It sounds a bit meh but i am checking it out purely for JMS. He is a brilliant writer and knows how to concieve a very well thought story arc. His work on Babylon 5 was out of this world and he pretty much wrote about 95 per cent of the show.

  It's certainly ambitious considering they're taking in eight countries as well.

  The cast looks pretty good, but I'm not sure about the premise.

  This sounds interesting but I'm not too sure about the Wachowskis after Cloud Atlas!
  
  However I will still try Sense8 when it's on Netflix!

  The Wachowskis and JMS - I'm not a great fan of either, althoughI liked the imagination and depth of the Babylon 5 storyline (although I had issues with JMS's dialogue and the clunkiness of the scripts).
  
  Hopefully, he can bring that same imagination to this, because the premise sounds banal.
  
  Netflix have a good record with their original series IMO, so hopefully this will be better than average. But I'm not holding my breath.
