I watched Sense 8 because I thought it was an SF show. When it became clear to me that the show was actually about trans gender and same sex relationships, with a paper thin SF theme, I decided it wasn't for me. Think you maybe quit too early. |

When it became clear to me that the show was actually about trans gender and same sex relationships, with a paper thin SF theme, I decided it wasn't for me. I think it's just that all sexualities are on a par with one another in Sense8 and that's maybe what makes it seem like it's about LGBT. Personally I think it's quite refreshing to have that variety. For how many years has heterosexuality been the only type of relationships explored in fiction? I'm not saying every fictional TV show should always have all sexualities covered, but I like that some do. |

I really liked this, the characters were interesting, the different cultures and locations, them all learning who they are and using their new abilities and all coming together at the end, it was just intriguing watch.

The new trailer for the Christmas Special is out.
Capheus has been recast due to the original actor's differences with the producers. Seems like the other cast members supported the recasting decision. Seems this season will be Will Vs Whispers. Should be fun. I expect the 3rd Season if they get approval will be the last. |

Phenomenal stuff. Can't wait for May. This has got to be one of my favourite pieces of fiction ever

What makes you think the third season will be the last? From what I've read they're aiming for 4-5 seasons, and it's apparently Netflix's most watched show in Brazil (which is Netflix's second largest territory) so it's getting large international numbers.
Anyway, if they do continue with another season they need to keep Whispers on the show. He is a grade A villain. I loved his scenes with Will. I am also surprised by how much I am enjoying the Rajan / Kala / Wolfgang love triangle, their scenes really cheered me up.

God I love this show - that 2 hour special was my favourite thing all year.
So many good points I can't even list them or I'd be here all day. Incredible. |

Wish they'd got a replacement who wasn't about 2 foot taller than the other guy
cos it changes the dynamic.

I didn't even realise that he'd been re-cast (i have prosopagnosia - face-blindness - so I could tell something was different but not that it was a new actor - and them picking it up in the script just did me).
Loving the show - I'd describe it as Transparent set to SciFi but that's a plus-point for me. Roll on May. |

Watching the Christmas special (usually the thought of a show's Christmas special makes my skin crawl), it made me realise how much I loved and missed Sense8. May can't come soon enough now.
There's just something so beautiful about this show; the locations, the music, the characters and their relationships - there's so many uplifting, funny, and beautiful moments interspersed between the drama. |

I love this show, in the Christmas special i enjoyed Sun and Wills stories the most. As for the new actor who plays Capheus...i was not keen but hopefully i just need time to get used to the change. Now season 2 needs to hurry up.

I just caught up with the "Christmas" special.
The relationships between the Sense8 group and each of their non-Sense8 partners began to be explored. It took almost the whole episode for the one development in the threat from Whispers to the group and the gangster threat to Wolfgang to be revealed. For me, it could easily have been cut to just 90 minutes or even an hour by losing more of the sex/orgy/party scenes. Good, but I felt there was too much filler. |
