I loved every second of it! Brilliant, ambitious, touching, terrifying, wonderful.

Holy fuck I want to watch it again.

I completely agree, I found myself cheering for these characters when they were helping each other out. So much fun to watch, and all of the minor plots didn't feel to long for me. Just everything seemed to work so well.

What I really liked was the stories for each character flowing normally but they still found uses for other people's talents. It wasn't like they forced them into weird situations only so that someone else could help him out of it. All of the things that took place made sense to the story and they were able to get help from the other Sense8s when they needed it.

I'm three episodes in and I still really don't know what the point is.

Then you are the problem, not the show.

I just finished watching the season. I think the show had great potential but I felt some characters were more McGuffin than character (I'm not even sure that's possible but that's how it felt to me).

I particularly felt it had an incredibly slow start. I honestly just powered through the first like 4 episodes while doing other things and then around episode 5 or 6 I started paying attention because that's when they started actually doing "sensate" stuff.

I feel like they should've worked more on showing us that. The rules, why are there others, why they exist. I don't know, there's SO much potential with this show.

All-in-all I think it could be great, but as it is, it's hard to get people excited if I have to tell them "just bear through the first 4 episodes" =/

I loved this show. I binged all the episodes and was happy to see they crossed the genitalia and birth lines by showing it on screen.

At first I wanted there to be more action and heroics, because it seemed to slow, but the music and the character development was so hypnotic I was able just enjoy it for what it is instead of wishing it would be more like other TV shows or movies.

JMS & the Wachos do not even come close to redeeming their flagging careers. In fact, they just dig themselves deeper into irrelevance with Sense8.

I always check out whatever each creates, but that changes now after too many boring fails in a row from either. This is a series that moves so slow it is like watching turds rot into turf. So many groans. So many. (And this is coming from someone who saw the cool story beneath "Jupiter Ascending" despite it being the sequel to "Xanadu" after all was said and done.)

The Indian storyline is a shoehorned Bollywood film of the most cliche tropes, and is the worst offender in an over crowded pot of boring and cliched storylines. Gender delineated line dancing? Groom on a Hog? Was there a checklist?

The humorous moments are surprisingly well done and successful, and the diversity is refreshing despite being heavy handed, but, ugh, the groans it elicits when not being utterly, forgetfully, unbearably slow...

I do have to hand it to the Mexican storyline for being the most interesting though. The actor and the beard shine. Truly shine. But it can't make up for the feeling that I am watching bullshit dry to cake in the grass and clover.

The only thing I loved about this treatise about love and connection were the bus and the beard. But watching amusement park propaganda from the omnipresent overhead TV's, while waiting in line for the roller coaster, would be more enjoyable than Sense8.

So much more wrong than there is right, and that even makes it sound more interesting than it actually is. A character has a line that is very apt for the wrong reason, "this guy is about as interesting as a mouthful of sawdust". Couldn't agree more.

At least we have Freema and St. Joey Pants, eh?

I just finished the season and there were way too many problems with this show to be great, I agree. The only character I was invested in was Mexico, that storyline was pretty good. Every other character's storyline was way too basic for me to give a damn about. Kenya, India, and Germany were boring and could have been written for a b-list film. Chicago's didn't really make sense, Iceland became way too much of a damsel in distress at the end there, and the only thing keeping me interested in Korea is that she was a badass. The whole last 20 minutes of the season was so bullshit to me. All 8 of them are helping each other and getting through this one problem, when, throughout most of the show, half of these people haven't had any dialogue together? There was no sense of camaraderie between the sensates in this cluster when they should be synchronized and know each other inside and out. I did not believe any of it. They seemed like a bunch of strangers who teamed up because the writers said so to beat the big bad.

The pacing was terrible too. I was saying in my head multiple times during the middle of the season, "now THIS should have been happening around episode 2 or 3." It took, like, 6 episodes for the sensates to even start talking to each other? Seriously? They spent way too much time on individual character building and developing when they should have spent it on stuff like world building on the sensate aspect of the show or creating proper relationships between the sensates.

And that comes to my last, and biggest problem with the show itself; the complete and utter underusage of the concept of the show, the sensates. The highlights of the show are when the sensates are working together or synchronizing with each other's emotions. The mind orgy, Will, Sun, and Kenya teaming up to save Nomi from Whispers, the Sensates singing What's Going On, even the little things like Lito getting overly emotional because Sun was on her period. A lot of that, especially the last one, were lost for the majority of the show. It seemed like they used this mainly as a plot device to give the main characters dialogue, and even then a lot of it was superficial. It didn't seem like they got to know each other when they were capable of seeing through each others' minds. I wasn't really sure what the extent of their powers were. It was shown that the sensates feel each other's emotions, but do they feel all 8's at the same time? They never clarified, nor fully utilized that aspect.

Also, the other Sensates outside of the main cluster...how many are there and why hasn't anyone else encountered one? Not to mention, the two that were introduced didn't even seem like characters, they were glorified plot devices.

The creators of this show had SO much to work with. This is an inventive and fresh idea, and they wasted it all and didn't really know exactly what to do with the whole thing. Honestly, after finishing the season, I still have no idea where they were trying to go with this show. I gave it 12 episodes of a chance, it did well in some parts and kept me going, but overall it was just a mess and could have been leaps and bounds better than it is.

you are the first person, in a while i've read that has base to no like the show, and if there were more people like you i would be okay with the criticism. Sadly i've mostly read about people who dropped the show after two episodes comment, that its nonsense(hehe) and that the brothers are yada yada yada. kudos for finishing the show :3

[–]supervain 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

I check up on the ratings and comments daily. im scared that all this people who've only watched the first two episodes to based their critissim on the whole show will obliterate the chances of me getting to absorb a next season of this show.

I'm actually super impressed by how much attention this subreddit is getting and how quickly it is growing. I was watching Daredevil the day it came out and that subreddit was not very active for the most watched Netflix show ever.

But I hear you. Usually on subreddits for TV shows, it's just a big circle jerk. ANY criticism gets voted down right away since everyone there is understandably a huge fan. That's not happening here yet. People are voting up the criticism. The show isn't exactly accessible. It's confusing and adult. It's not as accessible as Daredevil. It's not for everyone. It's probably not even for the majority of people, and maybe that explains the voting.

That said, Bloodline and Marco Polo are both getting second seasons, and so few people watched those shows that nobody even bothered to come on reddit to criticize them. Apparently it was enough.

I love this show. The Wachowski's have created something that is fantastic, touching and thought provoking on a global scale. I love the global opening and the scenery from around the world that shows the human experience. Then we met the characters of every gender, race, occupation, and sexual orientation who bond together through their psychic hive mind connection. I love this show and we are only halfway through. It's great and I want everyone to check it out however there are those in my social circle who can't deal with the topics and social issues that I believe in who need to grow socially in order to truly appreciate this fantastic story. Netflix continues to hit the ball out of the park with their original programming.

Was looking forward to this show for a long time, and I'm now pretty pissed because it's shit.
