TV show description:
This science-fiction series follows a group of strangers from different cultures and parts of the world. They are all the same age and share the same birthday.
They all experience a tragic death through dreams or visions and then find themselves growing mentally and emotionally connected. Confused, they try to figure out how the connection happened and what it means.
The group of “sensates” includes Berlin locksmith and safe-cracker Wolfgang Bogdanow (Max Riemelt) who are involved with organized crime; Nomi Marks (Jamie Clayton), a lesbian transgender woman in San Francisco; Mumbai pharmacist Kala Dandekar (Tina Desai), a devout Hindu who’s engaged to marry a man she doesn’t love; and an Icelandic DJ named Riley Blue (Tuppence Middleton) whose troubled past has sent her fleeing to London.
There’s also Lito Rodriguez (Miguel Ángel Silvestre), a closeted gay telenovela actor in Mexico City; Chicago cop Will Gorski (Brian J. Smith) who’s haunted by an unsolved murder from his youth; Capheus (Aml Ameen), a Matatu van driver in Nairobi who’s trying earn enough to buy medicine for his sick mother; and a kickboxer named Sun Bak (Doona Bae) who’s also the daughter of a powerful Seoul businessman.
A mysterious man named Jonas Maliki (Naveen Andrews) tries to help the sensates while another stranger called Whispers (Terrence Mann) attempts to hunt them down. Whispers uses the same power to gain full access to their thoughts and sight after looking into their eyes.
Episode #24 — Amor Vincit Omnia
Passions run high as the Sensates and their closest allies fight to save the cluster and stop their enemies for good.
First aired: June 8, 2018.
What do you think? Do you like the Sense8 TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
I just binged watched this and I loved it. I hope it gets renewed.
I absolutely love this show. I had just found it last month on NETFLIX and watched it straight through in one viewing and then again a couple weeks later. I know that this could go much further and believe that it will become quite popular with any Sci-Fi fan; actually if anyone watches beyond the first show they will get hooked. I am also glad that they changed the opening and closing a little bit, it was far too long before,especially the closing. It is difficult to find something to watch on TV that makes a person think about others.… Read more »
OMG! This needs to be renewed. Who do we tell.. RENEW SENSE8. I just discovered it and WOW!!!!!!
Definitely a binge watcher here, although I focused chiefly on Wolfgang (Max Riemelt). Even that was enough to hook me line and sinker to the series. I can’t wait to be more patient and thorough with the others who, I’m sure have equally catastrophically screwed-up back-stories as poor ‘Wolfie’. Great, great show. There’s nothing else on television like this.
This show pushes the boundaries of the layman’s imagination. I am essentially a layman, so this show’s inaugural season shocked me. But it’s avant garde structure inspired and amazed me. I finished binge watching in less than a week after I finished season 1, I started checking on season two. After a brief period of frustration with critic reviews and early ambiguity about the possibility of a season 2, I soon realized a follow up season was “in the bag”. I became very amused at how film critics were slapping labels of disapproval on Sense8 based on simplistic TV show… Read more »
WOW!!!! I watched the entire season in 2 days. The first couple episodes seemed weird. Even still, I couldn’t stop watching. So glad I did!!!! I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this series. The characters are all so interesting — I love them all! There’s nothing like it on network TV, or even cable. I’ll be so disappointed if the series is not renewed.
Great is an understatement, a must watch. If your into truly being entertained while you’re being respected with quality then this is it. Peace
This is great show! Netflix, please renew it! Watched all 12 episodes in a week.
I love this series!! I watched all of the episodes in less than a week!! Please continue this series!! 🙂
So I have just finished watching this series and I am so sad I’m finished. It is so good! Everything works! I love these characters and how things developed between them, all while getting their backstories. Fabulous TV. I am hooked! Can’t wait for future seasons!
BEST SHOW EVER!
Im hooked! love the special connections between the characters and how they help each other……..love the writing like someone posted earlier “In a class of it’s own”
I could not stop watching them. I love SciFi but this is unique, better and very well done than any series made before.
You got me having, and I want to see more!!!! I’m sure there are many other viewers who will feel the same.
I think it needs more publicity and it will have all the numbers you need to have the next household name like the “Xfiles”.
There’s Good TV (The Flash, Arrow, Gotham), Great TV (Game of Thrones, Vikings), Awesome TV (Breaking Bad, Sherlock) and then there’s Sense8. It’s in a class of it’s own – the New Standard. I want all proposed five seasons – Netflix please renew.
I went through all 12 epesodes in three days. Wow, it kept me sitting on the end of my chair. NetFlex better re-new the series or I’ll cancel my membership. And I’m not kidding….
Wow…that was such a great review, I’m going to watch this! Thanks for posting this.
