Review of Sense8

Sense8 (2015–2018)
9/10
A Masterpiece cut short by evil Netflix
27 January 2021
This show is another masterpiece by the Wachowskis. A bit eclectic?, sure. A bit overindulgent on occasion?...absolutely. But the quality and depth of this series is many layers beyond the typical drivel being produced today, whether cable or streamed. Many strikes against Netflix in my book for cancelling this show prematurely in order to fund a larger quantity of banal junk food for the masses. Sure, there is sadly a demand for that, but finish what you started, have some integrity. I will never forgive Netflix for terminating Marco Polo and Sense8 unfinished. For now, all that can be done is rewatch it and enjoy.

I just finished my second time through, love, love, love it. Compared to the shallow writing and acting in so many other series, everything here is magnificent. Simply excellent writing, directing, cinematography, and acting. Oh, the acting...the characters...I am completely in love with every single character, and there are so many. Wachowskis--I love you, thank you for contributing to some of my most treasured and favorite works--The Matrix, Cloud Atlas, and Sense8.
