Top 10 OTT Shows as Rated by IMDb Users7 of 10
4. "Sense8" – Rating: 8.4
"Sense8" is another Netflix series that seems to have cult hit-status, only because you rarely hear about it as much as some others. So far, only 59,275 users have contributed to its rating, as opposed to six figures for "Orange is the New Black," "House of Cards," and "Arrested Development." This series follows eight strangers from around the world who suddenly have a common vision and realize they are mentally and emotionally connected.
This is a seriously polarizing one, eliciting strong opinions from IMDb reviewers. A fan of the show writes: While most TV and movies nowadays are always aiming to be bigger and more explosive, Sense8 almost feels as if it is taking a step back; instead of throwing more and more outrageous action sequences and special effects at the screen, it strips those things away to get back to the real meat of storytelling. Which is, quite simply, people. The characters are what drive this masterpiece - each one is engaging, complex, unique, and draws you in emotionally from the get-go.
