Hi all,
This is Adnan from Karachi, Pakistan.
This show is amazing, no doubt about it; the thing is i stopped watching it twice. Honestly, after the first episode i was like, WTF.... I mean I have nothing against people being gay or lesbian or bisexual or whatever, but this show seemed too over the top. After a week or so I picked it up again and watched a couple of more episodes and didn't want to see anymore. The stories were all going their own way and the sub plots were confusing or seemed superfluous. It was difficult to make sense of it all.
Coincidentally I was watching V for Vendetta (a movie I love) with my teenage daughter (trying to nudge her towards good cinema i suppose....) when it hit me that the Wachowski siblings were a duo I respected a lot and as they were the creators of the show I decided to give Sense8 another chance.
Well, thankfully i went past episode four and the show began to make sense. It is an amazingly well crafted piece of television. The elaborate back story of the eight main characters needed those first four episodes to make the viewer comfortable with the cast and the very real characters they play. The show has amazing depth and the grief or excitement or fear or love or lust or anger or remorse or whatever emotion the character is feeling seems real and the viewer is pulled into the universe to the point where the viewer begins to wish that he was part of Sense8.
My suggestion to all of you, get past the first four episodes and watch the whole season, you will not regret it.
