Because your humble reviewer likes to archive content for later viewing, I found myself watching episodes from this show, Humans, and Heroes Reborn more or less in the same time period.
And, from that perspective, it was no great leap to understand that they are all telling the same story (Mankind's terminal and persistent resistance to change) in their own unique way.
My notes may be helpful, or not:
1. All 3 shows owe a debt of gratitude to Stan Lee and the team behind X-Men, the first narrative in the modern era to seriously explore this key theme.
2. All 3 shows can be seen as aspects of the whole -- Sense8 loves its images, and can be considered the right brain or sensory aspect of the story; Heroes (the disappointing 2015 version) is entirely left-brain, all about the front-story, back-story, the narrative, the dialog, the voice-over. And Humans is the soul of the piece, even without the skills of LA FAMILLE WACHOWSKI, there are unique scenes in Humans which drill deep into your subconscious and never let go.
3. All three series are in their own way brilliant and yet seriously flawed. Humans, probably the best of the bunch, crammed so much emotion into its first season that even the fans are wondering if there is any ammunition left for another go? Sense8 falls to the sin of narcissism. It is so in love with its own images that it even repeats them episode to episode. And by e10, most loyal viewers have seen enough child-birthing to qualify for Early Admission into a Gynecology program. And Heroes "reborn" while perky and different on its own is merely a ghost, a phantasm of what the original was. (But you have to be over 20 to know that, and the demographic of the show deliberately does not aim that high.)
All great TV, but none perfect.
And thanks again, Professor X.
