SENSE 8: A SHORT LIVED MASTERPIECE

Sense 8 was a slept on underground Netflix show that had a large underground fan base,and I say underground because they never promoted the show. And honestly,promotion is really what matters on networks like Netflix because they know the shows they have are good but when the numbers aren’t backing up the belief then it’s bye bye to that show.

Although the show’s budget is extremely high. It was quite complex,the concept was very very dope…the ability to be; in lame man’s term,telepathically linked to seven other people who you can share things like,feelings and skill sets with.

 These people are spread round the world and that’s where the matter of budget comes in. I do not know how but the Wachowski’s(show creators) managed to shoot in about 5 different countries in order to capture and make it even more realistic..

For a very ambitious show that has several mind boggling plot points,sense 8 manages to focus more on it’s characters and initially I hated that the only science fiction plot point it embraced was their connection. Now,before I confuse a lot of you reading,let me try to summarize the whole thing;

Sense 8 tells the story of 8 random people from different places who get linked together. They are able to feel and act like each other. Okay maybe I didn’t explain it well but just know they are all telepathically connected and are kind of network routers that can share information and knowledge among each other.

I think Netflix made a big mistake not giving this show at least 5 seasons but I guess they did have the decency to give it a finale that rounded up the major plot points in a partially fulfilling way. If I was a Netflix exec,I would give it 5 seasons,at least 3 spinoffs and end the show with a theatrical release like David Ayer’s Bright.

 I still feel cheated because the second seasn opened up so many possibilities and showed so much potential. They were finally going in deep into who sense 8’s were,how they reproduced and why they existed.

 Again even if you do not like this show, you will definitely appreciate the level of detail put into it. Every country feels alive and accurate. The accents are straight on and the acting is just amazing. Also, the use of music(especially opera) in specific episodes will not only wow you,but they will also break your heart to the core. 

I feel like a lot of people didn’t see it because Netflix’s advertisement team pitched the show as nothing but an orgy fest when that is only but a mere scratch of the show’s broad surface. If they had put a little more effort into showing the show’s primary story more than maybe a lot of more people would have shown interest. Now it has ended as a sleeper cult series with a very little fanbase. 

 So all in all,if you're a fan of sci-fi and maybe orgies,you should definitely try this out because it is one of those few shows that only exist every decade or so. It's as breathtaking as Game Of Thrones in my opinion you should try it out and if you've seen it tell me what you think in the comment section down below.
