The best thing season two does is dig into both how alluring and how dangerous the sensates’ connection is. Read full review

The show’s second season continues to appropriately evolve this year, doing a good job of not only expanding upon--and answering--central questions raised by the end of season 1, but also not being coy with finally explaining the Big Mysteries and introducing new knots for viewers to unravel.

It’s a dizzying, bewildering, wonderful joy to watch their communal moments. Read full review

Sense8 is more visual feast and emotional touchstone than it is heavyweight story or smart puzzle. For some, it will be a guilty pleasure, but that might be selling short the important "love is love" message it espouses. Sense8 is probably better described as a series you experience more than understand. Read full review

Television is the medium that grants auteurs the most creativity. It can lead to indulgent storytelling, but in the case of a series like Sense8, real artistry, too. Read full review

When Sense8 returns the sensates to their distinct and isolated story arcs, the series still falters. Read full review

For all its evident ambition, and its veneer of inclusion, Sense8 is no more interested in the messy details of progress than The Avengers. Read full review

'Sense8' is a celebration of life, love and all things that are more important in this life. Although this season focuses more on storyline development, one can only say that it is one hell of a ride.

Season 2 of Sense8 brings the idea that the first season represented to a head with its variation of character combinations and storylines.

They are the heartSeason 2 of Sense8 brings the idea that the first season represented to a head with its variation of character combinations and storylines. You feel for the characters and their relationships, both inside their "cluster" (the group of eight intertwined people) and out. They are the heart of this story and it works wonders. You feel for their problems, their identities, and their uniqueness. Each person has a clear problem and personality that wasn't felt in the first season.

Juggling eight main characters and storylines is difficult, but this season manages it better than the first, bringing together the weaker characters (either physically or within their minds) and testing different pairings. There are times where I forgot about a character or noticed that the show wasn't spending enough time on one, but these were few and far between; this season handles it far better than the first.

The editing and cinematography in this second season fairs far better than the first season because the directors allow it to get dramatic. These fights are no longer one on one, and I felt myself rooting for the protagonists that I don't think I have before. Every time the sensates come together to solve a problem, I end up shouting from my computer for them to succeed. There are hints in this season of what this show can possibly do to trump what they have done, even now, and I cannot wait to see what the developers have in store for the next season.… Expand

Though the excitement from the novelty of the concept introduced in the first season has worn off, the series has done well to keep viewers interested in what happens to the eight characters after their sense8 revelation and where they end up.

So, so painful to watch. The trans character is obviously the writer (who is trans) working through their family/mommy/acceptance issues and the like in public and dragging the audience along with rather than working through it on the couch with a therapist.

The trans character is obviously the writer (who is trans) working through their family/mommy/acceptance issues and the like in public and dragging the audience along with rather than working through it on the couch with a therapist. If I was interested in that, I'd watch a different show about it. None of this has anything to do with the show or story, much like the other character's totally contrived dramas but that one is the worst. The ending to the season was shameful, I've never seen a worse ending to a season in my life. 2/3 of the episode is total nonsense and then a twist at the end that needed to be set up throughout the season for it to land properly but instead of spending time on the only thing that matters, the Sense8 plot thread, they spend it at gay pride, tranny weddings, dramas about breakups and get-togethers that just aren't believable. Really embarrassing show for Netflix, I wouldn't have put my name on this crap if I were them and for the writers, ugh, just the worst and overly indulgent pile of nonsense ever. Never watching anything with their name on it again and I hope they retire as the world does not need more steaming piles of crap in it than it already has.… Expand
