The best thing season two does is dig into both how alluring and how dangerous the sensates’ connection is.
-
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.
-
Visually, it remains one of the most beautiful and dynamic series on Netflix’s roster. ... The show is always strongest when focused on the sensates working together.
-
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.
-
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.
-
When Sense8 returns the sensates to their distinct and isolated story arcs, the series still falters.
-
For all its evident ambition, and its veneer of inclusion, Sense8 is no more interested in the messy details of progress than The Avengers.
