    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. 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, muchSo, 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. 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

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

    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.

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