Sense8

[Plenum]

Sense8; is there anyone here who watches this show? Incredible... There is such depth in it... Like watching a block of granite being carved in to the most amazing statue... My favorite kind of collective meditation at the moment, it opens doors and connects us...

Just started watching Sense8 yesterday, and am quite digging it.

It's made by the guys behind the Matrix, which is cool, I dug that movie.  But what I didn't know was that JMS was involved.  JMS is the guy behind Babylon5, one of the landmark scifi tv shows.  JMS wrote 92 out of 110 Bab5 episodes, and it's a series way less known than Star Trek, but it's equal in terms of a future vision.

Senes8 has the feel of Lost, in terms of the emphasis on the characters, with the plot being important, but ultimately second fiddle to the characters that you really come to like.  But it develops much faster than Lost, and the way things are shot and cut these days, they have a movie-like quality, rather than just an ordinary tv-soapie.

I'm halfway through episode 5, and really glad I gave it a go.  First episode is a bit all over the place; and not sure I was going to stay with it.

But JMS is da bomb!
