Finished season 1 of Sense8. Great stuff. Pity that it was cancelled after season 2, but at least they had the chance to have a long final episode.
I think this story works brilliantly in a series, in a movie it would have all been so rushed. Take Tenet for example (mild spoilers follow):
Movie: "So, there are objects and people that move backwards in time, like this bullet. Get it?"
Audience: "mh, yeah, I guess, maybe let me wrap my head around it a bit bett-"
Movie: "NO TIME! ACTION SEQUENCE! PLANE CRASHING INTO A BUILDING! FIGHTS! MASSIVE BATTLE!"
Geez. Sense8 instead has the luxury of 12 hours, and therefore you can digest the premise better and enjoy all the interactions of the characters.
I also love how it's all intertwined - it's not "ok, 2-3 episodes of exposition and then it's all action scenes", every episode there's the human connection between the characters and when they cooperate and help each other, it's badass and entertaining and at times heartfelt.
Some moments are over the top, some others are cheesy, but overall it's a very enjoyable shows and, even though it's been cut short, I hope season 2 will be as good as the first.
