Sense8 - A Christmas Special Netflix Series Review
Sense8 (2015)
Christmas Special (2016)
Watch Sense8 - A Christmas Special on Netflix
Created by: Lilly Wachowski
Starring: Aml Ameen, Doona Bae, Jamie Clayton, Tuppence Middleton, Naveen Andrews, Daryl Hannah
Rated: TV-MA
Plot
This sci-fi thriller was created by the Wachowskis. Eight people from around the world are telepathically linked.
Verdict
If you like this show you'll like the special as you wait for season 2. The problems I have with the special are the same I had with season 1. There are equal parts I like and don't like.
The development of the characters is uneven, some are really good, some are kind of flat. It often goes over the top just for the shock value.
The core concept that people from vastly different backgrounds and regions aren't all that different. This captures the main idea of a Christmas special, something fun just outside of the main story.
It depends.
Review
This special bridges the gap between season 1 (read my review) and season 2 which premieres May 5, 2017.
When we last saw the group, they were finally all together though the villain Whisper could potentially infiltrate the group. In the lead up to the finale of season one, Riley (Tuppence Middleton) to told to kill herself to protect the group so that Whisper can't infiltrate her thoughts and find them. Her love interest Will (Brian J. Smith) convinces her not to and has his mind infiltrated by Whisper. Jonas (Naveen Andrews) tells him to kill himself, but he takes enough sedatives to render himself unconscious so that Whisper couldn't follow him.
This special is a soft reset, with no immediate threat or danger. It lampshades the new actor for Van Damme fan Capheus, mentioning his new haircut.
Half way in this seemed to miss the point of a Christmas special. I had yet to see anything Christmas related. It seemed more like a bridge from season 1 to season 2.They share a birthday and celebrate before recreating the orgy scene from season 1 episode 8. To what end?
This special has more of the same drama but none of the drive. The bad guy was close in season 1, and now he's a non-factor.
This does focus more on fun and finally works its way to Christmas in the last half hour. It's not a bad Christmas special. If you like the show, you'll like this. It's a show meant to connect people from different backgrounds. As different as they are, each share similarities. I applaud the show for that, but season 1, and this special, often have me ask, "Did I need to see that?" It often seems to go too far just for the sake of it. This Christmas special encapsulates the show in two hours,t heir abilities create some great moments when they visit each other, it's got great fighting choreography, and there is an orgy.

Sense8 Season 1 TV Review
Sense8 (2015-)
Created by: Lilly Wachowski
Starring: Aml Ameen, Doona Bae, Jamie Clayton, Tuppence Middleton, Naveen Andrews, Daryl Hannah
Plot:
This original Netflix sci-fi thriller was created by the Wachowskis. Eight people from around the world are telepathically linked.
Verdict:
Sense8 has a great concept which leads to some surreal and engrossing scenes, but it lacks focus. The first half of the season introduces the concept over and over and lacks a destination. Finally at half way through we get into a little bit of plot and the show finds its legs. With a plot in place I hope season two has a focus and an end goal. It reminds me slightly of Heroes. The first half is a skip, the second half isn't bad.
It depends.
Recap
It starts with telepathy and people psychically linked. The characters get over the shock of moving in and out of each others thoughts rather quickly.
I could forgive the first episode for being heavy on character setup and not having a plot, but after a few episodes of that I wanted something to happen. What is the point of this show?
I kept hoping for something to happen. With all of these characters, the show just treads water.
The fight choreography is really well done as it seamlessly switches between two characters in the same fight. Since they can inhabit each others thoughts, fights can quickly change direction, for better or worse. This group can't control their telepathy yet. As slick as some of the editing is, it doesn't make up for the lack of plot.
It takes until episode four before we get a hint of what's going on. There are multiple groups of eight that share a psychic bond. If you're hoping to find out more about that in season one, you'll be disappointed.
I want to like this show, and I like the concept but it has no direction. It juxtaposes characters in each others lives, hoping we won't notice there is yet to be a plot. Episode six includes a full blown orgy between the eight, and then in episode seven it begins the plot. Episode eight introduces a villain and they actually have a reason to interact with each other to win fights and share information as they track down the big bad.
It maintains a certain amount of tension. Will one of the sensates appear to win the fight? Who will it be?
This group of eight all shard the same birth date and year. I get the concept of seeing each of the sensates being born during they recital, but it was too graphic. In episode ten, I saw not one but two crowning babies. Why? Come on! Did I mention we also get to see a c-section? Some things are better left to the imagination.
This show follows the Netflix template of starting incredibly slow. I guess it's a test for the real fans to see who sticks with the show. The final episode, twelve, is easily the best. All of the characters come together in a daring rescue.
This reminds me of Heroes, with a group of characters inexplicably linked. While the first season of Heroes was solid and then it devolved to nonsense, I'm hoping Sense8's meandering first season continues the plot threads introduced towards the end for a focused season two.
