Sense8	comment	Sense8 (pronounced as 'sense-eight' or 'sensate') is a 2015 Netflix original series jointly created by The Wachowskis with J. Michael Straczynski.Following a traumatic event, eight strangers in eight different parts of the world find themselves telepathically and empathetically linked. While they struggle both with this new connection and with their own personal lives, forces beyond their control seek to manipulate or destroy them. Now the eight must work together, lending each other their different skill sets and experiences, as they try to get the bottom of who and why.Sense8 was released on Netflix on June 5, 2015. Watch the first trailer here, the Reborn trailer here, and the Seven Other Selves trailer here.Its second season was officially announced on August 8, 2015, itself the in-universe shared date of birth of the sensate protagonists. The first trailer for Season 2 was released on December 16, 2016 with a release date set for May 5, 2017. A two-hour Christmas Episode setting up plot threads for Season 2 was released on December 23, 2016.On June 1st 2017, Netflix cancelled the show. However, intense fan pressure led to Netflix green-lighting a two-and-a-half hour special to conclude the story and most of the major plot points.See also: In Your Eyes and Six Chances

Sense8 / int_18aff462	type	Artistic License â€“ Biology
Sense8 / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License â€“ Biology: Sorry, Jonas, one chromosomal mutation (which he alleges could be the difference between normal people and sensates) does not a different species make. If you aren't regularly engaging in fighting or hand-to-hand combat, your body just isn't going to have the strength and dexterity to pull off epic kick-boxing or Waif-Fu moves on the fly, even if a more experienced person should happen to be put in the driving seat. While there's not really any way to confirm this, at the very least doing such moves unprepared should result in severe sprains and serious downtime - more than half of martial arts training is simply going through said sprains and downtime to increase flexibility. note As an extreme example, while training to film The Forbidden Kingdom, three men basically rack-stretched Michael Angarano until his muscles and ligaments tore, then forced him to practice while he was healing. Three weeks of limping later, he could do a full split. Additionally, whoever happens to be controlling the body would likely be used to moving with a very different centre of gravity due to a different height or weight, and thus less able to effectively manage their temporary body; and several of the skills that the Sensates loan to each other rely on muscle memories that another person's body isn't likely to have. To put it another way; even if a professional gymnast took over your body for a short period of time, it's not going to make you any more physically capable of competing in the Olympics.

The Sensates are scattered across the globe. The finale is the first time any of them has ever physically met another of their cluster. Most of them don't even live on the same (sub)continent.

For someone from Western Europe, particularly the UK, Whispers must either descend to Clueless Detective or be really blinded by the assumption that the cluster is stupid if he doesn't consider the fact that Iceland is right next to the UK and Scandinavia in a subcontinent without border controls - there is absolutely nothing stopping them from hitching a boat to Scotland/Norway and then driving to anywhere in Western Europe, then potentially getting a boat across any central European body of water to get even further, completely undocumented (so the BPO wouldn't have any travel flags on them). They only bother going as far as Amsterdam, but they do actually do this. Riley's DJ connections across Europe keep them stocked with new squats and drugs, something Whispers should have been able to predict, too.

Riley's heavy drug use is crucial when she isn't responsive to sedatives and BPO has to fully sedate her, meaning she's completely unconscious when Whispers gets to her and he can't make eye contact, protecting the rest of the cluster. The taser Rajan mistakes for a gun in the finale which he uses to restart Kala's heart after she is shot by Lila.

To point this out, the visit between Capheus and Riley has them actually speaking English, but surprised that the other knows it. Sometimes justified: being from Kenya and India means that Capheus and Kala can also speak good English when they do meet others. Riley is fluent in English, as Iceland is right next to the UK and she's lived in London for a while.

These are two characters vying for the position of alpha male, and Wolfgang is the clear victor, having performed the impossible feat of cracking an uncrackable safe. Steiner cannot accept this as fact, because it would mean that Wolfgang is more of a "man" than him, so he demands Wolfgang admit that it is a lie. Likewise, Wolfgang's fatal flaw is that he is unwilling to compromise his well-earned "manhood" even in the face of death. He cannot give Steiner the satisfaction of feeling superior. Only Lito, who has made a career out of pretending to be someone he's not, has the ability to give Steiner what he wants.

Hoy avoids detection by meeting other Sensates while sitting in a small wooden box. He also carries a cane with an eye-catching handle. He evokes the image of the Doctor more when he's cleaned up in the finale. An odd double-reversed example: Nomi and Neets meet with a member of Anonymous to get an "e-death" program, he wears their typical Guy Fawkes mask and at some point he starts speaking in alliterations full of 'V's... which of course was inspired by the Wachowski-written film adaptation V for Vendetta.

Whenever the topic of the regular humans vs sensates comes up, the show would have you think that compassion was invented by sensates and grudgingly adopted by humans. One anthropologist even hypothesizes that the advantage homo sapiens has is the ability to lie, and they probably wiped most sensates out in the past (like the Neanderthals). A less-evil — and 100% human — member of BPO states that he believes the entire concept of empathy is the result of humans subconsciously mimicking sensates just before Whispers has a remote-controlled lobotomized sensate stab him in the neck with the handle of a paintbrush.

Sense8 / int_401d4116	type	Broken Aesop
Sense8 / int_401d4116	comment	Broken Aesop: The show deals with themes of empathy and how all people are connected by their shared experiences. However, even though callous acts of cruelty on the part of characters the show sees as villains are depicted as the wrong way to live, when those in the cluster brutally beat up or murder people. Treating violence as empowering seems out of place with the show's themes, especially since the people they hurt aren't always acting out of a place of cruelty to begin with. For example, when Sun is trying to save Nomi from the research facility in Iceland, she encounters a middle aged security guard on a walkway trying to apprehend her; she promptly pushes him off the side of the walkway, causing him to fall six stories. Aside from working with BPO to abduct and lobotomise an innocent woman, there's no other indication that this security guard had any knowledge of what was going on at the facility, or that he was a bad person, but he ends up badly injured or dead and the show treats this as a cool action moment despite its theme of compassion. In another example, in the third episode of Season 2, Sun is taken to a secluded location of the prison and hanged by three guards with Tazers, only surviving thanks to a fellow prisoner sneaking out and driving a broken broom handle through the chest of one of the guards, giving Sun, Wolfgang and Will a chance to team up and snap the necks of the other two - followed by a high-intensity jailbreak where they gleefully knock a guard unconscious who is not involved in the murder attempt (this may have been necessary, however, as the guard would probably not have let Sun just walk out of prison uncontested). Such acts of violence are a common thread in action scenes throughout the series; Both Straczynski and the Wachowskis seem to enjoy killing mooks who are Just Following Orders.

Sense8 / int_4160410d	comment	The ending of the first season hints at the plotlines to come.

Sense8 / int_466ccbb4	type	Gayngst
Sense8 / int_466ccbb4	comment	Gayngst: The series has an unusually sophisticated portrayal of this. Lito at first doesn't seem to be conflicted about his sexuality at all, sharing a happy, if secret, relationship with his boyfriend and only being in the closet to be able to have an action movie lead career in conservative, Catholic Mexico. But when plot reasons force him to either let a friend suffer or let a blackmailer publicly out him, it turns out that he does have some internalized homophobia, claiming "I'm not a fag!" when a man ever so gently tries hitting on him in semi-public. He needs a serious talk from a trans woman about "the violence we do to ourselves" to finally accept himself fully (and go kiss the guy who'd come on to him to prove it). Also, one gets the impression that his boyfriend broke up with him not so much because he was going to let their friend marry an abusive man rather than risk getting outed, but because said boyfriend had been quietly suffering being hidden from the public like a dirty secret for years, and the incident finally made him realize that he couldn't bear that any longer. In the second season, after getting outed, the couple suffers public disapproval and negative consequences to their professional careers. Nomi, the lesbian trans woman mentioned above, is in a very happy relationship and surrounds herself with the accepting San Francisco LGBT community, and she doesn't have any internalized trans- or homophobia (anymore - she explains to Lito that she did try very hard to be "normal" as a child / young teenager, until an incident of brutally violent bullying from the boys at her swim club made her give up trying to be like them). But her estranged mother completely refuses to accept her as a woman, she has a very scary run-in with the medical establishment not treating her like a sane adult able to make her own decisions, and the trans-excluding radical feminist "friends" of her girlfriend got pretty nasty towards her during a flashback scene.

Except for the final scene, where she sings it to an incapacitated Will after finally having overcome her bad experience on the mountain, and found the will to get herself and her rescuer to safety. She even sings it with a faint smile, whereas before she only sang it with a look of dread or despair.

Sense8 / int_729c69f3	comment	Politically Incorrect Villain: A lot of the antagonists within each Sensate's private circle fall into this. Nomi's mother is a homo/transphobic Bible-thumper who refuses to acknowledge her daughter's gender. Nomi's father shared many of the same views until the episode "What Family Means". Sun's father and brother both show a critical lack of respect for her because she's a woman. Daniela's ex-boyfriend Joaquin regularly beat her when they were dating, and dismisses this abuse as a normal part of his Mexican machismo. He also throws homophobic slurs at Lito. BPO itself appears to be a global version of the above; beyond the whole "hunt and exterminate sensates" thing, the single most notable assassination target of their lobotomized Sensates is a politician giving the following speech in a mosque: And at this point, someone opens fire with an automatic weapon, killing dozens of listeners along with the targeted politician, clearly establishing that whoever runs BPO, they want to create a mono-cultural, repressive society.

Nomi's family is dismissive of her gender, she tells Lito about a traumatic incident regarding her father in the past, and her mother's reaction to her needing surgery is that she'll have to fall back on the family's insurance. Wolfgang's father was physically and emotionally abusive all the way until his death and there's no mention of his mother. At least, not until the Finale Movie, where his mother is revealed to also be his sister in a squick-stravaganza flashback while he's under sedation at the Zombie Assassin facility. Riley blames herself for her mother's, husband's, and child's deaths but has a good relationship with her father. Sun's father heavily favored her irresponsible brother, to the point of asking her to take the fall for him. Capheus's mother has AIDS, and had to give up his baby sister when Capheus was young so she wouldn't die of starvation. Subverted with Lito's family. Once he comes out to the world, he was afraid that his mother would disown him but she knew all along and was proud to finally see him accept his homosexuality. However, there's no mention of his father or other family members. Downplayed with Will; he has to deal with his father's alcoholism and criticism but they seem to have an otherwise good relationship.

However, it wouldn't really make sense for over a year to have passed since the events of season 1. If it is still 2015 during the Christmas special, then their birthyear is 1987. Riley has the number 8 (or an infinity symbol) tattooed on the back her neck, and Jela holds a card with an 8 on it while recruiting passengers for Capheus's bus. Several of the main cluster get childhood flashbacks where they are specifically stated to be 8 years old at the time. A clever one built into a callback in season 2; Lito returns to the bar where he asked for a double tequila followed by a second order of double the first order, "tequila squared" - upon seeing him, the bartender asks if we wants "tequila squared" again, and he says "cubed" - yes, that's 8 shots of tequila, one for each member of the cluster.

Sun also discovers her brother's embezzlement scheme involved moving funds away from the selling and distribution of these drugs. The diamonds that Wolfgang stole were black market goods smuggled into Germany from Mumbai. And Daniela's father is implied to be involved in shady import-export dealings, which could relate to smuggling and/or drug trafficking. Nyx, the villain who is still looking for Riley in the UK, is a drug dealer, specifically dealing in the trade of a special drug that simulates some of the effects of being a sensate.

Wolfgang's general thuggery and borderline insane fearlessness comes in useful. Surprisingly, his thieving skills aren't used in the first season by anyone else. In the Christmas special, he helps Lito break into his apartment building after he's evicted for being gay, and in season 2 he cracks Whispers' safe. Sun's martial arts are used whenever Will and Wolfgang's fighting skills aren't enough. Capheus's vehicular skills, which include driving and eventually hotwiring. Nomi's hacking, which gets them the information they need and the ability to access restricted places. Kala's biological and pharmaceutical knowledge; particularly when it comes to antidotes or bomb-building. In season 2, she figures out how to make blocker pills for the cluster. Lito's acting and skill with seduction, which the cluster uses when charming, distracting, bluffing, lying or otherwise getting information from people. As of season 2, Riley's musical contacts in Europe helped keep parts of the cluster off grid, accessing underground abandoned locations for housing, drug laboratories for research, not to mention food and supplies while she and Will were on the run. She also used her music to connect to other clusters and is basically functioning as the 08/08 cluster's ambassador to people like Puck and the Old Man of Hoy.

Sense8 / int_ae2e5e4d	comment	All-Stereotype Cast: Due to having to introduce eight storylines all at once, the global cast comprises national stereotypes so the audience doesn't have to fill in the blanks as much. The protagonists are a serious, possibly sociopathic German; a queer San Franciscan intellectual; a quiet, stoic Korean who is a champion kickboxer; a macho Telenovela actor from Mexico; a cool Scandinavian DJ; a nice all-American cop; a woman from India nervous about her upcoming wedding (complete with a Bollywood dance number early in the first season); and a poor Kenyan man with a mother who is dying of AIDS. The characters are fleshed out and allowed to be more than these stereotypes, however, even playing with some of them (e.g., the macho Mexican actor is a closeted gay man, and the Indian woman is a religious scientist).

Rajan "reassures" her that it's only going to non-Indians. This makes her feel even worse because effectively seven-eighths of her isn't in India, so she asks exactly where they go. He says maybe China or Africa, terrifying her; Capheus lives in Africa, he's working himself half-dead, even getting involved in organized crime to buy HIV medication for his mother, and it's not working as well as it should.

Sense8 / int_dd6ce5db	comment	Artistic License: The first episode of the series takes place during San Fransisco Pride, which is always the last weekend of June, and episode 10 takes place on Independence Day which is always July 4th. Assuming the year is 2015, SF Pride began on June 27th, which means the entire span of time between episode one and episode 10 was exactly one week. But there were clearly more intervening days than seven. Averted (for the most part) when it comes to timezones. Subverted with representation of dates in other countries; the dates on the headstones of Wolfgang's father in Germany and Riley's husband and daughter in Iceland read DD/MM/YYYY, as opposed to the American standard of MM/DD/YYYY. During the third episode, the date and day of the week are clearly visible on Kala's iPhone: Thursday, June 25th. Assuming the year is 2015, June 25th was indeed a Thursday. However, this is still theoretically before SF Pride, which was supposed to have happened in previous episodes.

Sense8 / int_dda99fa8	type	Despair Event Horizon
Sense8 / int_dda99fa8	comment	Despair Event Horizon: Pretty much every major character skirts the line, before being pulled back from the brink by another sensate. Notably, Jonas crosses it after Will meets Whispers face to face, even suggesting that Will give up and Whispers has already won. Riley's entire arc is her recovering from crossing it years ago after her traumatic experience on the mountain. Capheus has his brush with it, ready to throw in the towel after the Superpower gang robs his bus and takes his mother's medicine. Luckily for him at that moment, Will was getting ready to unload some ammo at a gun range (getting into the "zone" as it were) and Sun was walking into a boxing ring. Channeling their emotions puts him in the mindset to go and get back the stuff.

Sense8 / int_e11b003d	comment	Translation Convention: Most of the time the audience hears English, regardless of what language the characters are speaking. Spanish sounds like English spoke with a Spanish accent, Hindi sounds like English spoken with a Hindi accent, etc. (Of course, Riley also sounds like she's speaking English with an Icelandic accent when she actually is speaking English with an Icelandic accent.) The cluster can all understand each other no matter the language they are speaking, and thus so can we. It is implied that they hear each other in the language that they understand the most. The only time it's not used is when a member of the cluster starts speaking another's language.

Averted, however, come the finale, as she manages to get Will to safety away from Whispers, saving the whole cluster in the process, and will presumably protect him now that he's become The Load. In season two, she is the person with the most contacts to help survive on the run with Will finding housing, drugs, and laboratories in Europe. She also functions as the 08/08 ambassador to other clusters.
