Ok so, finished watching Sense8 season 2 yesterday with the wife, and I loved it. Was curious what others thought of the show.
I personally find the show awesome, but I am a bit biased when it comes to JMS. But I love the feel of the show, the cast seems to have genuine chemistry with each other, and seem to genuinely have fun doing the scenes. And the level of intrigue, and how the two factions fight each other is incredibly fun.
My personal favorite is Lito. Holy fuckballs do I love this character, and the actor who plays him. He is just so much damn fun to watch. He is definitely the comic relief of the show, given how his entire life has a Telanovella feel to it, but he's also got some really heartfelt storylines, and even gets to be a badass from time to time.
I've enjoyed how his coming out has effected things, in how he's becoming a big icon in the LGBTQ community, but at the cost of the world he's worked in so far. It's been heartbreaking to see him being ostracized, but also equally awesome to see him being embraced from the other community.
I was sad that his director from Season 1 didn't have a scene where he hired Lito for a new movie, and they got to have a moment where the director would say that he didn't care who Lito screwed off camera. Given he had a scene early on where he said to Lito "I don't need you to be yourself, I need you to be THIS GUY. Can you do that?" I was hoping that character would be accepting, given he doesn't need Lito to be Lito, but to be the character. But, maybe the guy will show up in season 3 or something.
I liked the cinematography, in how they were improving the imagery used to show them working in unison. Subtle camera panning shots, with everyone being revealed in the background, and then fading out again. Transitions from one character to the other, showing them all stalking someone.
I did find it kind of funny, how many times they came up with an excuse to have one of them almost naked in pretty much every episode. Sun especially had a LOT of scenes where she is running around in boy shorts and a bra. I joked with a friend that it seemed like they had it written where if she so much as sneezed, her clothes would come off.
Overall, really enjoyed the show, already want season 3 to be here.
What did you all think of it?
