Critics Consensus
Sense8 maintains its stunning visuals, Wachowski wackiness, and great heart -- though its individual characters deserve more development.
Sonia Rao Washington Post 06/26/2018 Sense8 avoids tokenizing its characters, which involves giving each sensate a full backstory that helps viewers understand what motivates them. Go to Full Review Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya New York Magazine/Vulture 11/21/2017 The season premiere doesn't feature any of those over-the-top sequences, instead relying on the more measured and delicately unfolding thrills that Sense8 thrived on in its earliest episodes. Go to Full Review David Goldberg Entertainment Weekly 08/29/2017 If I had to boil what I love about Sense8 down to a top three, I'd say that the show's greatest assets are montages, orgy scenes, and group hugs. Go to Full Review Ruksana Faraon Mediaversity Reviews 09/19/2020 Sense8 does not fail on race, but it's important to note that Wachowskis and their collaborators are trying to dissolve the boundaries of skin color through a lens that is still white and Eurocentric. Go to Full Review Jonathon Dornbush IGN Movies 05/22/2019 Season 2 is such a beautiful examination of the themes of love, human relationships, and what identity is that the messy or less enthralling moments are worth pushing through.

David D @Viscro Feb 10 I cannot comprehend how good this show is. It isn't perfect, but its peaks are so overwhelmingly good, that I gladly forgive its flaws. The fact that this show manages to have 8 main characters and do each and every one of them justice is a remarkable achievement by itself. But Sense8 is also a sci-fi story with a completely unique premise, flawlessly coreographed action scenes, and incredible cinematography that gets as close to capturing the experience of being a senseate as is possible within the confines of this medium. And all that without CGI, shot on location all over the world, with 8 characters. But most of all, Sense8 manages to fire off volley after volley of emotional moments without missing the mark even once. I can't remember any show, movie, book or videogame that managed to evoke so many feelings in me. I don't use this word lightly, but Sense8 is truly a masterpiece. Its only unforgiveable flaw is that it clearly could've used one more season, but that's on Netflix. See more Lee T @Shoopuf 05/24/2024 Amazing show, seriously sad it got canceled. See more Al P @TheStefannel 09/10/2023 4/5 Start. It is very interesting and full of action. Removing one star because of: - excessive LGBT+ propaganda - the last 2 episodes are really rushed as they really wanted to pack up and finish the show. It's a shame it ended this way. See more Gabriel @RT13383360 01/01/2023 Can't believe I waited this long to watch it! I watched all the episodes and finished the whole series in no time, it is a masterpiece! See more Johanna O @RT82090721 10/11/2022 I liked this season better than the first. See more 08/02/2022 What I truly like about this show is it always promotes positivity in each episodes. You wouldn't bother so much about the plot because every episode has satisfying consequences but you will continue watching because you love the characters and how amazing their cluster is.
