It is one of its highly acclaimed series which, canceled too soon, was entitled to a final chapter thanks to the massive mobilization of its fans: we named “Sense8”, the enigmatic, the extraordinary, the sublime.
A true phenomenon series from Netflix, Sense8 is a television UFO that transports its viewer to the heart of life, the real, real and complicated one, with its share of happiness and drama, and its many complex and in-depth characters, each with an exciting identity. to discover.
Indeed, in the series, eight individuals, living in the four corners of the world, are suddenly connected by a violent vision. Now linked, they find themselves able from one day to the next to see, feel, hear and speak to each other as if they were next door. But this strange connection also allows them to access each other’s darkest secrets. In search of answers, they try as best they can to adapt while fleeing an organization determined to capture and study them.
Unique, humanist and emotional, the series benefits from the expertise of Lana and Lilly Wachowski (Matrix) as well as Joseph Michael Straczynski (Babylon 5) and can thus boast of its careful writing and production – having taken place a little around the world – as well as its host of dedicated international players.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by AlloCiné viewers and one of the 10 best science fiction series to watch on Netflix according to them, Sense8 is so beloved that its fans will mobilize en masse to save it after Netflix canceled it at the end of its season 2. Indeed, in response to criticism, notably due to the cliffhanger on which it ended, the platform will produce finally a final chapter of two and a half hours, broadcast in June 2018, which will thus conclude (perfectly?) one of its best series nominated three times at the GLAAD Media Awards as such – an award that it won in 2016 .
Add to that a sublime cinematography which was nominated for an Emmy (as was the music of its theme) and you are dealing with an ambitious, sensitive and visually sumptuous science fiction drama – one of the most expensive in history , a true ode to tolerance, to acceptance of oneself and others which speaks of transidentity, free sexual orientation and diversity. In short, art, in the proper form.
