Sense8 2015

Didn't like it much. They keep you busy by focusing on the lives of the characters, and meanwhile the actually interesting bits on the story get stretched way too much. It is not exciting much, it is very predictable, and to me it feels like the producers do their best to embed their own belief systems onto the series, trying to make you see reality like they do. I really enjoyed Miguel Ángel Silvestre. He made his character Lito funny, and human. Actually the actors were all pretty good. The writing just really, really sucked, in my opinion. Or maybe I'm just getting too old for this shit. All the LBGT-stuff is really not for me, I just see them as actors, fucking. Makes me feel uncomfortable. On the other hand, I didn't know Jamie Clayton (Nomi) was actually what they call a "trans woman" in real life, but her performance was pretty good although the "help me, I'm a damsel in distress" angle was a bit too much for me.

Anyway. If you're going to watch this, don't get your hopes up about a quick revelation. None of the episodes is much different from episode 1, plot wise.
