Sense8
I couldn't find a thread on this beyond the one about general Netflix shows. Anyone watch this? It started kind of slow, but the storytelling for each of the characters is pretty good. The Wachowskis are definitely pushing the envelope as far as their efforts to be inclusive of all sexualities and cultures, but that also makes it interesting. I can definitely see a lot of people being turned off, though, by the clear attempts to be inclusive.

On my list, but haven't gotten to it yet. Starting to find I have less patience for slow starts, and I just don't have a lot of time anymore.

I got through the pilot, but I haven't been able to get myself to watch beyond that yet. It was very, very slow.

It gets pretty good, but it's really more about the characters than anything for about the first half of the season. I really like the characters, though, and find their stories interesting. I mean, the scifi element is cool, and they could definitely build a lot more of it into the show... but it's kind of secondary.

I hope it gets picked up for a second season, but it hasn't been renewed yet.

I'm fine with character driven over plot or action driven (generally prefer it in fact) but the pilot felt ten or fifteen minutes too long. I'll get to the second episode eventually. I will say that none of the social commentary or focus on non-traditional lifestyles really bothered me at all - I'm supportive of alternative lifestyles even if I don't live them myself.

You can cut off 2 minutes by fast forwarding through the intro. I swear I've never seen such a long intro/credits sequence. It's literally two minutes long which is crazy.

I thought you must not have seen Game of Thrones, but I looked it up and the GoT intro is only 1:40.

I liked this show a lot at first. Then there was just way too much gay sex in it to keep me watching.

And this intro is ridiculous because it's just random crowd and street scenes for the most part from all over the globe.

I do like that they reliably make it the first part of the show. House of Cards varies it where sometimes they start with a scene then do the credits and other times they start with just the credits. That makes me nuts.

Yeah. There's a lot, and it's pretty explicit. They also seem to like showing Wolfgang's flaccid penis.

I actually fast forward through that one virtually every time I watch.

It is ok, starts off really slow, has some really gay scenes. But it gets better near the end. Season 2 should start off with a bang now that all the stories are laid out.
