Jun 9, 2015 | Full Review… Spencer Kornhaber The Atlantic Top Critic The problem is that Sense8 fails to buttress [its] insanity with anything remotely resembling coherence or, in fact, entertainment. Jun 5, 2015 | Full Review… Andy Greenwald Grantland Top Critic Spanning almost as many genres as it does time zones, Netflix's Sense8... is a fascinating, globe-trotting epic that still manages to feel very intimate. Jun 5, 2015 | Full Review… Vicki Hyman Newark Star-Ledger Top Critic These characters could not [be] further away from each other both physically and culturally, and the ways in which their wires cross make for some of the pilot's most compelling moments. Jun 5, 2015 | Full Review… Jason Reich Observer Top Critic I like these characters. I like Sense8. And I am 100 percent interested in seeing what happens next. Jun 5, 2015 | Rating: B | Full Review… Liz Shannon Miller indieWire Top Critic Packed with entertaining visuals, it's also rich in characterization, even featuring a few very funny storylines. Jun 4, 2015 | Full Review… Tirdad Derakhshani Philadelphia Inquirer Top Critic It's as charming as it is maddening, as packed with possibility as it is limited by its massive scope. Mar 11, 2020 | Full Review… Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind On pedigree alone, Sense8 is worth streaming for at least a couple of episodes to see if it catches your interest. Mar 11, 2020 | Full Review… Kathi Maio The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction The sweeping possibilities of the world open up-and deposit you in a welter of clichéd tropes Sep 18, 2019 | Full Review… Noah Berlatsky Splice Today The ultimate paradox of Sense8 is that it can give away so little about its ultimate destination in three hours of screen time, and still be seductive enough to make hour four an attractive proposition. May 21, 2019 | Full Review… Glenn Garvin Reason Online Not since "Lost" or the early seasons of "The Walking Dead" have I been this wrapped up in a group of characters' survival and well-being. May 21, 2019 | Full Review… Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald Sense8 may not be the show you want, but it is the show you need. The show everyone needs. Jan 9, 2019 | Full Review… Emily Asher-Perrin Tor.com View All Critic Reviews (64) Audience Reviews for Sense8: Season 1 6d ago Brilliant. Absorbing. Great storyline. Ahead of its time. One of the best netflix originals. winchester q May 14, 2020 Its a shame that this serie was underrated. the pilot episode is kinda slow but after that is amazing. Manuel R Apr 25, 2020 Heartwarming social messages and three dimensional protagonists. The characters draw the audience in so well that I almost forgot there's supposed to be a deeper plot to this series. Unfortunately the sci-fi aspect of the story lagged way too much and I found myself disappointed that its execution fell short. Nicole L Feb 18, 2020 Brilliant and complex. So many layers. Such a very clever script. Delicious actors. Love the international mix of locations, adding to the layering of the atmosphere. Completely binge worthy. Michelle T Jan 17, 2020 A surprisingly more interesting show than I thought it would be. Melanie K Jan 15, 2020 Mindbending. Like nothing you've ever seen before... Gary R Dec 30, 2019 This series is exceptional specially their cinematography Luisa C Dec 18, 2019 Started off great. Then it just felt like trying too hard to be politically correct. Anindya M Oct 27, 2019 Amazing, wonderfilled, best Sci-fi ever Chris F Oct 18, 2019 One of the best shows I have seen, ever! Season 1 was amazing. What makes it so good, is that the "mystery" is not kept hidden. We come to learn what is going on very quickly.The character developments, the on location shooting around the globe, the music, and the acting are all superb. Season 2 had a lot more chase and shooting scenes than I thought was necessary, but the characters continue to develop bonds that are just shy of magical. A MUST watch series, very under rated and was not advertised, what a shame, really, really well done.
