    Supelice Dreadfully Boring
    Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
    Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
    Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
    mfdoff Don't waste your time, the story telling is awful and sooo repetitive episode after episode of politically correct propaganda pumping enough to make even the most die-hard leftist sick. I mean REALLY after repeating the SAME sad stories for EVERY character and NO story progression but the SAME propaganda pumping every EPISODE!!!!!! Forget it, it's worse than watching MSNBC!
    kitellis-98121 This show is transcendent - and I've never used that word to describe ANYTHING before.Although not entirely flawless, it is the closest thing to perfection I've ever seen. The biggest flaw of this show is not the show itself but the audience, who didn't stick with it long enough to get hooked.The second biggest flaw is Netflix, who did a remarkably brave and visionary thing in commissioning this show, then behaved like corporate cowards and cancelled it while continuing to fund lesser but more "popular" shows.Sense8 is utterly unique, in every sense. There has never been a show like it, in terms of what it attempts to do or how it attempts to do it. And remarkably it succeeds in every goal (except to keep being made, sadly). People don't seem to understand what an extraordinary achievement it is.Setting aside the actual narrative content of the show - which is mind-blowing, but has been discussed elsewhere, this show also proves that it is NOT impossible to make movie-quality television, with a large regular cast, and shoot with ALL of them in 16 cities, 11 countries around the world - on a cheaper budget per episode than "Friends".Other shows more expensive than Sense8 are "ER" - which ran for 15 seasons, and Netflix's own "The Crown" which is marvellous, but not ground-breaking like Sense8.But apparently viewing figures are the be-all, end-all to Netflix. And that's a shame and a disgrace, because with Sense8 they could have been the network that changed the entire landscape of television production, and raised the intelligence and expectations of global audiences in the minds of TV executives, ushering in a new era of transcendent television production. Instead they just confirmed that it CAN be done, but it's not worth it 'cos audiences are too lazy and impatient to bother.My mind was blown by this show, and I never saw it coming. I wish more minds could be blown. The world needs it.
    jtkirk161 I am a straight white male and I just loved this show. Open your mind and enjoy the ride.
    stevenkeithjones Definitely one for the millennial. The story gets lost in the glitzy production.
