10 Most Ludicrous Moments From Sense8
2. The Whole Conceit
You have to wonder how Sense8 got made in the first place. The Wachowskis aren't that much of a hot property thanks to...everything they've done since the first Matrix. There's no real stars attached. And the premise is so complex and crazy that it's difficult to boil down to that fabled elevator pitch: people around the world share minds, kind of, it's weird.
Even when the first season reaches its end, barely any questions about the Sensates have been answered. And not in a wooo hold on until next season! way. No, it's more like they didn't bother explaining anything properly. Like, how does the sharing senses thing even work? They can possess each other's bodies, that for sure.
But also, without even thinking, they experience each other's tastes or feelings, or randomly appear in the same room together? It's difficult to explain. It's also absolutely bananas as a premise to a sci-fi thriller, because it doesn't really have much that naturally leads to fighting, explosions and the like.Throw in the hippie drug DMT as a stimulant of the powers, and it's properly silly.
