20 Best Netflix Original Shows
10. Sense8
Sense8 is Netflix's most challenging and daring series. A complex yarn featuring a wide array of compelling characters and a twisted plot, the series has no set genre and seems to love every second of it. Sci-fi, comedy, romantic drama - it's all of these things and more, and what a spectacle it is.
The show tells the story of a group of people around the world who are inexplicably linked by a rare power and thrust into a world none of them knew existed. From there, it becomes an erotic thriller, an indecipherable mystery and a unique experience characterised by its deep complexities and beautiful emotional centre.
Just as memorable as the plot and its myriad of themes, though, has to be the production. Filmed all over the world to accommodate the show's large international cast, Sense8's visual appeal speaks for itself and has been lauded for its representation of the LGBTQ community and the varying cultures that populate the planet.
Sure, it can be hard to follow in parts, but for those willing to take the journey Sense8 has to be one of the most rewarding and exciting TV shows on offer.
