5. The Action

If you've seen the Matrix or V for Vendetta, then you know that it goes without saying that the Wachowskis can do action sequences. The show being on Netflix also means they don't have to pull too many punches when it comes to the level of violence.

Telling stories all over the world lets them build exciting set pieces in many different forms: Will is chasing criminals, Capheus is being chased by gangs, Wolfgang has shootouts with German mafia, and everyone is on the lookout for the conspirators hunting them for their abilities.

Kala, the most pacifist character, comes in with her chemistry know-how to explosive results when someone is under fire. The most fun to watch is when Sun Bak steps in to share her martial art skills and trade blows with the various threats to the other Sense8's. Having this repository of skills and talents to pull from makes each of them able to act like a team unto themselves.

At times, it is like watching an Ocean's Eleven type heist being pulled off on the fly all by one person.
