In keeping with most of the Wachowski's post-Matrix output, there are some very good ideas in Sense8. The premise, which sees eight strangers from around the world becoming mentally and emotionally linked, is interesting, and the series deserves credit for creating a sci-fi show that effectively portrays LGBT characters and themes.

Where it falls down, though, is in the execution of its storytelling, as things often become a bit of an incoherent mess. Still, it was ready-made for easy bingeing, and the Christmas special has kept people interested. Perhaps Season 2 can figure out the issues, and the show can live up to its potential.
