Sense8 Season 2: 12 Things To Expect

2. Will And Riley On The Run Together

These two members of the cluster have actually physically met! Chicago cop Will and Icelandic DJ Riley fell for each other over the course of season one, leading to a dramatic finale in which Will rescued Riley from the clutches of BPO. But then Will looked into Whispers' eyes...

Big mistake, as this has given Whispers a psychic hold on Will, putting the safety of the entire cluster at risk. Will has taken to heroin in order to keep Whispers out of his head, but this leaves Riley with the responsibility of caring for him, and the two have some seriously tough decisions ahead.

This will play out throughout season two, with Will and Whispers each trying to stay one step ahead of the other in a sort of psychic chess game. By the end of the Christmas special, Whispers had made his first move, in visiting Will's alcoholic father, who he's no doubt going to use to get at Will.

It's an excitingly high-concept storyline – how do you hunt someone down using the ability to get inside their eyes?
