Review :

The strength of Sense8: The characters! 8 main characters representing different realities, many of them LGBTQ+ realities. Whether it is about the realities of trans people, lesbian women, people of colour, gay men or others, each character are wonderful. They form a beautifully strong and solid team, their differences are valued and are essential to the success of the team. The show is full of action and violence, but the plot is interesting. Unfortunately, we are let down by the lack of funding. There were only two seasons that ended abruptly with a longer episode to replace the third season.
