During writing, it went a decade after Lily and Lana Vachovski's "Sense8" and Lana Vachovski premiered - a decade during which the entire TV industry was dramatically transformed. The high concept of Sci-Fi, which follows eight members of the evolved human subspecies that can share thoughts and awareness of huge distances, was one of Netflix's first originals. Despite the critical success of the predecessors as "Card House", streaming still saw him as a place to watch older films and TV shows, not an appropriate replacement for mainstream television.

Now, of course, it is clear that Netflix's plan to turn into streaming into an exclusive media platform was a loud success, for both better and worse. However, in those wounds, disapproved days, the company poured money into its original streaming library, trying to build a catalog attractive enough to turn heads. That meant employment The creators of the "matrix" And to give them what it was, at that time, a huge amount of money to get a show. Sens8 reportedly cost $ 9 million per episode to make it; It is not an absurd amount of standards when you look at shows such as "Andor" or "Dragon House", but it was a significantly riskier amount to spend on an original project for another new streaming platform.

That price, after all, led to "Sense8" gave up after two seasons. Despite the strong views and dedicated admirers, the Sens8 has not collected enough permanent viewership to guarantee the high price. And maybe the story and structure of the show could not be far from typical television at the time. Of course, it's also what made the series so great.

If you haven't seen Sense8, the premise is pretty complicated. In the world of the show, there are parallel human subspecies called homo sensors, hidden from the knowledge of most ordinary people. These people experience a "second birth" of various, after which the point they become related to others in groups of eight. This is happening at the beginning of the show with a group of characters spreading around the world - a police officer in Chicago, a chemist in Mumbai, a Nairobi bus driver, the transgender hacker in San Francisco and so on. These eight characters have been thrown into a world that they have never known before, as long as they learn to believe each other and run from a shaded global organization, bent at rooting their species.

It is in itself a pretty huge concept to wrap your head around, and the show becomes even more complicated because each of the eight main characters has its own isolated stories and accompanying castes besides a larger scientific plot. "Sense8" was so expensive in a large part because it was filmed on the site around the world - an approach that gives the show some beautiful pictures and a real sense of global.

"Sense8" has a fantastic handling of actresses really interesting material, and also wears The usual tags of Vachovski's story: Meditations on unusuality, transmission, transhumanism, sex, emotional expression and fear of the other. While things are mixed in Season 2, it's a show, unlike anyone else, and the first season is one of the right masterpieces of Lily and Lana Vachovski.

The niche appeal, expensive production requirements and the growing pain of the young Netflix programming strategy have contributed to the cancellation of Sense8. Fortunately, the fierce passion of her fanbase has led to a brief return to complete the loose ends. Online Dispute and a major petition and writing campaign have persuaded Netflix to give Sisters Vachovski a chance to finish their story with an extended final film, which will also appear on the platform. Despite some hesitation at the beginning, because of how such an end should be hasty, the creators have agreed to return and give their series to attract proper sending.

The prolonged final film premiered on June 8, 2018, just over a year after the end of the 2nd "Sens8" season. And while moving through things quite quickly in an attempt to close all different stories, it is still a powerful, resonant sheath that puts it in the spotlight on the basic themes of the show of unity, the diversity and power of human loveubeub and joy.
