monologue narratives.

A couple days ago, I did something that I'm kind of proud on in my plain holiday. I binge watch Sense8 (a netflix original series) and it's just sooo goood that I'm dying to watch it over, plus I finished the whole season in two days. My remarks: it's so awesome. I'll tell you why.

First, the concept of the story is so cool. Like how eight stranger all around the world (Will in Chicago, Lito in Mexico, Nomi in San Francisco, Wolfgang in Berlin, Sun in Seoul, Capheus in Nairobi, Riley in London, and Kala in Mumbai) have a certain connection that allow them to visit each others and do other cool stuffs. Another thing is they literally shoot those scene in the respective places, it's very awesome.

And the development of the story is really good. Everyone have their own story arc and somehow they all connected, I don't find so much logical flaw in the series, mostly because it has been explained really well or I didn't notice stuffs because I was really crazy about the show and bingewatching it. I really want to watch it for the second time in fact.

The pace is really well, I read on the internet that they actually divided the show into 3 acts. For me it's two somehow, like the first one when they are reborned as sensate but haven't really communicate with each other. Just keep seeing each other, which must be confusing.  Episode six onwards is when they are really aware of their ability and start to communicate and help each other.

My favorite character is... Will Gorski and Sun Bak. I love how Will is really caring? It might sounds boring, but he's a good guy. And how he take big risks to save Riley even if that cost him too. Spoiler alert, but I just wish that Will still have some hopes in season 2. I also like the cast, Brian J. Smith, he kind of looks like Cory Monteith to me? But he got better jaw somehow. Too many people said they love Wolfgang but I think he's just typical badass guy who everyone adore but you will never wanted to be together. I know I'm very realist, and I'm sorry.

Meanwhile Sun is really a strong badass and loving person. She's willing to take fall for her family and her boxing skill is extraordinary. I always like seeing a strong independent woman, not a damsel in distress. Plus Sun's actress is amazing, Doona Bae, she's also playing in Cloud Atlas. I also like Riley for her music despite she's a little bit useless in the story, and I like her with Will but there's still some unfinished plot before she can move on with Will I think.

This show also promote a lot of diversity, like how everyone from different part of the world and different way to see the world. From Kala with her dancing bollywood scene on her wedding, Pride Parade, to some orange is the new black korean version, it's amusing. Feels like I'm watching everythiing at once. The most important issue is how they promote LGBTQ values, and on how everyone, no matter what is your background is just a human. Humanity value is really strong, and I love it.

Overall, this show is really good and I really love it and wish there will be a season two like right now. I recommend you to watch it no matter what preference of movie you like. Although this is a little bit sci-fi, drama, but there's also some fun part. So from me it's like 9.7 out of 10 <3
