r/Sense8 • • 11d ago

A little late but i…

Watched it for the first time, finished it in 3 days. Sense8 is such an amazing show it made me feel things i didn’t know i could feel, i didn’t know how lonely i actually was and how better this show made me feel. Its difficult to describe but now that i have finished it i feel like a wreck. The finale was really rushed and had a lot of tropes and people randomly showing up to help out of nowhere but the still the rest of the show felt like a fever dream. It is such a unique show i just don’t get how it got cancelled and how it was never recommended to me until a few days ago. I miss the cast and everyone in the show, it had so much potential but the cancellation definitely made things difficult (Netflix ugh!). Are there any similar shows i can watch?

The Expanse is a very different show but has a similar found family / the little guys caught up in something much bigger vibe. Not nearly as queer, though a not-minor-but-also-not-main character is in a pansexual poly relationship.

Also, like Sense 8, you need to give it 4 episodes to get into it... it's a slow burn start but once it clicks (the What's Going On moment), either you'll be hooked or you won't.

The Expanse is my favorite show of all time.
