Fandom Squee Day 10: Sense8

Welcome to Day 10 of Fandom Squee! Sorry it's a bit late — it's been a crazy day. But here we are and up now is:

SENSE8


This is another show I haven't actually watched, but I know a lot of people who are crazy in love with it I also know there are orgies, and I do hope to watch it someday. So for those of you who love it, tell us why. Are you excited for a second season?

Have some gifs for inspiration:

Ohhhh, I do love this show! Yep, very excited for Season Two, which I guess is now due out in March or so?

It's got so much of what I love in a show- suspense and some darkness, but also some lighter touches and humor. It's got twisty, turny back story and a mystery to unravel. And each character is struggling with something that's deeply difficult, something that challenges them to be their better/stronger self whether they feel able to or not.

I like some of the backstories better than others, but even the ones I'm not as invested in are entirely watchable.

It's colorful and fast-paced, but not *too* fast paced. It's set all over the world, another thing I love in a show and haven't really seen to this extent since LOST.

And yep, it's pretty sexy - but not in the boring, 10pm-Tuesday-Network-TV-show kind of way.

I knew I was hooked when I had to watch some of the epis 20 minutes at a time, 'cause I was too worried for the characters to sit and watch it through, lol.

So, a rather glowing recommendation, I see! :D

Oh, yes - I'm all in on that show. Not to say it's perfect; sometimes I felt like they could have taken a little less time to relate parts of the story. But it's a pretty captivating show, I'd say!

I'll put it on the list for when the kids are out of school. I tend to watch shows in the morning while I'm making lunches and my 16-year-old lives to scold me for watching inappropriate things. Hah.
