Sense8
new netflix original series, brought to you by J. Michael Straczynski, the genius behind Babylon 5, and the Wachowski's, best known for The Matrix.
(the following slightly edited from wiki) the story of eight strangers: Will , Riley , Capheus, Sun , Lito, Kala , Wolfgang and Nomi , each individual from a different culture and part of the world. While living their everyday lives they suddenly have a vision of the violent death of a woman called Angel and find themselves reborn as Sensates; otherwise normal human beings who are mentally and emotionally connected, being able to communicate, sense, use each others knowledge, language and skills. While trying to both live their lives and figure how and why this connection happened and what it means, a mysterious man named Jonas possessing the same ability tries to help the eight and protect them from another stranger called Whispers who is similarly empowered and is hunting them down to tap into their psychic link and capture them all.
it starts off slow, but the pay off is worth it, so stick with it.
envisioned as a 5 year series and completely planned out as such, so I expect the following seasons to only get better (if renewed), just as B5 did
tl dr
watch it.
