Sense8 (a play on the word sensate /ˈsɛnst/, meaning aware[5]) is an American science fiction drama web television series created, written and executive-produced[6] by Andy and Lana Wachowski and J. Michael Straczynski.[7] A first season consisting of 12 episodes has been produced and became available for streaming on Netflix on June 5, 2015.[8] The Wachowskis are responsible for the direction of the biggest part of the show,[9] with the rest of it being handled by a number of people they have collaborated with in the past, including Cloud Atlas co-director Tom Tykwer.[4] Meanwhile this is the first series produced under the banner of Straczynski's Studio JMS.[7] The plot revolves around eight strangers from different parts of the world who suddenly become mentally and emotionally linked and it is set to explore subjects that its writers felt science fiction shows tend to ignore[10] or skim through[8] such as politics, identity, sexuality, gender and religion.[8][11]

Premise

Sense8 tells the story of eight strangers (Smith, Middleton, Ameen, Bae, Silvestre, Desai, Riemelt, and Clayton)[12] from different cultures and parts of the world, who, in the aftermath of a tragic death in which they all experience through dreams or visions, suddenly find themselves mentally and emotionally connected – an evolutionary leap of technological origin. While trying to figure why this happened and what it means for the future of mankind, a mysterious and powerful man named Jonas tries to bring the eight together, while another stranger called Mr. Whispers and his organization attempts to hunt them down to capture or assassinate them. He uses the same power as the 8 to have full reach into someone's mind (thoughts/sight) after contact with their eyes. Each episode reflects the views of the different characters interacting with each other while delving deeper into the characters background and what sets them apart and brings them together with the others. [12][13][11]

Cast

Main

The majority of characters of the main cast are called "Sensates"[14] and for plot reasons they are exactly the same age, somewhere between mid- to late-20s.[15] Despite the actors having shot scenes together, their characters won't be physically meeting each other in the first season due to the showrunners' wish to explore each character's respective culture. Their presence in the same scene is attributed to their telepathic abilities.[15]

The Sensates

Other regulars

  • Freema Agyeman as Amanita, Nomi's girlfriend[14]
  • Alfonso Herrera as Hernando, the secret lover of Lito[14]
  • Anupam Kher as Manendra Rasal, Kala's father[19]
  • Terrence Mann as Mr. Whispers, a former Sensate turned against his own kind and leading a group of people who want to capture or kill Sensates[11]

Conception

"We started out at one point talking about how evolution involves creating ever greater circles of empathy: You belong to your family, then you belong to your tribe, then two tribes link up and now you have empathy for your people on this side of the river, and you’re against the people on the other side of the river... on and on through villages, cities, states and nations... So what if a more literal form of empathy could be triggered in eight individuals around the planet... who suddenly became mentally aware of each other, able to communicate as directly as if they were in the same room. How would they react? What would they do? ... What does it mean? And what would the world think about people with this ability? Would they embrace it, or hunt them down...? It would give us a perfect platform to do a show that was loaded with action, big ideas, some amazing stunts that no one’s done before, and play to a planetary audience."

J. Michael Straczynski, co-creator[5]

According to the Wachowskis the origins of Sense8 date back several years to "a late-night conversation about the ways technology simultaneously unites and divides us".[7] Straczynski recalls when the Wachowskis decided to create their own series they chose to invite him to San Francisco due to his experience working with the format, to brainstorm ideas.[5] Both the Wachowskis and Straczynski agreed if they were to do a TV series, they would have to attempt to do something that had never been done before[34] and change the "vocabulary for television production", the same way The Matrix became a major influence for action movies since its release.[35] After several days of discussion they decided on exploring the relationship between empathy and evolution in the human race.[5]

Development

The trio became so excited with the concept they came up with, they decided to develop it on their own instead of pitching it to someone else and on October 2, 2012, Variety reported the Wachowskis had written three hour-long spec scripts and were set to shop them around L.A. the coming week, with the help of Straczynski's Studio JMS and Georgeville Television.[36] If the series was picked up the siblings and Straczynski would share showrunner duties. Additionally the Wachowskis planned to direct a few episodes of the show if their schedule permitted it. According to Straczynski the first meeting with potential buyers was with Netflix and it went really well. By noon and before they had the chance to pitch it to other outlets, such as HBO,[35] Netflix called them to preemptively offer to buy and produce the first season.[5] Netflix announced that they had ordered a 10 episode first season for the series on March 27, 2013.[7]

Initial writing was split between the Wachowskis and Straczynski every few episodes. The Wachowskis wrote episodes one, two, three, seven and eight. Straczynski wrote episodes four, five, six, nine and ten. Then the Wachowskis rewrote Straczynski's episodes and vice versa. Straczynski said a good portion of the writing was just him and Lana.[37] Lana Wachowski, a trans woman, has written her first transgender character in her career in the series; Nomi Marks. For that she partly used her own experiences. "It has some very intense, autobiographical scenes, and that was very difficult and surreal." said Lana.[38]

During filming,[39] because of the density of the scripts and the extended length of the first cut of the first episode the showrunners and Netflix came to an agreement to extend the season to 12 episodes.[40]

Straczynski hopes that the series will consist of five seasons. Before filming began Straczynski and the Wachowskis mapped out five seasons worth of stories for the series.[40] Straczynski compiled a 30-page document detailing the key points of a hypothetical second season.[41] The actors cast were signed for five seasons. "We pitched it as a five-year story. We've mapped out five seasons of this thing, our actor deals are being made for five seasons, five or six depending on the breaks," said Straczynski.[15]

Comic book artist Steve Skroce who has been collaborating with the Wachowskis since The Matrix on both film and comic book mediums has created storyboards for the show.[42]

Filming

To properly tell the international aspects of the story, filming took place on location around the globe in nine cities located in eight different countries: Chicago, San Francisco, London, Berlin, Seoul, Reykjavík, Mexico City, Nairobi and Mumbai.[12][43] Production on the series began in June 2014 in San Francisco.[44] The filmmakers successfully negotiated with the organizers of the Clarion Alley Mural Project and select artists, to feature their artwork in the show.[45] Shooting in Chicago began on July 9, and wrapped up on August 8,[46] with filming taking place both on location and at the Cinespace Film Studios.[44] During location scouting the producers were suggested the City Methodist Church in Gary, Indiana, and changed one site's description in the scripts to a church accordingly.[47] They also shot some scenes in Chicago's Superdawg drive-through restaurant, while customers were being asked not to stare at the filming. Lana and Andy are frequent customers of the place.[48] Filming in Berlin was done partly in Babelsberg Studio.[49] A sequence in Nairobi required a crowd of 700 extras, 200 cars and a helicopter.[23] In Mumbai they shot a Bollywood dance number that included both English and Hindi lyrics and was choreographed by Slumdog Millionaire's Longinus Fernandes.[50] In Mexico City, in Arena Naucalpan, they filmed a lucha libre (Mexican professional wrestling) event with the actors wearing wrestling masks.[51]

In a few cases the production opted to shoot real life events and their audiences. In San Francisco these include the Pride[52] with its Dykes on Bikes on the Dyke March[53][54] and the Fresh Meat Festival of transgender and queer performance[55][56] and in London a club scene taking place at the KOKO.[57][58][59]

The show's directors were attached to locations instead of episodes and with all eight countries featured in every one of them, each episode ended up having multiple directors.[33] The Wachowskis were responsible for directorial duties in scenes shot in Chicago[44] and San Francisco[60] along with London and Iceland, two places which were initially announced to be helmed by Straczynski.[34] Straczynski eventually opted to offer them to the siblings due to the extensive stunt work required[61] and instead focused his energy on post-production.[40] James McTeigue (V for Vendetta, Ninja Assassin) worked on the Mexico City, Mumbai and Reykjavík parts[33] and German director Tom Tykwer (Cloud Atlas), whose Nairobi Half Life production impressed the Wachowskis, helmed Berlin[62] and Nairobi.[23] Dan Glass, who has been the visual effects supervisor for every Wachowski film since The Matrix Reloaded, reprised his role in Sense8 while also making his directorial debut in scenes shot in Seoul.[63][64] Executive producer Grant Hill estimates that in total the Wachowskis directed seven episodes, McTeigue and Tykwer two each and Glass one.[4] The director of photography that worked with the Wachowskis is John Toll, who previously shot Cloud Atlas and Jupiter Ascending for them.[63][65] McTeigue's cinematographer of choice is Danny Ruhlmann, who previously shot The Raven and Survivor for him.[66][67] Tykwer worked with Frank Griebe[68] and Christian Almesberger[69] for the Berlin and Nairobi scenes respectively. Griebe had previously shot seven feature films of Tykwer's including Cloud Atlas and Almesberger was the cinematographer of two past films Tykwer produced in Nairobi; Soul Boy and Nairobi Half Life.

On November 17, 2014 Straczynski wrote that the main unit shooting had wrapped, with only a few winter shots in Iceland remaining to be captured the next month.[70] These scenes were further delayed to mid-January 2015, until Iceland had the necessary amount of snow,[71][72] with the wrap party taking place in Reykjavík's Harpa Music and Concert hall on January 21, 2015.[73] By the end of the shooting the filmmakers had completed 100,000 miles of flight time, or four times around the globe.[43]

Music

Tom Tykwer and Johnny Klimek, who co-composed Cloud Atlas' score and had a minor contribution in the soundtrack of The Matrix Revolutions as part of Pale 3, composed the series' music which was orchestrated by fellow Cloud Atlas collaborator Gene Pritsker.[1][74] The music was recorded by the MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra.[49]

Reception

Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator website, reported a 68% approval rating with an average rating of 6.1/10 based on 22 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "Some of the scenarios border on illogical, but the diverse characters and the creative intersections between their stories keep the Wachowskis' Sense8 compelling."[75] On Metacritic the show is assigned a score of 63 out of 100, based on 22 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[76]

Notes
  1. ^ While the production credited only one director per episode (or a pair in the case of the Wachowskis), due to the way the show was shot with directors attached to locations rather than episodes, in truth each episode had multiple directors.[33] For a break down of which location each director was attached to, see #Filming.
