Hearing Even More Voices?: Sense8

Do you ever hear voices in your head? If so, this Nexflix show is for you. Premiering tonight (June 5), Sense8 by the Wachowski Siblings (formerly Brothers) highlights eight people around the world sharing the same thoughts. You might be sharing my thoughts as well - Aren't these the same siblings that just crashed and burned with the awful film Jupiter Ascending? Yes, but maybe this will be different.  Besides, the siblings did create The Matrix at one time (eons ago).

Here is the set-up from Netflix:

One gunshot, one death, one moment out of time that irrevocably links eight minds in disparate parts of the world, putting them in each other's lives, each other's secrets, and in terrible danger. Ordinary people suddenly reborn as "Sensates."

The 12 episodes were filmed in 9 locations (Berlin, Chicago, London, Mexico City, Mumbai, Nairobi, Reykjavik,  San Francisco, and Seoul) over a 100 day period.  That is quite an achievement.  And the main characters are a butcher, a baker, and a candlestick maker.  Okay, that is not true.  Instead, they are a cop, a banker, and a safecracker, as well as others.  See, not much better.  

Now we just need to see what Neflix put together.  Is this good programming ascending?  We shall see. 

Update:  While I have only watched a few episodes of Sense8, the characters have been varied and interesting so far.  It seems others agree leading to the approval of a second season on Netflix.
