Everything on Netflix is why it's worth subscribing to Netflix.

Well, there is always bit torrent. I believe that Netflix offers the first month free. You don't need that much. Most people finish it in a day or two. Be sure you have the free time. Then you can watch "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt". Troll the respawn, Jeremy!

Sense8 is, well odd. It is intended to be binge watched. You as the viewer have no special knowledge. So you learn along with the characters. The first two episodes come off as a confusing mess because of it. All the characters know is that they are having visions or hallucinations. By the end of the third one, things start to fall into place and make sense. I think it is potentially a game changer for video. Good or bad, it will be what is talked about a decade from now as what changed the direction of video away from a broadcast model. Netflix's tendency to do a season dump is only one step, everybody does their series like it comes on once a week at a fixed time. Not Sense8. The episodes are even of different lengths. It is beautifully shot, the acting is solid and the scripts are decently written. Now it is far from flawless. They need to show people how injections are done. You don't just drive them into the bone. It hurts to watch. Plus they don't make sure there aren't any air bubbles in the syringe.

It is clearly influence by Theodore Sturgeon's "More Than Human" novel.
