Sense 8

The Sense8  is a drama series from Netflix. This is about eight different people from different cultures and countries whose souls are connected and at the same time. Also, they connected their five sense, so they can share what they see, hear, feel, taste, and smell. Even their languages are automatically translated for each other. They fight for a questionable organization that tried to kill them. The reason why I started to watching this tv series is because a famous Korean actress is one of the main characters. I did not really expect this but it is a really interesting story and subject matter. I think Sense 8 has more potential as a tv series than if it was made into a movie or book. 

The eight different people are connected to each other by their souls, so when one of the people has a struggle they can connect to a different person who can fight well. In the tv series, it shows many different cities, places and peoples such as  South Korea, India, Mexico, USA, England, Kenya, and Germany. I think this is one of the reasons why the Sense 8 has a strong effect as a tv series. It has to show each different country’s culture and environment because that is how they are different. Also, it shows how they are connected. However, if this tv series is a book, it will be a little difficult to use your own imagination for a person who has not visited one of the countries. I have never visited India, German, Mexico, and Kenya so it is really hard to use my imagination to picture that situation of a specific place and how they are different. 

A movie is usually 2 - 3 hours long, and it has to show the entire story and visually during the runtime. However, I think 2 -3 hours is not enough to show the whole story for this series, because, the important thing is different countries and cultures and how people can connect and understand each other. A movie can show a place in a very short time but I think the audience will very confused. This series is how each character solves the problem and how they progress, which is very important so I think it should be a season series. 

An Asian woman appearing in foreign tv series is very rare to me, so I am really glade to see her in a tv series and I am proud of her. Even before I started this tv series, because of her I am really satisfied.
