Sense8 (2015-2017) āToday, I march to remember that Iām not just a meā¦but I am also a we.ā
Sense8 Cast Appreciation:Ā Hugging Each Other
I want to tell a quick story about how important representation in television is, and how Sense8 is really making a tangible difference. You can repost if you like, I thought your followers might enjoy it.
My dad is a wealthy, white, conservative male who voted for Trump. Heās not a hateful personā¦in fact heās one of the kindest people youāll meet and he can talk to a random stranger for hours. But heās extremely fiscally conservative and tends to have a narrow world view.Ā
He and I argue a lot. He calls me a naive liberal who has no idea how the real world works. I call him a decrepit old man who wouldnāt know innovation if it kicked him in the teeth. Itās our way of keeping each other on our toes.Ā
But we love to watch TV together. Game of Thrones, House of Cards, and Vikings are a few of our favorites. I always held off on showing him Sense8ā¦I honestly didnāt think heād like it. But one day he asked me āWhat should we watch next?ā and I thoughā¦why not?
He absolutely loved it. Yeah he thought the sex scenes were a little gratuitous, but he couldnāt stop watching. He even started talking about it to all his brothers and friends during our BBQ. I was so pumped he enjoyed it.Ā
But it was one scene in particular that really changed things for him: Nomiās speech during her sisterās rehearsal dinner in episode 2x8.Ā
You see, my dad thought Nomiās relationship with her Mom was unrealistic. He said āParents love their kids unconditionally. No real mother would ever say those types of things. I meanā¦sheās not abusive. Sheās not a drug addict or an alcoholic. And clearly no money problems at home. A real mom wouldnāt hate their kids just because.ā
I was floored and didnāt know what to say at first. He had called me sheltered and naive so many timesā¦and then he says something like that. I realize that itās because he loves me so much (and would still love me so much even if I were trans) that he found a character like Nomiās mom not just unrelatable, but completely unrealistic.Ā
But eventually I say this.Ā
āDadā¦about half of homeless youth are LGBT. Believe it or not, this is one of the most realistic parts of the show.ā
To which he replies: āOh. Really? Iā¦didnāt know that.ā
And then a few minutes later Nomiās says her speech and I look over and my dad is tearing up, just a little.Ā
āYou doing alright over there?ā
āYeahā¦yeah I justā¦.Iām fine. But I think I get it a little more now.ā
So thatās my story. Even old white guy who voted for Trump is heartbroken about Sense8ās cancellation. That says a lot about how big a mistake Netflix is making.Ā

Netflix: We will cancel Sense8
Us:Ā
Hereās what weāve done so far..
Since the cancellation news came out on Thursday weāve been doing so much to #BringBackSense8.Ā
This is what the fandom has done so far:
(There are links to everything. Check them out)
Started a petition to Netflix to renew Sense8. We currently have 397,566 supporters. This is impressive, but I believe we can do better than that, so keep spreading the word.
Created a brilliantĀ website to Renew Sense8 with many useful links and info on how to support Sense8.
Contacted Netflix via phone and chat.
Requested Sense8 Season 3 through Netflixā Title Request page.
Sent e-mails to Netflix decision makers demanding a renewal (You can find samples for inspiration hereĀ here here here and here)
Started #OperationFlipFlopĀ where fans will send a flip-flop to Netflixā HQ, and itās picking up some serious momentum, so take part if you can.
Weāve tried to give Sense8 more views so the decision makers canāt use the low number of views as an excuse anymore.
Started Twitter campaigns to get #BringBackSense8 trending. Keep tweeting, tag Netflix, but keep in mind to use ONE hashtag only, otherwise your tweet wonāt count. It will be considered as spam by Twitter.Ā
And today weāre doing THIS!!!
(If I forgot anything, please send me the related link to add it)
As you can see, Weāre united and fighting hard on all fronts. If you havenāt joined us yet, please do now.Ā Weāre on a difficult mission. We need to stay strong and inspired and inspire those around us.Ā
STAYING UPDATED IS KEY!Ā
Keep checking Tumblr and Twitter for new information. There are so many brilliant people in this fandom who keep coming up with new ways for us to fight. Letās not let them and ourselves down.
Please, signal boost by reblogging. Thank you!
Go, Global Cluster!

Someone: *bumps into me*
Oh I'm sorry!
Me: No, it's okay. I've been hurt before. On June 1st 2017, the first day of pride month, Netflix cancelled Sense8 after its 2nd season. They never gave it a proper ending, instead leaving it on a cliffhanger. The show deserves so much more. You bumping into me is insignificant compared to the pain I feel every day knowing I'll never know how this story ends
Sorry for the spam yesterday. Taking in the news yesterday was hard, especially when it hasnāt even been a month since season 2 was released. My feelings about the cancellation have been changing back and forth between devastation and complete fury. Now that Iāve slept on it, itās mostly just fury. Iāve just seen what the official reason was for the cancellation; the show was too expensive too produce and there were just not enough viewers of the show to justify it.Ā
That is an utter bullshit excuse if you ask me.Ā
First of all, ask yourself why the show had too few viewers. Did Netflix even try to properly promote the new season? The trailer for the Christmas special was released a week before the episode actually aired, and nothing else. Keeping in mind that it had been a year and a half since season 1 was released, most people had probably forgotten most of the show or lost interest. The season 2 trailer was released April 10th, so about a month before the season 2 premiere. A decent enough trailer, but if you werenāt a religious follower of the show it probably didnāt sell it for you. The trailer that actually could have drawn more people in was released a day before May 5th.Ā
If you canāt promote the show properly donāt blame the cancellation on too few viewers. Itās not like you gave it any time at all. Not all of us are able to watch it the minute it comes out for various reasons, but judging the amount of viewers based on how many watched it within less than a month is so, so wrong in my opinion. Itās almost like they had already decided even before season 2 aired that this show would not continue. As for the expense of the show, Iām pretty sure it wouldnāt be too big of a dent in your $6 billion budget just for this year alone.
At this point, I would happy with just one small 2 hour movie to wrap up the story. Give the characters, the story and the team behind this amazing show the justice it deserves. Itās the least one could do. Realistically, itās never going to happen, and Iām trying to come to terms with the fact that we just have to accept it. Still, thereās a really annoying, stubborn part of me that just canāt seem to let this go and is still clinging onto the hope that maybe, just maybe, all these petitions and complaints to Netflix is going to change the decision.Ā
I am not going to stand for this shit excuse of a cancellation. I know itās most probably in vain, but like others have said, Iām not going down without a fight. Iām going to continue posting anything that has to do with supporting the show and a possible (albeit very unlikely) renewal, but I donāt think Iāll do much of anything else on this blog. I still need some time to process this, because if Iām being honest Iām still in denial. If by some fucking miracle sense8 gets renewed or gets a movie, Iāll be back no doubt.Ā
In a better world, Sense8 would get the viewership numbers, promotion, and recognition it deserves.
In a better world, Sense8 would be up on stages for acting ensemble/cinematography/editing awards.
In a better world, Sense8 would have gotten the 5 seasons it needed to fully tell its story.
But sadly, thatās not the world we live in.
I just want to take a moment to Recognise the beauty and Relevance of sense8 - An Open Letter to you, Netflix
I have been with this show since the beginning.
I was home alone one night, and saw it pop up on the top of my Netflix screen. I googled it first, and read that the general consensus was that the show was a bit odd and not particularly good. I flicked past it on Netflix, couldnāt find anything else to watch, had dinner, and decided to sit down and try the first episode.
I watched the first season within three days.
Sense8 is perhaps the most beautiful show I have ever watched, alongside shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Six Feet Under.
In the current climate of popular television, popular shows are usually one of two things (or a combination of both): they are extremely negative and cynical, and they are more about shock or twist than substance. Think about it: shows like Game of Thrones, as an example, are almost entirely about the dark side of humanity, psychopaths, manipulators, violence, sexual violence, death, destruction. The television landscape is often bleak, emotionally cheap, lacking in artfulness.
Sense8 is the antithesis of that. Sense8 is a television show that is explicitly and unapologetically about how diversity is our strength, love and compassion are our superpowers, and fear is our enemy. It is not a show that wants to suggest to us that we, as human beings, are inherently evil. It is not a show that wants to reel you in through shallow twists or gore or suicidal ideation. It is a show that says to each viewer: āCan you feel your own humanity? Itās right there, come with us into this story, and feel your humanity againā.
It is a show about Kala, an Indian woman who is equally dedicated to science and religion. It is a show about Nomi, a trans woman who is capable, happy, dedicated, loyal, clever. It is a show about Capheus, a man from Nairobi who is endlessly positive in the face of adversity. It is a show about Lito, a Mexican man who wants to entertain you, who is brave, gay, and dramatic. It is a show about Sun, a Korean woman who will sacrifice even for those who donāt deserve it. It is a show about Wolfgang, a German man who is living with trauma and trying to find himself underneath it. It is a show about Will, a cop from Chicago who will protect us at all costs. It is a show about Riley, a woman with endless empathy and strength, who can lose a husband and child and still have a heart full of love.
It is a show about us. The best of us, us being individuals and humankind. It is a show that, I think more so than any other show that is currently on television or has been on television perhaps in my lifetime and maybe yours, that demonstrates the true power of art. Art can heal us, art can move us, art can tell us stories and educate us about people and experiences we donāt personally know or understand, art can bridge gaps, art can challenge preconceptions, art can make us brave, art can challenge fear, art can repair.
Sense8, for me, has been an important show, and a very necessary show. In a time when the political conversation across the world seems to turn on whether or not we should start separating from each other, whether or not we should fear each other, Sense8 has been there to show us why fear and separation are antithetical to love and joy.
Sense8 is also a show that has the most wholehearted and kind and careful representation of queer people and queer culture that I have seen on television. The show contains four openly queer characters, all of whom are happy, successful, fulfilled and loved. It is a show that has had no interest in playing into the stereotype, as is often found in television and film, that queer people are inherently unhappy.
I had never had any particularly strong feelings about Netflix before I watched the first season of Sense8. But Sense8 to me, was the embodiment of what I, at least thought, Netflix was about. Bringing programs to an audience, programs that were fearless and new and boundary pushing and actually interested in artistic integrity over profit or perceived return; that was what Netflix was to me.
I feel that in cancelling Sense8, Netflix has betrayed itās own philosophical vision and what I think is itās artistic integrity, and responsibility.
But mostly I feel that today, an opportunity and a light has left the world. Art, in our darkest times, is often one of our strongest allies, one of our strongest antidotes. Sense8 was not only a television show that people loved to watch, it was a television show that people needed to watch. It radiated joy, friendship, respect, global community, hope, empathy and decency. It was a television show that did not simply encourage our base, unrefined, animalistic tendencies towards competition and violence, but one that tried to remind us of the conscious choice we can make to be kind.
Sense8 wanted you to feel that the world, every individual within the world, was a part of your cluster; if only you could broaden your mind ever so slightly to the idea. Sense8 wanted you to know you were not alone in feeling hunted, in feeling tired, in feeling overwhelmed. Sense8 wanted you to know that together, if we try, and we use each otherās knowledge and skill and perspectives, we can be better.
I want to thank the entire cast, crew, and creatives of Sense8 for trying to give us that light. I want to say I am disappointed in Netflix for not realising itās potential as not simply a company, but as a patron and distributor of 21st century art. I would also like to note that as a queer person, I no longer consider Netflix a 'networkā that actually values the stories of people like myself - especially since there seems to be no indication of finishing this show with the respect the audience deserves.
I hope we can all remember what this show gave us. Be critical and clever like Nomi, strong but forgiving like Sun, positive and courageous like Capheus, protective and loyal like Will, open and joyful like Lito, dedicated to your mind and your heart like Kala, strong in yourself and unapologetic like Wolfgang, kind, empathetic and resilient like Riley.
Remember, that you can be a sensate, if you just try.
