Sense8: so much joy
Sep. 2nd, 2020 10:04 pmAs I've mentioned before in this space, I've been doing a Sense8 rewatch with
the_shoshanna.
Today we watched the first half of the two-hour special that went in between season 1 and season 2, "Happy F*cking New Year". Which included the birthday dance party sequence.
And it occurred to me: I don't think that any other show I've seen has ever achieved such incredible sustained periods of transcendent joy. Like, going on for minutes and minutes, and bringing happy tears to my eyes and giving me ALL THE FEELS.
(I think this show also had the most complicated filming situation of any show ever. Filming not episode-by-episode but continent-by-continent, flying the entire cast from city to city to film the ends of sentences that they'd started months ago in different time zones. I am in awe.)
