Pure brilliance!

Episode "Demons" was the best one in my opinion for so many reasons. First of all, this is where most of characters start bounding with each other and the plot really started to make sense.

But most importantly, here the Wachowskis shoot the most intimate, beautiful, raw, bold and eye-pleasuring sex scene on TV. You just need to watch it. It is perfection how almost every character experiences each others arousal and how they "participate" in this pleasure.

I think the cast and crew need a huge applause because they just filmed something that TV has never shown before. Because honestly, most sex scenes in other shows were either too vulgar or too dishonest about the feelings of partners. But not Sense8. This was masterful

Amazing (and bizarre) sex scene!

Warning: Spoilers
One of the better episodes. There's a lot more that actually happens than in the previous one, including a breathtaking action scene with Riley and Will. It's so well executed so that Will feels Riley's suffocation as the plastic bag is put over her head. What's not clear is exactly how he is able to break free as her when in her situation that was clearly impossible. It seems like sometimes the Wachowskis try to bend the logic to suit the scenario, in a way that doesn't make much sense. Still, it was an incredible scene to watch.

Equally amazing was the sex scene. While it borders on the pornographic, it's slickly executed and has something for everyone. It reminded me of the fivesome in Hannibal but where that one was creepy this one shows characters around the world experiencing each other's pleasure. Think about that, a globe- spanning sex scene.

Even Lito's storyline becomes more interesting this time, although her shared moments with Lito were a missed opportunity. I can't imagine how funny it would be if Lito had actually exposed his privates at Sun's interviewer's request, then re-emerged in his own place.

A recurring issue with Sense8 is that whenever in one episode one character's story flourishes, another character's story is going through a drag. This time it's Capheus. When he's not sharing his body with another sensate, his story is exposed as the dull thing it is.

Overall better than the pretty bad previous episode, but it's still taking way too long for the sensates' connections to develop...

Sense8 storyline is building up and I'm here for it. Looking forward to seeing how will the storyline turn out.
