Sense8: A Christmas Special (TV)

"The plotting is perhaps a little lighter than you might expect (...) Then again, 'Sense8' hasn’t fascinated us for so long because of the plotting. Instead, it’s the core group of characters and their delicate bonds, which capture our imagination." 

"For all the flaws in its construction, 'Sense8's Christmas special distills the series’ courageous gambit into a handful of sublime sequences, three or four of which (...) left me grinning from ear to ear." 

"It's nice to see that 'Sense8' hasn't lost its touch. It's still as admirably heartfelt as ever and its ambitions are equally impressive, but its bad habits are also still front-and-center" 

"I’m glad to see 'Sense8' is back, and even more delighted to see how uncompromisingly it’s leaned what made its first season so special" 

"The one-off installment is a weak attempt to tie up loose ends from season one’s explosive finale"
