A movie about people who can feel and visit each other doesn't have to be realistic, but it still requires an internal logic to make its impossible conceit work on its own terms.
Unfortunately the series reduce the sense8 concept to mostly two people sitting on a bench looking at a cityscape blabbering about stuff you don't care about. There's no real depth to the characters and story, it's 'deep' and 'philosophical' just on the surface. The dialogue sometimes is really bad, amplified by stereotypical characters and situations. There are some great performances though, some actors really max out what they've been given to work with.
2 points subtracted for the inclusion of hackers nonsense, disabling security remotely, "hacking into mail accounts" and such. Such lazy writing. Skyfall anyone?
Good points: visually beautiful. The DP sure did her/his work well.
