This is probably the reason why I still haven't felt motivated enough to check out Sense8.

[sabotabby]

I know what OP means, especially in YA lit, but Sense8 is...not this. It's not a perfect show but everyone has a personality and a reason for being in the story.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know anything about the show and didn't mean to imply I think it's bad. It's just, like the secret said, I almost never hear about the amazing plot or this cool character. Everything is about how progressive it is, which, weirdly, makes watching it sound like homework.

[sabotabby]

Fair. It is pretty weak on the plot, but the characterization and cinematography are really good.

Except Lito's storyline imo. And Sun and the guy in Africa, their crossovers were awesome. I would have watched Sun's storyline as a separate show.

I would have watched Sun's storyline as a separate show.

Thiiiiisss.

"The guy in Africa" is Capheus, and he's specifically from Kenya. He also has, like, a HUGE story arc in season 2, so it kinda chafes that you don't know his name/didn't bother to google it

Definitely give Sense8 a chance, it's really fun, beautiful, and with some incredible characters and performances.

[(Anonymous)]

My theory: people who only praise Sense8's progressive cast actually mean, "My favorite thing is the m/m, f/f, m/m/f, m/m/m/m/f/f/f/f, etc. sex scenes," but they don't want to say that.

[(Anonymous)]

That was my favorite thing. Second was the scenery, then the weirdness. But I couldn't bring myself to watch season two. The furor over is cancelation was disappointing. I wish we weren't so needlessly desperate in queer communities.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. All I hear is "it's so diverse" and "NO ONE IS STRAIGHT!!!" and there's a ton of sex or something.

[(Anonymous)]

I completely agree. Even more so when they try to add in fandom culture garbage, which every time tends to be so cringey...

[(Anonymous)]

Yeaaaah. Diverse books can still be crap. If you’re trying to sell me on a story and the only thing you can tell me is that it’s diverse and “woke”, that really doesn’t build my confidence that it’s going to be any good.

[(Anonymous)]

Same here. But Tumblr woke points always bang on about how diverse something is over storyline.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel this but with webcomics. So many authors describe their work by listing how many bajillion sexual/gender/ethnic minorities it features but when you actually read it it's just the blandest OC showcase shit where nothing happens.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, this happens so many times.

It kind of depends on the focus of the reviewer? Liz Bourke, Bogi Takacs, GLAAD, and The Unicorn Scale often do LGBTQ-focused reviews, but that's far from the only review out there.
