I'm re-watching this after hardcore binging THE OA. and I've gotta say OA was really inspired by some shots from this - even the Prarie actress reminds me the actress who plays Nomi.

Anyone watching both and seeing the same thing I am or is it just "woah these shows are metaphysical and strange and your dumb brain wants to make a connection no matter how tenuous"?

I had forgotten just how long the first episode of SENSE8 is and how strange it can seem to a newcomer. we are thrown in the mix of all these stories, so many locations, so many characters, and asked to hang on while they eventually come together, slowly, across the globe. Like the first episode of Heroes, in a lot of ways. Scenes that stick out : the chicken landing on Sun's desk, everyone hears Will's siren as he rescues the kid, going so far as to have Wolfgang think the cops are coming to catch him mid-safecrack.

A second watch is necessary, esp if you weren't really listening on a good sound system the first time. You will catch little audio cues that you didn't before, that help flesh out scenes that might have been confusing that last time thru.
