Purgatory

From the creative minds of Lilly Wachowski, J. Michael Straczynski, and Lana Wachowski comes Sense8 - a dazzling TV series that transcends geographical boundaries and dives into the depths of human connection. This American science-fiction drama first introduced us to its multinational ensemble cast in 2015. Since then, it has captivated audiences with its compelling narrative, complex characters, and profound exploration of themes related to identity, sexuality, gender, and politics.

The show’s premise revolves around eight strangers hailing from different parts of the world who discover themselves to be ‘sensates’ – individuals mentally and emotionally linked. The 'sensates' are played by an impressive lineup including Miguel Ángel Silvestre (Lito Rodriguez), Max Riemelt (Wolfgang Bogdanow), Jamie Clayton (Nomi Marks), Bae Doona (Bak sun), Brian J. Smith (Will Gorski), Tuppence Middleton (Riley Blue), Tina Desai (Kala Dandekar), Freema Agyeman (Amanita Caplan). Each actor brings a unique flavor to their character but is united by their shared experiences as sensates.

The story follows these 'sensates' as they navigate their everyday lives while simultaneously uncovering the reasons behind their unique connection. As they grow stronger in their bond and abilities, they find themselves hunted by those who perceive them as threats to the world order. The Biologic Preservation Organization (BPO) spearheads this hunt, with a high-ranking sensate known as Whispers leading the charge. This thrilling narrative keeps viewers on their toes from start to finish.
