Hi Friends!

This week we were joined by our amazing friend Lyra for a discussion about the first season of Sense8! We had an awesome conversation about the concept of psychic connections and share abilities in different media over the years. We talked about the various relationships among the sensates in the show and the way they share things both mentally and physically. We dug into some of the different challenges they face and the way they're able to work together to overcome problems. Most importantly, we screamed A LOT about how much we love various characters and their partners in the show.

This show has a variety of dark themes that it deals with, some of which we discussed in more depth than others. While we didn't go into detail about ALL of these topics, please be warned that we do get into discussion about the following:

• suicide
• murder
• domestic violence
• child abuse
• general violence
• homophobia
• transphobia, including deadnaming
• blackmail
• kidnapping
• medical malpractice and lobotomies

If you have any thoughts about this show you'd like to share, we want to hear them! You can reach out to us on Bluesky at @TotallyNormalAT or email us at [email protected]
