I tried watching Sense 8. Made it as far as the one chick doing the other with a strap on. I couldnā€™t get past that gratuitous display and so I stopped there. Iā€™ve heard itā€™s a good show but to me thatā€™s just tawdry for the sake of being tawdry.

I know what you mean, I think that scene was down to the Wachowskis (producers)
I have seen more graphic scenes in other shows and as there were not many (compared to other shows) I could get passed them.
The story is good and the way the show hops around the world kept me watching.
I donā€™t want to spoil it for those who have not seen it but I found myself laughing and sometimes I must admit, a tear in my eye.
If you can give it another go but just skip that scene.

Oh I thought this might be a Goosebumps-esque kids show. But your review and a quick spoiler-free Google seem to suggest otherwise. Plus I love Winona Ryder. :heart_eyes:

Itā€™s been a year since I watched it, but I donā€™t recall it being more tawdry than any Hollywood sex scene or show with major and varied sexual themes like Game of Thrones or True Blood. This show is very sexually charged, and a lot of it is non-traditional (or with seriously blurred lines). That should be put out as a huge disclaimer for anyone who is squeamish about sex scenes, especially if gay sex is extra-taboo for them. I mean some people hardly like to think about LGBTetc doing anything let alone what they do in private, and they would likely have a very difficult time with this series. But if that sort of thing doesnā€™t even bother you, then yes, it IS a fantastic show. 2nd season is right around the corner too. :slight_smile:

Def worth it :thumbsup: after I finish the series I am going to rewatch Amazing Stories by Spielberg. Anyone remember that 80s show? Lol

Downloaded ā€œTodd and the Book of Pure Evilā€ funny weird show lol
Watched ā€œThe Last Kingdomā€ on netflix. Arguably better than Vikings tbh :slight_smile: loved it.
Just started ā€œBetweenā€ on netflix tonight watched the first episode with my lady. It seems like it could turn into a pretty interesting show. Will have to wait and see how it develops, but so far it is good.

Well I donā€™t know about being squeamish. Itā€™s just Iā€™m not into voyeurism and if the entertainment value relies on sex scenes, gay or otherwise, then it must be porn. :wink:

I may be clutching at straws trying to convince you to give the show another go but the ā€˜strap-onā€™ scene could be described as important to the plot as

Spoiler

one of the women was once a man and so the use of the sex aid proved that she had the full operation

It has been a while since I watched it, I can only recall that scene and 1 other, this other scene also adds to the plot by showing their powers are getting stronger.

If you are still not convinced then i can suggest Helix, Vikings, The Strain, The Man In The High Castle and The Last Kingdom.

Iā€™ll probably give it another goā€¦especially come winter. I did start watching Stranger Things recommended by @MisterSinner Only got through the first couple of episodes but yeah, itā€™s good! Thanks Mr.

Not seen Helix or the Castle but have the others. Good recommendations! Thanks.
