SummerLGrant (185 KP) rated Sense8 - Season 2 in TV

Character development for those neglected in the first series
Hugely addictive
It's slower and a bit clumsier than season 1 (0 more)
A decent follow up but doesn't match the first series
This is a decent follow up to the first season but it just doesn't quite match up. The story is still great and so are the characters but there was something missing from this season. It's great to get resolution to some stories carried over from season 1 and there's more questions thrown up by the introduction of other Sense8s, which creates a much deeper world that's begging to be explored.

While it might not be up to the standards of the first season there was no reason for Netflix not to renew the contract, I'm pretty sure a third season would've been able to wrap up everything nicely and satisfyingly. Thankfully, the fans came out in force and Netflix and the Wachowski's have managed to negotiate a feature length episode to finish the story. Hopefully it'll be the story Sense8 deserves

A Series of Unfortunate Events is my favourite series on Netflix, so a few months ago I decided I was finally going to buy the books and read the whole series, and I don’t regret that decision.

The Reptile Room is the second book in the series and is much better than the Netflix series.

The book opens with Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire on their way to live with their uncle, Dr Montgomery Montgomery, a semi-successful herpetologist with a large collection of reptiles.

Dr Montgomery’s assistant, Gustav, left him without any notice just before the Baudelaire orphans arrive, and his replacement, Stephano is strangely like Count Olaf.

The thing I love about The Reptile Room is the dark humour running throughout it. There are constant jokes that are definitely not aimed towards children which make it such a fun book to read.

It’s funny, sad and entertaining all at the same time and I really do wish I’d have read it when I was younger because it’s just the ideal book for me.

Not too much dwelling on back story
Stretched out (0 more)
As with the other series on Netflix (more notably Jesse Jones), I felt this series was a little dragged out to the agreed 13 episodes.
The story is good with Luke playing the underdog well, and the different setting of Harlem worked well.
My favourite moment was in the flashback after Luke escaped from Seagate prison and ended up dressed like the 70s comic equivalent for a brief moment

A cool and sexy Vampire show
A cool Vampire show written by Kevin Williamson who also worked on Scream, @The Following - Season 1
 @Stalker - Season 1
This has the same look and vibe to it. I was worried this might be like @Twilight (2008) but it's much better than that. If you like Vampire tales you should like this. It's now on Netflix.

A Pretty Decent Netflix Original
This film is 'old hat' in terms of fighting a 'presence' that no one quite understands, but it does it in an interesting way and that's what kept me watching. There are no big names in this flick, however, the cast is still very good, making the characters both believable and interesting. Special effects were pretty good too. Would I watch again? Maybe.

Interesting Story
The storyline in this movie is very interesting which is what caused me to bother watching it at all. The acting let this one down though, it all felt very forced, which is generally what I've come to expect from TV movies. The locations they filmed at are very beautiful though. Probably wouldn't bother watching again but it's worth a look if you've run out of interesting things to watch on Netflix.
