I wanted so much that it would be good. Because I really like the subject but also for Max.
The first episodes were kind of disappointing. From the reviews I knew it would be slow, so I was prepared for that.
But I didn't care about a few of the characters and the storylines. Lito's story: weird and chaotic. Sun and Riley: I didn't get the point. Kala: it looked like a Bollywood movie.
I really liked Capheus, Wolfgang (of course) and Will. Not sure about Nomi.
The moment I was starting to feel for all the characters, was the karaoke scene. I loved that scene so much, all singing the same song (one of my favorite songs ever) in different places. I fell for Kala at that moment and loved Sun dancing in the shower. And Capheus....great.
From that moment I was getting more interested in all the characters and storylines. Also there were more connection moments between them and a few emotional and funny scenes.
From episode 7/8 I was really hooked, more action scenes.
About the connection thing: I still don’t understand much of it, why and how they became sensates. And why exactly them.
But for now this doesn’t bother me. I might have missed things (I will rewatch the whole thing) or maybe this will be more clear in a next season.
I have a "Lost" feeling here. After the first season there were more questions than answers.
What did bother me, was the easy way most of the sensates seemed to accept what happened. The only one who got any explanation was Will (from Jonas). And Nomi and in the end Riley.
But the others just started showing up in different places without asking any questions?? Like Capheus visited Riley in London and was like: wow, London, great.
Unless I missed it, most of the sensates didn't hear about the sensate stuff but they did show up everywhere to help each other.
It wasn't perfect but I loved (most of it) anyway.
