The cluster risks everything to save one of its own.
BeforeSense8came about, the film industry was getting rocky for the Wachowskis.
But thematically, their messages about freedom, love, and anti-corporate justice stayed consistent.

But in episodes like You Want a War?
we get to see their cinematic vision more cogently than ever.
is its own movie.
Suns 24-minute chase through Seoul could stand up with the best of Bourne.
At the start ofSense8s first season, Sun was perhaps the most confusing of the characters.
She was the repressed daughter of a millionaire businessman… and a pro cagefighter?
Shes kind and sensitive, and she sticks up for her friends.
But do not cross this hardass.
But the snake shoots our beloved Hot Detective and pegs it on his sister, unaware that shesactuallythere.
As he runs, he spots her, pulling her wig off and pulsing with rage.
What do we do now?
We get that motherfer, Will responds.
Thats right, you better run.
Chasing her brother and his goons into the garage, Sun accepts an assist from Kala.
She fires at the gas tankers of several cars, setting off an explosion.
Speaking of character evolutions, can we all agree that Kala is dope?
You could tell Wolfgang couldnt get enough of her with a gun.
Neither could I.
Joong-Ki tries to get away alone.
Sun goes after him.
They tear through the streets in a classic Wachowski chase.
Cars flip, markets get demolished, and Sun serves some sickening side-eyes from a motorcycle.
Finally, she drives a pole into Joong-Kis whip, flipping it over.
He crawls out, bleeding and begging for mercy.
Shes arrested, and he gets escorted back into a limo.
Sun is clearly terrified, but her family holds her close, and she survives.
The pervy Puck comes to the rescue, likely tipped off by the Archipelago.
They ride off to uncertain safety.
After helping to save her sister, Nomi crashes into bed with Amanita.
But before they can relax, she checks in with her love: Are you okay with this?
Amanita is not only okay with it, but committed to it for the rest of her life.
Its a draw, and they couldnt be giddier.
This couple has been a delight since their early Nancy Drew adventures.
This is going to be an amazing wedding.
And an even better honeymoon orgy.
The weakest part of the episode comes in Mumbai, when Rajan returns home.
Apparently, hes involved in a political corruption case, and Ajay is at the center of it.
Its all pretty silly.
Now their marriage could be in danger?
I have no idea what is going on there, and neither Kala nor I seem to care.
Hes rented an apartment in Paris and needs her to go there for her safety.
No need to ask her twice.
Sun and Riley watch news reports in a Love Motel.
It seems that Hot Detective is going to make it.
But Puck wont leave them alone.
He thinks hes entitled to a reward from the princess.
With Rileys nod, Sun breaks his toes and calmly orders him: Go.
The two women seem to move together instinctively, beyond any direction.
There arent a lot of ensembles that can do this.
Will wants them to get information out of Puck.
But the interview gets cut short.
Pucks been warned: The Cannibal is hunting.
No one is safe.
Kala and Wolfgang pack and flirt.
She inspects his gun, and he pokes around with her lingerie.
But before she boards her flight to Paris, she needs to know that he really loves her.
But then Lila shows up, and it all comes crashing down.
Shes sold Wolfgang out to Whispers, and his goons show up at Wolfys pad with Tasers.
Hes out, and Kala scrambles through the minds of her cluster to come up with a plan.
Shes going to need to manufacture a lot of psy-blockers.
Whispers straps Wolfgang down and puts him through a horrific series of electroshocks to draw out his connections.
The pain electrifies the whole cluster, nearly incapacitating them all at once.
But now, Whispers has a lock on Kala.
Will begs Jonas to help them, but its too late: Hes crossed over.
According to him, theres only one way out, and Angelica already took it.
The shocks hit Lito particularly hard, and he starts spitting blood in the bathroom.
Suddenly, its on.
Whispers takes a break from torturing poor Wolfgang to meet with Will in the interrogation room.
Sun, Neets, Capheus and Nomi show up at Jonass door and take him out.
Now, weve got our entire cluster save Wolfgang together.
And theyve got Jonas and Whispers in their hands.
But first and foremost, can they rescue Wolfgang and have an IRL group-sex session?
Its been a surprisingly sex-light season.
Arent we owed a big bang for season 3?
In a tightly constructed, beautifully shot season, the best part has been watching this cast get closer.
