Unique in its style and delivery, it does take a little longer than you may like to take off from the ground, but stick with it. The best types of television shows are the ones that make you pay attention through every moment it's on-screen, and that's exactly what you'll have to do here if you want to come away from it having an enjoyable and understanding experience.

It's great to see Lost alum Naveen Andrews back in a powerful series such as this and he delivers whenever he's present, drawing viewer attention and making the role of Jonas his own. That's not to take away from the rest of the cast - Tuppence Middleton, Brian J. Smith, Doona Bae, Ami Ameen, Miguel Angel Silvestre, Jamie Clayton, Tina Desai and Max Riemelt - they all bring something different to the table and each of their characters has something engaging and relatable about them.

Without giving too much away, Sense8 is a series that combines eight people's lives brought together by their mental connection as well as Naveem's Jonas - and sees them fight off threats as they're hunted by those who classify them as a danger to the world's order.

What Netflix has done here is add another brilliant original to its collection. The streaming service is becoming more and more known for delivering on everything it puts out and this will only strengthen that belief.

All episodes of Sense8 are available now on Netflix.
