A Thank You Letter To Sense 8

Goodbye to our favorite cluster.

A Thank You Letter To Sense 8

Netflix surprised us all this past week with a 6 show cancellation that included some fan favorites like Marco Polo, The Get Down, and the currently trending Sense 8. I had intended to write about all the reasons why you should watch Sense 8, but since we will forever be left hanging on what the 3rd season could've brought us, here's a thank you letter to everything Sense 8 managed to give us in its 2 season run.

1. Thank for the diversity.

A quite literal global show that took us into places such as Africa, Mexico, Iceland, Brazil, and so many others during its 2 season run and brought us characters from all walks of life. Sure, there have been shows that have transported us to other countries, but Sense 8 somehow made you feel like you were walking the same streets of Amsterdam along with the characters and their story lines. The diversity of the cast itself and the places it chose to showcase was a breath of fresh air.

2. Thank you for the representation.

The cast was as diverse as the stories that surrounded them and their culture. There was nothing generic about the characters and I still don't want to say too much without giving away important character plotlines because they all matter towards the bigger picture. All 8 gentle souls disguised in their bodies and connected telepathically in a way that reminded the audience just how similar we all really are, despite our differences.

3. Thank you for the team work.

Somehow these 8 beings who have never met and have nothing in common all somehow manage to work together for the greater good of their cluster. All of their weaknesses and strengths reminding audiences that there is something we can offer each other, even in the darkest of moments.

4. Thank you for the laughs.

Even though this show was mostly serious and action packed, there are moments when you find yourself laughing at the hilarity that is the entire cluster situation.

5. Thank you for the action.

Because we all love a good fight scene and even though I am the worst with blood and gore, for this show I was grateful at its brutal honesty and action packed story lines.

6. Thank you for the tears.

Both happy and sad because, let's be honest, this show could not have been a hit without being an emotional roller coaster.

7. Thank you for the friendship

The cluster is a group of 8 people who in our universe would have never crossed paths, and if they had they would have kept walking, but in the Sense 8 universe, the bond of their friendship is unbreakable-no matter the cost or the risk.

8. Thank you for the love

A show that brought 8 people together both physically and mentally in 2 seasons and somehow managed to make an even better love story than Twilight.

Even though there is little hope of this show getting its happy ending or any ending at this point, I still highly recommend at least watching the 1st season to know why the uproar has been so loud in favor of Sense 8.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
