JMS and Wachowskis Teaming Up for New Netflix Funded Scifi Series

Via Engadget, comes a press release that might bring joy to fans of science fiction dismayed by years without any new scifi shows: "Continuing its quest to sate subscribers' appetites with a flow of original content, Netflix has announced a new original series, Sense8. Due in late 2014, it's being developed by the Wachowskis of The Matrix, V for Vendetta, Cloud Atlas and Speed Race fame, as well as J. Michael Straczynski, creator of Babylon 5. Details are thin, but the press release promises a gripping global tale of minds linked and souls hunted with a ten episode run for its first season." Hopefully it'll end up available on DVD eventually, for us poor GNU/Linux users who are not worthy enough for Netflix (or: to any Netflix engineers reading, make it work).

Re:hope its better than house of cards

Well you may need to see your doctor for a potential ADD diagnosis. House of Cards was one of the best shows I have seen recently. Admittedly, you need to pay attention, and this is obviously made hard for the average viewer as the explanations that make everything obvious are limited to a minimum, and there are no shootings or gory deads in the first 30 seconds of each episode. Oh and yes, there are no protagonists to root for and everybody is a bad guy (i kind a like this). This is probably the worst offense to the years of conditioning that Hollywood has provided to the viewing audiences.
