Sense8: The Series Finale
This Netflix original sci-fi series is practically a legend at this point.
After two seasons, Netflix canceled Sense8 in 2017, claiming that it wasn't bringing
in enough viewers to justify its exorbitant cost, rumored to be $9 million per episode
in Season 2.
"Someone tell me just what in the hell is going on here?"
When the dust had all cleared, fans were left with a massive cliffhanger and an insatiable
urge for more Sense8, leading to a flood of online petitions to put the show back on the
air.
It seems like someone at Netflix has heard the cries for more, and a two-hour series
finale is finally slated to land on Netflix on June 8th.
The Staircase
In 2001, novelist Michael Peterson called the police to report that his wife, Kathleen,
