Agreed on Daniela, I really liked her a lot, even if there were some scenes I had very mixed feelings about! I've seen a lot of hate for her and I'm just like nope can't relate.
And agreed in general that what was on screen works better than trying to make it fit with the word of god stuff. To be honest I try to interpret it as generously as possible when I watch (because I want to have fun!) but then sometimes I see crit based on stuff like that and I'm like, "you know, I get that too, that's actually right"--but it doesn't make the generous interpretation less right either, Death of the Author and all. I'm not dealbroken with Sense8, I'm just stalled over the pace alternating between really slow slice of life stuff and involved plot that's hard to jump into after a long break. I enjoy it when I watch it, honestly I cried so hard over Riley's backstory in s1 (and I like to be made to cry! It isn't easy!) I just...haven't gotten around to the rest of it yet. But it wasn't over these quibbles, for me personally--though if it's a dealbreaker for someone else, it is what it is and I don't have a problem with it.
In general I like the Wachowskis' work, I loved the first Matrix movie to bits from when I saw it in theaters, wasn't as keen on the second two though I wanted to like them a lot, and loved Jupiter Ascending in spite of the haters. Bound has been on my to-watch list for ages, but I was too young for it to be on my radar when it came out and I just haven't gotten my hands on it and set aside the time. I will probably just skip Speed Racer.
I remember being sad Sense8 was canceled even though I was Part of the Problem in not having watched s2 yet.
