One of the Netflix originals, the first season of twelve episodes became available on June the 5th this year. It's predominantly produced, directed and written by the Wachowskis and Michael Straczynski, a combination that works very well I think.
I watched half of the series last night as it's highly absorbing, beautifully done with a very refreshing look at some themes that have been skipped over by mainstream SF series such as sexuality, gender and religion.
It's not just about that though, the series premise is about eight apparent strangers from different places in the world who become linked telepathically and emotionally during the powerful opening scene - any more than that, you'll have to find out for yourselves.
I will warn that if anyone is uncomfortable with gay relationship portrayal, then you'll probably not like this as it is quite strongly represented, along with plenty of no-nonsense sexuality in general - as I say though, I found it all very refreshing.
I hope it does well as the Netflix Originals initiative is a good one to support and a viable counter measure for the stupidity behind the major networks cancellation policies.

but anyway. I don't know if they planned to continue the series with more seasons, but I'm still waiting a series that can match the ending of Six Feet Under. That ending was absolutely PERFECT. Completely different genre, but perfect.
Thankfully the 2nd season I binged on my own. It's such a roller coaster, I love it.
