This show is pure fandom wish-fulfillment

sarrenYAY FANDOM LOVE - I haven’t been this excited about a fandom in ages. I’m only four episodes in and SO MUCH LOVE. The show is about eight diverse people in different parts of the world who become linked psychically and emotionally… so basically SOULBONDING!!!
I know that some people don't love the show because they thought the season finale was vague and confusing, but hey, it's been renewed, so hopefully it will work itself out. But even if it doesn't, I don't care! As always I am not here for the plot. This show tells eight different stories so you've pretty much got to just enjoy the ride.
And I am pretty confident I'm not going to be disappointed - it's one of the most requested fandoms for Yuletide this year and I've been perusing the letters, and nearly all of them are happy for all the sensates to be included, they love them all, so. YAY.
DID I MENTION THE SOUL BONDING.
Cute vid from 1.04 – Wolfgang is karaokeing and the others are starting to tune in to each other even though they have no idea what’s going on -
The Sensates
CAPHEOUS - a matatu driver in Nairobi and a passionate fan of Jean-Claude Van Damme who is trying to earn money to buy AIDS medicine for his mother.
SUN - daughter of a powerful Seoul businessman and a burgeoning star in the underground kickboxing world.
NOMI - a trans woman hacktivist and blogger living in San Francisco with her girlfriend Amanita.
KALA - a university-educated pharmacist and devout Hindu in Mumbai who is engaged to marry a man she does not love.
RILEY - an Icelandic DJ living in London who is trying to escape a troubled past.
WOLFGANG - a Berlin locksmith and safe-cracker who has unresolved issues with his late father and participates in organized crime.
LITO - Lito Rodriguez, a closeted actor of Basque background living in Mexico City with his boyfriend.
WILL - a Chicago police officer haunted by an unsolved murder from his childhood.

And there's some plot stuff I think :-)
