History Series / Sense8

** If you aren't regularly engaging in fighting or hand-to-hand combat, your body just isn't going to have the strength and dexterity to pull off epic kick-boxing or WaifFu moves on the fly, even if a more experienced person should happen to be put in the driving seat. While there's not really any way to ''confirm'' this, at the very least doing such moves unprepared should result in severe sprains and serious downtime - more than half of martial arts training is simply going through said sprains and downtime to increase flexibility. [[note]] As an [[TrainingFromHell extreme]] example, while training to film ''Film/TheForbiddenKingdom'', three men basically rack-stretched Michael Angarano until his muscles and ligaments tore, then forced him to practice while he was healing. Three weeks of limping later, he could do a full split.[[/note]] Additionally, whoever happens to be controlling the body would likely be used to moving with a very different centre of gravity due to a different height or weight, and thus less able to effectively manage their temporary body; and several of the skills that the Sensates loan to each other rely on muscle memories that another person's body isn't likely to have. To put it another way; even if an Olympic gymnast took over your body for a stretch, it's not going to make ''you'' any more physically capable of taking part in a tournament.

** The ending of the first season hints at the plotlines to come. [[spoiler:Will has to be kept in an induced coma and Riley has to protect him; Sun is still in prison while her murderous brother is free; Kala is going to marry a good man whom she does not love; and Wolfgang broke up with her for her own good (as he sees it) and has to deal with the fallout of murdering his remaining family; Capheus will need to find another source of money for his mother's medicine; Lito's career is in jeopardy; and Nomi is a fugitive. However, it turns out Riley, now that she has revealed her deepest pain to the cluster, is no longer the DistressedDamsel but the first sensate capable of visiting every member at once.]] In addition to that, Jonas's motives are still unclear and we aren't given an explanation as to who Sara Patrell is.

** Lito's acting and skill with seduction come in very handy when charming, distracting, lying or otherwise getting information from people.

** A variation of sorts in Lito's storyline: he, Hernando, and Daniela begin living together and are relatively open with each other sexually - Lito and Hernando have sex while [[ADateWithRosiePalms Daniela watches and masturbates to it]]. This is taken even further in Season 2 when the three of them officially move in together and imply that they'll be sharing the bath together.

* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: In a telepathic orgy no less. Several even.

** A clever one built into a {{callback}} in season 2; Lito returns to the bar where he asked for [[LiquidCourage a double tequila]] followed by a second order of ''[[UpToEleven double the first order]]'', "tequila squared" - upon seeing him, the bartender asks if we wants "tequila squared" again, and he says "cubed" - yes, that's '''8''' shots of tequila, one for each member of the cluster.

* WorkoutFanservice: The Christmas special has numerous scenes of Sun training in her underwear, or at least partially stripped. "Isolated Above, Connected Below" features a scene of Kala [[EatingTheEyeCandy watching Wolfgang play soccer]] while shirtless.

* TranslationConvention: Most of the time the audience hears English, regardless of what language the characters are speaking. Spanish sounds like English spoke with a Spanish accent, Hindi sounds like English spoken with a Hindi accent, etc. (Of course, Riley also sounds like she's speaking English with an Icelandic accent when she actually ''is'' [[ShapedLikeItself speaking English with an Icelandic accent]].) The cluster can all understand each other no matter the language they are speaking, and thus so can we. It is implied that they hear each other in the language that they understand the most. The only time it's not used is when a member of the cluster starts speaking another's language. In fact the only member of the cluster who is confirmed to speak more than one language beforehand is Capheus, knowing both English and Swahili through a throwaway line with Riley.
