‘Sense8’: Inside the Last-Minute Scramble to Film at the Biggest Gay Pride Celebration in the World
[Editor’s note: The following contains small spoilers for “Sense8” Season 2, Episode 6, “Isolated Above, Connected Below.”]
“Sense8” is one of TV’s craziest, most unique series, and no one knows that better than executive producer Grant Hill — the guy who has to handle the show’s insane production logistics. While in the thick of show, the cast and crew are constantly traveling from location to location, literally spanning the globe over the course of months.
Hill began working with Lana and Lilly Wachowski as the unit production manager (UPM) on “The Matrix Reloaded,” and has been involved with all of their projects ever since. But the challenges presented by “Sense8” were a step beyond what he’d been asked to do before. “Probably the hardest but the best decision we made was that we wanted to film everything that was scripted in a particular city in that city,” he explained.

Dani, Lito, and Hernando is awful polyamory it delegitimizes and takes way from their homosexuality and their anger at Dani in earlier parts of the series. It isn’t healthy or consensual
They got mad at Dani literally like two years ago. Before they bought a house together. Before Lito came out. Suffice it to say, they forgave her when she went back to her abuser to make up for her mistake.
As far as homosexuality goes, on this show, it’s thoughtful of unclear what they have to say about that. We’ve seen all the sensates have sex with each other, obviously.

While Lito says he was homosexual and Hernando states that since Daniela is not a man she’s a no-go for Lito, Hernando never says the equal for himself. Not once in the entire series do
‘Sense8’ actor Miguel Angel Silvestre on operational with the iconic Wachowskis and celebrating gay Pride in Brazil … in (or out?) of character
Netflix’s soapy sci-fi series from Lana and Lilly Wachowski, Sense8, revolves around a telepathically-connected community of strangers called Sensates. Located all over the planet, these diverse individuals can see and even teleport via their fellow Sensates’ minds to aid each other, especially when avoiding the dangerous enemy Whispers, who is determined to track the Sensates down.
Handsome Spanish actor Miguel Angel Silvestre plays one of the Sensates — Lito, a gay actor in Mexico City who went from hiding his relationship with boyfriend Hernando (Alfonso Herrera) during the first season to being publicly outed in December’s Sense8 Christmas special. May 5 welcomes the global debut (and, surely, binge-watching session) of Sense8 Season 2.
Silvestre, who previously co-starred in Pedro Almodovar’s I’m So Excited, discussed the upcoming season, which will see the Sensates — including Nomi, a San Francisco-based lesbian trans blogger/hacker played by Jamie Clayton, as well as native North Texas Brian J. Smith — come together f
