Well, this is my first time reviewing for a good article, so here goes! - adamstom97 (talk) 04:06, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

First

Lead

• The lead is well written and has good information. Just wondering whether it could be re-ordered a bit, to follow the article a bit more? Plot, then production, then reception, etc. Not a biggy, just think it might read better that way. - adamstom97 (talk) 06:29, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Premise

• I don't think you need to give the actor's surnames here, since you list the cast straight after. - adamstom97 (talk) 06:29, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

• Could the last sentence be reworded to not say "another sensate" twice? - adamstom97 (talk) 06:29, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Cast

• I would give the opening line a rewrite. "The majority of characters of the main cast" and "The actors selected are somewhere between" both feel a bit wonky, and references should come after punctuation. - adamstom97 (talk) 06:29, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Episodes

• I am getting some pretty major interference with the infobox and the episode table. The positioning of the episode table should ideally be as close to the premise section as possible without any major interference, so I suggest the whole episode section be moved to below the production one. - adamstom97 (talk) 06:29, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

• I can see that this article has all the production info for season 1 (rather than the separate season article). For consistency, that filming information should be split off to the separate article in some way or the season 2 filming information should be integrated into the main filming section rather than the season 2 subsection. Either way would be fine. - adamstom97 (talk) 06:29, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

• Sense8: Creating the World should have its own subsection at the bottom of the article rather than being listed with the actual series' episodes. - adamstom97 (talk) 06:29, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Production

• The line "Straczynski hopes that the series will consist of five seasons." seems a bit unnecessary to me. I think the rest of the paragraph covers that fine without it. - adamstom97 (talk) 06:29, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

• The information about Straczynski and the Wolfgang Bogdanow character should be reworked, rather than listing quotes like that. - adamstom97 (talk) 06:29, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

• The final VFX information appears to be unsourced. - adamstom97 (talk) 06:29, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

References

• You need to go through these and make sure that they are all archived and formatted appropriately (Variety should be linked to the appropriate Wikipedia article, Comic Book Resources should be under the publication parametre rather than work, etc.). - adamstom97 (talk) 06:29, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Second

@Freemanukem and AlexTheWhovian: Alright, everything is looking pretty good so far. I'm going to have another look through and see where we are at. - adamstom97 (talk) 22:35, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Lead

• Could the second and third paragraphs be combined? They just seem to go better together, and I don't think they really justify the split as they are. - adamstom97 (talk) 22:43, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Production

• That VFX info still needs a source. - adamstom97 (talk) 22:43, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Episodes

• The clean up of the filming info looks good, but I still think that the season two info from this section should be merged with it. So, all of the filming info (for the whole series) should be in the filming section, and the season two section should just have the renewal line, followed by the possible release dates, followed by the recasting info. - adamstom97 (talk) 22:43, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

References

• Continue to clean these up. - adamstom97 (talk) 22:43, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Final

@Freemanukem and AlexTheWhovian: This is a very good article, being well written, sourced, organised, etc., and you guys are clearly committed to improving it and fixing up all the other little issues that remain, so I am going to go ahead and promote the article to GA. Well done! Pass - adamstom97 (talk) 22:39, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
