Description : 8 individuals scattered in every corner of the world, from Asia to Africa through the United States, are connected by a sudden and violent vision. From now connected, they become able to see, to feel , to hear and to speak each other as if they were in the same place, and so to reach the darkest secrets of each other. From this moment, the 8 have to adapt from this new power, but also to understand the whys and wherefores. Avoiding an organization which wants to capture them, to kill them or to use them as guinea pigs, they look for which consequences this upheaval could have on the humanity.

My opinion : That is a kind of serie that everyone expects from Netflix ! What a good and original idea to think about a power which would link some completely different people around the world ! We all born in a precise place in the world and often finish our days in this place or around it, so the authors let us imagine how it could be if we had several spirits which would live all around the world, and that's so pleasant. It allows us to discover wonderful landscapes like India, Africa or Corea !
Except some science-fi scenes, the serie is stuck in reality so it's easy to identify to the characters. Besides the characters are all so different, from the hero cop to the gay actor of Hollywood through the russian gangster or again the young african which fighting every day to save her mother from aid, the mixity is perfect ! Episode after episode they understand that they are linked and they try to know how it is possible and who is at the beggining of all of that, and the spectator discovers it with them with so much curiosity ! 
However, a little caveat about the serie : the serie takes time to set up and it could be a lil bit annoying during the two or three first episodes ! 
To resume, this serie has no counterpart, if you are looking for an original serie you will like it ! 
For the moment, only one season is available on Netflix, the second one is still producing.

Rate : 7/10

Find below a kind of trailer which presents the different characters which are listening one same song called "What's up", such a good music !
