Kala, Sense8 May 02, 2017

Show notes

This episode we discuss Kala (Tina Desai) from the Netflix original series Sense8. Imagine one day sharing a mind with 7 other people. She navigates between science and faith and between love and duty, all while dealing with her new reality.

Correction: We mistakenly stated that the character Capheus was from Nigeria, in fact he is from Nairobi, Kenya. Geography is not our strong suit.
