It's no mystery that Netflix has produced some of the best television shows of this decade. Even if they didn't create it, you can still stream ground-breaking series like "The Office," "Friends," and "Grey's Anatomy." One of Netflix's most recent creations is the drama "Sense8."

Each 50-ish minute episode follows the lives of eight twenty-somethings on their quest to figure out why they keep having strange visions. The visions consist of a woman committing suicide in an effort to save her "children," the eight cast members. As the plot thickens, the characters learn they can switch places with each other, using their attributes for their benefit.

The people in the series include a Chicago cop, a DJ in London, a woman about to be married in India, a Korean kickboxing expert, a matatu driver in Kenya, a German locksmith, a homosexual actor living in Mexico City and an activist and trans woman in San Francisco.

The show seems extremely progressive, right? And it is, in some ways. It describes the relationship between Nomi Marx (Jamie Clayton) and her girlfriend Amanda (Freema Agyeman). It talks about the struggle the LGBTQ community faces, as well as society's disbelief about those with mental illness.

"Sense8" is filled with sex, violence and profanity. What show isn't now? However, it has a few drawbacks that make viewers question just how "progressive" Netflix is getting.

Sun Bak (Doona Bae) is the daughter of a powerful Seoul businessman, who attempts to leave the shadow of the men in her family. She doesn't say much, but deals with her problems internally or through her fists (as she references many times). Haven't we seen this stereotype before? All Asian women aren't submissive, quiet and subject to men. That's all that seems to describe her personality, although the other characters do bring out more in her.

Homophobia is incredibly apparent in the character Will Gorski (Brian J. Smith), who freaks out when Lito Rodriguez (Miguel Ángel Silvestre) tells him that he's "seen him before". This references an episode when the eight characters all engage in a sexual out-of-body experience. Will becomes incredibly uncomfortable, which is very regressive. More straight men should become more acquainted with gay men, not represented in the media as homophobic.

"Sense8" is a fantastic show, don't get me wrong. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new series on Netflix. It's slightly hard to follow at first, but there will never be a dull moment and it will always keep you on the edge of your seat.

But is it really as progressive as it claims to be? And is society ready to be this avant-garde? Maybe that's why Netflix didn't go the extra mile. Nomi and Amanda aren't your "TV perfect" or "pornographic" lesbians, and Lito and his boyfriend engage in multiple sexual scenes. Yet they're always involved in sticky situations and can't be completely happy. Lito isn't even publicly gay until the last episode in the first season.

So, what do you think? Are you ready for completely politically incorrect plot lines? It might even be the case that a person can't even create a series that won't offend anyone. Someone is bound to play devil's advocate or be "uncomfortable" with what the media portrays.

It's hard to know what progressive really means. Despite the criticism, you really should watch "Sense8."It's one hell of a production.
