Do you know who wrote & directed The Matrix? For some reason, I didn't until just now when I looked up the Wachowskis and saw it in their filmography. I had been watching the first season of the Netflix science fiction drama series Sense8 and was wondering who these brilliant people were (writing & directing alongside J. Michael Straczynski) and why I'd never heard of them before. It makes sense now because while The Matrix was an ambitious, unique movie, ahead of its time, the ambitiousness of Sense8 as a series causes me to question how Netflix even considered it.
