I finished The OA yesterday and I need to yell about it! If you have also seen it, please come yell with me!
Spoilers under the cut, but first non-spoilery for people who haven't seen it:
If you've been wondering if you should watch this show (it's on Netflix!), I recommend giving it a try! It's deeply weird and complex and intriguing in a way not many shows are. I think it's so hard to make a tv show that is still original and manages to engage and surprise the audience without also frustrating them and this really manages it imo.
It has a very engaging mystery at the center of both the first and second season to keep you engaged, but also manages to weave this weird, mind-bending world around it that is surreal without becoming otherworldly. It has (in S2) a few deep WTF moments and I do think there are probably people who liked S1 but lost the thread in S2 because it becomes so deeply strange and metaphysical, but I loved it.
So if you're interested; it has an engaging plot and very interesting characters and relationships, as well as themes of faith, connection, friendship, the multiverse etc.
Also, if you want to know more, ask and I will rave to you (non-spoilery ofc)!
I won't talk about plot beyond the basic premise because I went in not knowing much and it works best, I think, if you are surprised by it.
Now onto spoilers!
( Really, really don't read this if you haven't seen the show! )
