    [8.5] Hypnotically intense and captivating

    The OA was quite a remarkable series with deep screenplay, intense storyline and marvelous acting.

    • Its season 1 was quite better because of the more compact storyline and the more tangible turns of events.
    • Season 2 lost its track a little, got confused, but didn't downgrade in terms of quality. It just got deeper, more intricate and intriguing.


    It totally deserved to be continued, having become more varied and interesting and should have been green lighted with a next chapter. When you have such a deep screenplay, such awesome acting and such spiritual and kind of psychotronic world in hand, you do not close your eyes and just cancel. You value your viewers and bring the series to a proper and satisfying closure.

    But then, Netflix is on the driving seat.

    Please Netflix make another season!!!

    Great show. Very good storyline and acting. Unfortunately Netflix canceled this series without a proper ending. Frustrating! Why. I wonder. Why cancel a series with such good ratings.

    Cancelled by Netflix, WHY?

    How come Netflix is choosing to cancel this show? Its make no sense at all. Great show, with great storytelling, a "magic feeling" you get when whatching it (as long as you take the show for what it is). Hope some other network pick it up.

    Bring back the OA season 3 please!

    One of the best moving shows I have ever watched. You have got to pay close attention to watching it. It's one of those shows that if you look away for a few minutes you'll lose track of what's going on. It's a wonderful show.

    Like a book without the last chapter

    This should not be permitted to happen. This is the second time I have begun a promising series only to find out it is unfinished. If we went to a theater and two-thirds of the way through the movie the lights came on and there was an announcement, "Sorry folks, we decided not to finish this" we'd demand a refund. Unfortunately, I've already invested 10+ hours I cannot get back. There ought to be a law. Netflix is misrepresenting their product and I feel cheated and betrayed. From now on I will not begin a series until I know that it is completed. It's bad enough that I've waited as much as 5 years for the next or final episodes to be released, but to find that the entire program has been abandoned won't happen again to this unhappy subscriber.

    • Trivia
      In preparation for her role, Brit Marling befriended a man who went blind at age nineteen to tutor her in coping with the day-to-day chores of a typical blind person. The couple would meet in downtown Manhattan and she would spend up to six hours per day learning how to clean an apartment, make an omelet, et cetera. Throughout these sessions, Brit would be blindfolded.
