    • 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.

    How is this canceled??
    I am honestly besides myself about all of this. I watched this a few months ago and ended up deeply enthralled in this storyline and was so confident that there would be a 3rd season. I was honestly so convinced that there would be a 3rd season that I never even considered the fact that it could even be canceled. Needless to say, I was shocked the other day when I heard the news that Netflix decided to cancel The OA. One of the most interesting stories out there and they decide to cancel? And not only was it interesting, but it was also insanely innovative, well done, and likely an actual original concept (never before thought of and/or executed) story that transcended both mind and space? And they decide to cancel?
