    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This series is a mind-blowing experience. Its a great mix of psychology, and fantasy. A weird combination, but the show made it into a masterpiece!
    The series is by far one of my favourites. The character developments and emotional rollercoasters your taken on, throughout the show is phenomenal.
    I highly recommend for anyone who like the psychological genre.    … Expand

    A unique and at times bonkers show that isn't nearly as smart as it thinks it is.

    Whether her story is real or the byproduct of extreme trauma is one of many questions at the heart of this haunting, graceful and often frustratingly cryptic series.

    The less you know about it before going in the better. This is a must-watch series and if a feeling of incompleteness should fill your cavity upon completing it, simply cleanse your palette and start over again.

    Anchored by a spectacular central performance and a series of increasingly wacky ideas, The OA is frequently mind-boggling, but worth the effort.
