    Absolute trainwreck. Garbage. Waste of time. Never does anything in the show get resolved. The characters barely behave like humans. Everything is so weird and wacky just for the sake of being weird and wacky. There is no real substance. It's so pretentious and just tries so hard to be profound and different and fails.

    A strange confusing perfectly curated mess(in the best way). It's sleek production alongside a talented cast captivate you further into through the obscure universes. What holds it back is its lack of humour or inability to balance tone. It's heavy throughout and stuck within itself.

    I wish I lived inside the brains of Zal Batmanglij and Brit Marling. It is as if both of them operated on a different (and better) frequency.

    Maintains the kooky and mind-bending story line, but at times it feels like it's spitballing ideas until they find one to fit the narrative.

    1st season is just brilliant.
    2nd one is nothing but a pretentious crap.
    100% reasonable cancelling, IMO.

    Although the first season was pretty weak, second season easily makes this show one of the best tv series ever, just give it a chance!

    Melhor série que já vi! Sem furos, com consistência e super emocionante. Não tem enrolação, e trabalhada com dedicação e pode se dizer que é uma obra de arte das que quase não existem mais nas telas do cinema, tv ou streaming.

    A mind bending and beautiful show. A whirlwind of sci-fi, spirituality, found family, and topped with a fantastic cast, crew, and story. Nothing can match it.

    The most fascinating show I have EVER seen (and I'm middle-aged.) We NEED this show to continue its arc with the next 3 seasons.

    It’s clear The OA is doubling down on its commitment to strangeness for strangeness's sake. All of which makes it a uniquely acquired taste – but also a show that, if you can attune yourself to its batty frequencies, delivers an experience like nothing else on screen.

    Events, characters and half-formed ideas are thrown at the screen then abandoned in favour of fresh mysteries, the show infinitely rolling out a carpet of kookiness.

    The first seven and a half hours of Season 2 are really striking, both grief drama and haunted-house mystery. But when the story finally gets where it’s been going the whole time, you realize that not much of what just happened really mattered; all anyone on The OA needs to do to change the scenery is jump dimensions. Which gives the whole show a dismaying weightlessness.
