    Truly bizarre, original and wonderful. Given that the premise of the show is that interdimensional travel is possible if you know the right interpretive dance moves (more or less), you'd think it'd be tough to come up with some new and surprising, but they somehow managed to.

I love how outlandish this show is and how earnest all of the characters are. There are moments of levity but everyone has a seriousness of purpose and there is no cynicism. I can't help but laugh when Steve starts breaking out the dance moves; I'm not mocking the show though. It's more like I can't believe what I'm watching and that it's drawing me in. Netflix, please bring this show back for Season 3. .… Expand

    i have no words. Undescribable and simply extraordinary. I just finished part II and it's even better than the first part. It's also really different and they're not afraid to take risks and make the audience think. The ending is totally genius and I've been talking to different people in the past 4 hours to try and see what we all understood.

    The 3rd dimension that OA and Hap and I guess Steven arrive in at the end is OUR dimension, where Netflix exists and where THE OA is being filmed. I thought it was weird when people from the crew called OA "Brit" (it's the actress's real name) and then Hap says "I'm Jason Isaacs her husband", and the actor who plays Hap is named Jason Isaacs. I just wanted to write it down even though I guess everyone got it, because it's just totally genius and I absolutely can't wait to see what they're gonna do for part III.    … Expand

    OA is one of the few truly brilliant works of TV I have ever seen. The premise is intriguing and ropes you in from the first few scenes.

I watched both seasons over a two week period and felt as though I'd lost a friend when the second season came to a shocking climax, breaking all the rules of storytelling while provoking a great sense of wonder at what lies ahead. I only hope Netflix extends the series for the full five season arc that the creators intended. OA doesn't just tell a story, it makes you challenge your own reality. It gets your creative juices flowing. If you are a fan of Eastern novels: The Three Body Project or IQ84 you will love this challenging work of art.… Expand

    Com um tom mais investigativo, conecta o público a série, tendo uma maior conexão que a primeira temporada, a segunda temporada possui mais ação e envolvimento com o público para fazer as descobertas, não é mais o passado de OA e sim a sua realidade.

    Very well done, well written, well acted complex with an ending that brings everything together accompanied with a rush of ideas as all the pieces are being drawn together. Great concept, new and exciting, Could have done without the gay sex but otherwise an excellent story. Look forward to season 3

    Rarely do I think a sequel is as good as the original, but this one was; perhaps better than the first. There will be those that are haters of anything sci-fi or paranormal, but this series is creative, unusual, interesting, and exploratory of humanity, ethics, and the search for truth and something greater. Great writing and performances! Bravo!

Actually, having watched S2, I went back to watch S1 again and it makes it a much more rewarding experience, noticing all kinds of little things that you may not have remembered if you saw it when it first came out.

    But S2, WOW! I absolutely love it when a show surprises the s**t out of me and forces me to binge. The creators manage to tie everything together with the OA, a missing person case, and some other truly weird stuff that I found it delightful to watch (I actually like the octopus). It all has an air of wonderful weirdness, a bit like watching Twin Peaks. The characters are so well played that certain moments have more emotional impact than you would expect but that is not a bad thing, it just catches you by surprise That is to say, it is not *like* Twin Peaks but it has a similar air of uniqueness of which the viewer loves to be a part.

    No spoilers here, except the one glaring flaw is the absolutely HIDEOUS pair of glasses that Dr. Percy wears. Who picked those? A very minor sin, though, and I assume there will be, and I eagerly await a third season. They certainly built it accordingly.

    Also not a spoiler, but...THE ROBOTS ARE AWESOME (both big and small)!!!    … Expand

    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.
