There are some things in life that you cannot explain. One of those things is my deep love and connection to this show. I remember telling my neighbor to watch the OA. When I saw him again he said that he didn't like it and preferred Stranger Things. I thought to myself, "you missed it".

It may have been the time of life I was in when I initially was captivated by the first season of the OA. My wife and I had recently learned that we lost our first child due to a miscarriage. We were broken. This show is full of broken people.

There is so much to consume nowadays. It is rare to find the diamond in the rough, but this show was one of those times for me. I rewatched the first season in anticipation for this season and again was drawn into the deepness of the story telling. The final episode of season 1, especially the ending, is so powerful to me. When they recognize each other in the midst of a horrifying situation, and act out of courage, it truly touches me.

I thought the first episode of this season was dark, mysterious and original. For those disappointed that they didn't see the old familiar place they were expecting, well that is just it isn't it? We are on the other side now, in a way. I think about one of the greatest shows I have ever seen, The Wire, and how the second season "departed" from the first, but the final product was a dazzling masterpiece with a POINT. There was a purpose for why it was put together like that.

I am so happy they took 3 years to write this. This is a story that needs time to develop and not rushed like so much else on Netflix.

This show is special. It truly is. I want to binge the whole thing but I promised my wife I would wait for her. I am looking forward to episode 2 tomorrow night.

If you love David Lynch you will love this Show. If you are tired of seeing detective shows or the same show over and over again. This is something you Show definitely watch. Maybe you won't love it after watching one or two episodes...but then this series will grow on you and you will probably consider it one of the greatest shows to watch right now. You will love it or hate it, there is no middle terms on this show.

The high quality writing that made season 1 a masterpiece took 3 years to write a follow up to dazzle what fans of season found truly truly magical!!!! Please rewatch s1 bc its better the second time and a straight binge makes this a masterpiece! So many things happened s1, plus the character growth was tremendous! The school shooting was deeply planned and not a random muppet show. The writers did not dumb down and were confident in the second season. I love reading what big fans this show has made despite it being criminally underrated. I cant think of a better thriller and intriguing series! Every moment is unpredictable and such a thriller!

Jason Isaac controlled the tempo and played his character with vigor and conviction. Hes the real MVP!

Wow, the first episode definitely set an intriguing tone for the rest of the season! Can't wait to see what's ahead & I can't believe it's been since 2016 when I watched this! It's been way too long! Definitely an underrated show, in my opinion.

Season 2 started strong. This first episode is more interesting to me than half of the season 1. It finally got a bit more sci-fish and more surreal which I was looking forward to. The whole story with the mysterious game reminds me of Black Mirror. Nina adjusting to a new parallel reality is really well done. I feel like I'm watching a different show, but it is a better one. Season one focused on drama between human relationships, but this season seems to be determined to focus on the mystery and the surreal base of the whole story. It is tense, mysterious and it leaves you wanting more (unlike some rather boring episodes from season 1.

This was a really great start to the 2nd part of the series, I'm definitely going to keep watching.

Without going into spoilers, the one thing about OA herself that bugs me and still is happening is: She's been dealing with psychologists and psychiatrists since she was a little girl, how the hell is she so bad at not saying things that sound crazy? Its so aggravating because she's supposed to be so wise and in-touch with everything and reads/understands people so well, yet she can't help externally monologuing when she knows she's being evaluated.

If you don't want to be injected with sedatives and get locked in a room when you need to be out doing things, try LYING and telling the doctors/nurses what they want to hear so they think you're not crazy!

I think it was mixed of some episodes from tv series Cringe with some from Channel zero ... spiritual goes to si if in a weird way it's not acceptable for me and doing a movement in season 1 if you know about these things, the way human and your emotional doing the job has got nothing to do with robots doing the movement (realy dumb). If someone ask me name me a tv series with beautiful story I'll say the OA season one but make sure you don't see season 2.

Loved Part I ... don't get Part II at all. Only half way through Episode 1 but the story is incomprehensible and the video is unwatchable. Why is it even dark in the sunshine? Maybe they were going for some effect, but it's so annoying we may not be around for the rest of it. And where is OA? Homer? Hap? Why are we supposed to care about the missing gamer?

I dont care about this story.

Actually becomes annoying watching her reactions and just hearing her talk through this episode.

Hope it picks up. But was rubbish. Simple as that really.

My favorite thing in the whole world is to get invested into a show, Have that show end a season with a cool cliff hanger, and then start the next season pretending we all aren't waiting for some answers. Instead, we just get more questions. Maybe it's ok for some, but I'm not for me. Feels like I'm re watching The Handmaids tale all over again.
