In addition to her role as creator and executive producer of this mind-bending series, Brit Marling also plays the role of Prairie Johnson, a young woman who returns home after a 7-year disappearance. Her sudden return is not the only miraculous occurrence: everyone is shocked to learn that Prairie is no longer blind. While the FBI and her parents are anxious to discuss Prairie's disappearance, she won't talk about what happened during the time that she was missing. Zal Batmanglij, the co-creator and an executive producer of the series, is the director of every episode.

4/5
The OA is kind of genius, while simultaneously being incredibly silly. And you know what? I love it! I love its goofy, loopy vibe. Go to Full Review Esther Zuckerman Thrillist Apr 18, 2019
The sequence with Old Night is what The OA does best. At first the scene is stunning, almost laughable, in its sheer oddity, but then the mood morphs, as it pulsates with existential terror and a sort of unnerving sexuality. Go to Full Review Rachel Syme The New Republic Mar 29, 2019
I wish more television was this unafraid to leave its audience fumbling for understanding. Go to Full Review Jennifer Bisset CNET Apr 6, 2023
It glues itself together with realistic, loyal characters bonded by their harrowing shared ordeals. There's even a believable love story, a flicker of warmth amid the creepy science, cryptic puzzles and trippy imagery. Go to Full Review Taylor Baker Drink in the Movies Oct 4, 2021

[The OA] manages to be stranger, more puzzling and even more addictively demented than the first season. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

E W @emmmmmw 1 day ago Wish it could come back, Great show See more Qin H @kin1127 Sep 3, 2026 Good show but elusive See more Kathy V @RT64332554 Aug 2, 2026 I really liked season one, I think about ive watched it 4 times. I also watched season 2 after. Season 2, a lot of it is boring. I can understand why no 3rd season. No good without Homer Maybe he had to go make Brooklyn or Beyond the Pines, lol or maybe it was palms Murder at the End of The World also a really really great series of Brit Marling. Harris Dickinson is the Emery Cohen in this movie, i hate to say better though. See more Dylan H. @ddubharris Jun 19, 2026 One of the best shows ever made. That’s it. That’s the review. (Somehow season 2 is even better than season 1) See more Jim S @Sharkmiester Jun 3, 2026 Not a light watch. You need to pay attention to every second, or you'll quickly become confused. Even then, there will be moments that leave you scratching your head, but careful viewing helps. With its many bizarre scenarios and an increasingly strange central plot, the show's bizarreness can feel a bit overwhelming at times. After carefully watching the first season, I was interested enough to continue with the second. Unfortunately, that's where it all fell apart for me. The story becomes utterly preposterous, and I lost so much interest that I could barely make it to the end. You'll either love it or hate it—there's really no middle ground with this one. See more Fantastic O @Fantastic1 May 14, 2026 I really loved this show and i wish they would make a 3d season i was so sad after discovering there is no other season 😢 See more Read all reviews
