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.

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 04/18/2019
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 03/29/2019
I wish more television was this unafraid to leave its audience fumbling for understanding. Go to Full Review Jennifer Bisset CNET 04/06/2023
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 10/04/2021

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

Dylan H. @ddubharris Jun 19 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 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 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 Sona S. @PerSona2 May 4 Very Ahead of its time the main actress is one of my favorite people in film. Starts getting kinda off center when eveything all ends they should have more to it how everything connects at the end all the dimensions. See more Mike A @Kriya Mar 8 Ahead of its time. Maybe now is the right time for the story to be concluded. This will make more sense when you're ready to understand it... See more Picards I. @RT99011823 Jan 31 Second only to “The Dark”!
