The OA

The second season is better than the first. I felt the first season was a bit drawn out. The second season had me riveted for the entire run. Excellent premise, acting, and camera work. Hopefully, a third season is on the docket.

I am honestly besides myself about all of this. I watched this a few months ago and ended up deeply enthralled in this storyline and was so confident that there would be a 3rd season. I was honestly so convinced that there would be a 3rd season that I never even considered the fact that it could even be canceled. Needless to say, I was shocked the other day when I heard the news that Netflix decided to cancel The OA. One of the most interesting stories out there and they decide to cancel? And not only was it interesting, but it was also insanely innovative, well done, and likely an actual original concept (never before thought of and/or executed) story that transcended both mind and space? And they decide to cancel?

I don't know why they always cancel the best and most intriguing shows. It's very irritating. This was refreshing and unique. They keep garbage stuff around. I really liked this show and was looking forward to more seasons.

This should not be permitted to happen. This is the second time I have begun a promising series only to find out it is unfinished. If we went to a theater and two-thirds of the way through the movie the lights came on and there was an announcement, "Sorry folks, we decided not to finish this" we'd demand a refund. Unfortunately, I've already invested 10+ hours I cannot get back. There ought to be a law. Netflix is misrepresenting their product and I feel cheated and betrayed. From now on I will not begin a series until I know that it is completed. It's bad enough that I've waited as much as 5 years for the next or final episodes to be released, but to find that the entire program has been abandoned won't happen again to this unhappy subscriber.

The music, suspense, drama, mystery, and horror of this show was enough to make me so invested in it and care for every character (except the bad ones who are in it for their own gain). Emotional and extremely compelling, especially the first season. Brit Marling shined wonderfully.
