I’m halfway through episode 4 and loving it. Still an amazing combination of smart, cool and utterly sappy.

It’s a definite improvement on Season 1. Still nuts obviously but I think the writing is sharper.

Karim Washington is a great character.

Good :+1: Report back when you get to the end…

Come back to me at the end of the episode

I think I know why you’re saying this.

I have an inkling that I’m going to meet an interesting character.

#91

I’m there. Absolutely loved it.

Old Night is a babe.

Finished Season 2.

I’m not sure what I thought of the final episode to be honest. What I do know is that I loved the first seven.

Yes, the show has some sappy moments but it also does some very cool things. French’s hook-up being a case in point, I haven’t seen that handled so well in many shows.

I’m starting to wonder if Brit Marling doesn’t have something of a Messiah complex in real life and that it’s spilling on to the screen here. I don’t know.

I want to see more Karim Washington and I understand that he’ll feature in S3. God knows where the show is going next.

:astonished: Could see them making a film to wrap it up

Haven’t gotten around to watching the second series yet (sorry anyone who was hoping for more), presuming from your comment it leaves it open?

Felt a bit weird when it came back, a bit out of place given how much Netflix’s original output has changed in the time since the first series appeared and how ruthless they are with cancellations now.

The ending of the second season is fucking WILD. I quite like the idea of it being left with it as it is somehow.

It’s wild but I definitely wanted them to try to give it a little more structure in a 3rd series. I heard they had 5 planned so I’d hope the 3rd would be where it stops just going out there as much?

#97

Oh wut was I actually one of the few people who enjoyed the last season?

I think lots of people enjoyed it but Netflix don’t seem to care about that. If it’s not driving new subscribers they will cancel it.

#99

Not started season 2 yet and after I read it had been cancelled I wondered whether to bother. I think I’ll still watch it though as I enjoyed season 1 and maybe Prime will pick it up or something (as it did with The Expanse).

Debating whether to rewatch from the start. I remember thinking the first season was kind of slightly a bit too much on the side of New Agey bollocks at times, buuuuut there’s also stuff about it that’s stuck in my mind in a really interesting way, aaaaaaand I soured to it because I watched it with my parents who decided to binge watch it to the point that I was genuinely sick of it and its bizarrely inconsistent episode lengths.

Heard interesting things about season 2, as well.

I think if The OA were in the ‘nails down a chalkboard’ thread then I’d be voting ‘Not Quite’ to cover all the times I almost gave up but found myself just watching one more episode.

#102

No conclusion going to be made apparently. And because it was a Netflix in-house production, no chance of another channel picking out up either…

Shame as this is probably the worst way for our to conclude. Would have been happy if it had ended after the first series with that cliffhanger, but equally I enjoyed the second series very much and wanted to see where they went after THAT cliffhanger. Still, leaving it at that point is one hell of a what if :rofl::+1:

Please do all check out Another Earth if you haven’t already. That’s the film that switched me on to her stuff and talent.

I wonder if Netflix would let them finish it via a graphic novel. I know the Carnivale guys wanted to do that but HBO blocked them, presumably because they don’t want to risk any of their IP getting out of their control.

#105

In all honesty I quite liked where they left it and was happy if that was the ending. It sort of implied that this interdimensional chase was just going to go on forever.

That said I didn’t think they could do much with a second series and that completely surpassed series 1.

Hmmmmm actually s3 was going to be amazing wasn’t it?

Would Sharon Van Etten and Paz Vega all return playing themselves?

Fff

In summary I am sad we do not get more OA.
