The series tells a powerful, mind-bending tale about identity, human connection and the borders between life and death. Prairie Johnson (Brit Marling), who resurfaces after having been missing for seven years, calls herself The OA, and can see, although she was blind prior to her disappearance.
I haven't seen anything quite like The OA, whose twists were gripping enough to keep me going even in some moments when I'd otherwise have been rolling my eyes.
What's most striking... is the richness of the story. It weaves in such a variety of textures and styles and allusions that it sometimes feels transparently absurd, but it's hard not to be drawn in given the wealth of different objects on offer.
Though it occasionally loses its grip on its lofty material, and skids a little in its narrative chicanes, The OA is quite something to behold: a strange and strangely beautiful thing.
