I liked season 1, but season 2 turned into an endless puzzle box. I bailed out at episode 5 near the beginning. I dislike things like this - things that just happen and happen without purpose or clarity. In all drama there needs to be some feeling of moving towards closure. Instead, this just seems to telegraph no interest in resolution - as if it will never reach a quiesce point.

First of all, I truly don’t understand why have such hate in their reviews and start calling people names for enjoying a show. I know it’s called Rotten Tomatoes, but you don’t have to BE rotten. It’s just a show — chill !!
In any case, like many, I truly enjoyed this show. I understand that it might not be everyone’s favorite, but that’s the beauty of having different interests! If you enjoy deep thinking, psychological shows about other dimensions, this is the show for you! I will say I think I liked the first season better, but maybe that’s just because I felt more connected to the characters all being in the same dimension together. And the setup was so interesting! I thought the ending was good, but I would’ve liked more of a satisfying ending for HAP. That’s just me hating when murderers and abusers win, though.
If you end up watching it, I hope you enjoy it! And if you don’t, realize that not everyone is like YOU !!

Personally I struggled through the first season. I was intrigued by the story, but the storytelling was wonky and incoherent. The second is so much better. I wish we would have gotten at least a third season.

Season two is really good, on a much grander scale than season one. I prefer season one, but season two is really great. I do think season two could’ve been longer to flesh the storylines out more. Unfortunately, there is a season three set up that we won’t get to see. Overall, this show is phenomenal and 100% worth watching.

A Mind-Bending Masterpiece: The OA Season 2 Soars Beyond the Unknown:
The OA's second season is an utterly mesmerising dive into uncharted storytelling, turning the slow-burn brilliance of its first season into a fully realised, multi-dimensional narrative. After binge-watching both seasons over the last two days, it’s clear that what began as a tantalising mystery has evolved into a truly daring and genre-defying work of art.
Where the first season felt like an ambitious, albeit slightly experimental, pilot episode, the second elevates the entire series. With a larger budget and more narrative complexity, The OA transforms its moments of deliberate absurdity into intricate, carefully plotted storylines that challenge and reward the viewer. It’s a series that boldly asks: “How far are you willing to stretch your imagination?”
The beauty of The OA lies in its ability to achieve so much without resorting to the usual sci-fi pomp. It doesn’t rely on flying cars, magic spells, or over-the-top action scenes. Instead, it builds a world of wonder and excitement through meticulous plot development, emotionally resonant performances, and a profound sense of curiosity.
Special recognition must go to the creators, Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, for crafting something that defies conventional genres while remaining emotionally grounded. They deserve a standing ovation for their uncompromising vision. Equally deserving of praise is the cast, who fully commit to their roles, embodying the show’s peculiar energy with sincerity and depth.
The second season’s conclusion is both satisfying and tantalising, leaving you with a sense of closure while still hungry for more. In many ways, that is The OA’s ultimate trick—it answers enough to keep you hooked, but always leaves you questioning what’s real, what’s possible, and what could come next.
If you're looking for sci-fi that dares to be different and isn’t afraid to break the rules, The OA is an unforgettable experience.
