t h e O A

The OA comes from creators Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, the quirky indie team —she co-writes and stars, while he co-writes and directs— behind Sound of My Voice and The East. Neither film was a hit, but they're both smart, vaguely chilly movies composed of big ideas, a certain formal claustrophobia and, for me at least, resolutions that lack the confidence of their initial hooks. As befits the theme of both movies, they require the audience to infiltrate a foreign world and then they rely on a dose of Stockholm Syndrome to coast to the end.

Hopefully, that's a good enough sense of the Marling/Batmanglij style for me to tell you that The OA plays as a long form continuation of their film work, even if you've never seen their movies.
The serie teaches you what has happened to your main characters, Prairie Johnson, who had been

missing for seven long years through which she has gone through incredible things and been able to regain her vision by giving a complete change to her life.  

There really is not much to say about the cast, as they are not really known, and have not acted in many works and the works in which they have had the opportunity to work are too rare to find therefore they have not had the critics they deserve.

The OA, one of the most controversial programs created between review creators and popular commentators, is an original netflix series which features a season and 8 episodes. It is a series that I personally loved, I felt that it was a little more chapters to complete the total desarorllo but it was still good.
