The OA: Angel of Death
March 23, 2019 8:06 PM - Season 2, Episode 1 - Subscribe
While private eye Karim Washington scours San Francisco for a missing teen who was involved in a cryptic game, OA wakes up in unfamiliar surroundings.
I just now finished my binge if anyone would like to start a full season thread.

This has a lot of promise. I'm not invested in the plot details of what Karim is up to yet, but this show's strength is in the emotional beats, and there's some promise there.
That ending made it hard to not immediately start the next one. Awful if she's immediate back under Hap's control - we'll see how that goes. I did really like alt!Homer's reaction when she knew his name - confusion, worry, then realization and acceptance of the nametag explanation. He played it well.
Mostly I'm just excited to be back.

I really hope this season ends with a flash mob dance that sends all of San Francisco to another planet.

Finally watched this first episode, I look forward to joining the full-season thread eventually, though probably not this weekend. I thought this was a really promising beginning; back when they announced there was going to be a second season I couldn't imagine how they could write themselves out of the S1 ending in any satisfying way, but this felt like the mix of emotion + bonkers that made me love S1.

This show is so gloriously bonkers... and relentlessly inventive. It really deserves more praise if just for those two things. I'll watch it slowly, frankly, but look forward to seeing where it goes.

just watched the first 2 eps of S2 last night and I cannot wait to continue. I'm really liking the intricacy of the game/house/mind/multiverse parallels.
