	Author	Review
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[2nd Season Review]: [It] remains willfully confounding at every turn and is still capable of conceptual fits so head-scratchingly audacious that I'm able to admire and laugh at them at the same time"	NEU
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"[2nd Season Review]: Doubling down on crazy, Brit Marling’s Netflix opus plays to its strengths (...) Even when annoyances surface (...) 'The OA' proves hard to resist"	POS
United Kingdom	Ed Power Telegraph	"[2nd Season Review]: The results feel like a kinder, gentler 'Twin Peaks' (...) A show that, if you can attune yourself to its batty frequencies, delivers an experience like nothing else on screen (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Jack Seale The Guardian	"[2nd Season Review]: Events, characters and half-formed ideas are thrown at the screen then abandoned in favour of fresh mysteries, the show infinitely rolling out a carpet of kookiness (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Haleigh Foutch Collider	"[2nd Season Review]: A show that’s bigger, bolder, and ultimately better (...) There’s nothing else like this on TV (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Rosie Fletcher Den of Geek	"[2nd Season Review]: [Marling] is never less than captivating (...) 'The OA' is one of the most interesting new shows on Netflix."	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"One of the Year’s Most Important Films (...) Of all the ways Netflix's 'The OA' might blow your mind, what it means for cinema — and the future of narrative storytelling — is the most exciting."	POS
United States	Jen Chaney Vulture	"The show’s surprise arrival also mirrors the show’s narrative approach, which is dazzling in its insistence on avoiding straight lines and favoring hairpin turns (...) The whole experience is so absorbing that I now regret having made my top TV shows of 2016 list so early."	POS
United States	Clark Collis Entertainment Weekly	"The result an impressive and enthralling yarn, which makes you hope that its star will not herself be missing from our screens (...) for too long."	POS
United States	Sonia Saraiya Variety	"'The OA' tries and fails to deliver on its mysterious premise (...) [It] is fascinating and adventurous, both with formal limitations like episode runtime and narrative experimentation."	NEU
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"A failed, but not wholly worthless, experiment in TV auteurism."	NEU
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"'The OA' is one of the most significant shows of the year simply because Marling and Batmanglij barrel through so many boundaries, stretch their combined imaginations so far and challenge the shopworn precepts of what is supposed to make an acceptable television series."	POS
