The title of this review completely summed up my feelings about season 1 of The OA back when I binge-watched it in the span of a single evening. I just finished season 2 and still feel the same. I completely understand why anyone wouldn't like it - I feel like I shouldn't like it, but I love it. Already can't wait for season 3.
Yup. They decided it was a good time to stop. He lost his 2 yo son last year and with Carrie Fisher passing, it felt like the show was difficult.
they definitely wrapped it up nicely.
agreed. it's a nice metaphor or allegory for their particular situation. related note, while the show is funny, i always felt like they left jokes and plots on the table. there was always a B plot to any episode - usually giving a sense of the world they live in - but often only made a half-hearted attempt at doing anything with it. the show was about their relationship but their working lives felt like a comedic tease often enough.
the first season had potential then it went completely and totally off the rails at the end. Worst ending in the history of shows. The writers just didnt know how to close things up. The dance at the end was the most cringe worthy thing I think I ever witnessed on a television set
I'll watch the 2nd season of OA, after all NCAA, about a dozen other shows on my watch list, a few books, GoT final season annnnd your compiled eat-n-works.
Honestly, Nick - I'm not trying to harsh the OA.
But I think you can and you should! It’s bananas. And that’s why I had to tune in immediately.
My feelings are ... You shouldn't go into watching movies like Dirt expecting Oscar worthy performances.. A movie like Dirt is to be watched to enjoy the time period, the music and the outright amazement that some of these guys are still alive. Just grab a bag of
and enjoy it for what it is.
I get it, The Dirt is a different animal, but I think it's a snowball effect for me after stuff like Triple Frontier, Birdbox, etc.. that have decent people attached to them but are pretty bad movies. I give The Dirt a little more of a pass, but looking at the overall product of movies that Netflix attaches their name to and it's not good. I think a normal movie studio would have gone under pumping out these turds by now, but it doesn't phase them because they have guaranteed eyeballs since it's a subscription plan.My feelings are ...

On Triple Frontier.. I had higher expectations based on the cast and the previews and was disappointed. Dragged at many parts, some really "Why the Bleep would they even think of doing that" moments. At best I'd give it a 2 out of 5.
we gave up on Triple Frontier... just didn't pull us in enough to finish.
I'd hesitate to recommend it to anyone because objectively it's so ####### dumb. You will find yourself rolling your eyes frequently; if I tried to explain it, it would sound like a disaster. But there's something about it I just love, and I've heard that kind of sentiment echoed by many others. It's like it's so committed to its vision that you can't help but go along for the ride.
I don't remember S1 ep1 and whether it took more than that to get the overall vibe.I'd hesitate to recommend it to anyone because objectively it's so ####### dumb.

I'd say watch the first episode all the way through and then decide for yourself whether to keep going.
You definitely won't get the full essence of the OA in the first episode (I just remember that it had the longest cold open in history) but I think you'll get enough to know whether you want to bail or keep going.
I just remember that there was a high school hook up scene right out of the gate.
I might suggest 3 episodes but I think you pretty much have to commit to season 1 or why bother.
For me it got better with ep 4 and continued until the last 2 eps. But I loved DD and liked JJ better then Cage
For me-If DD was only meh for you, then you may not be a fan...DD was the best Marvel series...Jessica Jones S1 is also great
Luke Cage was very good for the first half of S1...
i really liked JJ S2, but not everybody agrees
Iron fistwas the weakest entry
I'm with you, both were bad but at the least the Crue movie had decent music and ####.
Same here. Love Netflix for the series (a lot from other networks I never caught) but the movies are very underwhelming (being generous).
