Review of The OA

The OA (2016–2019)
3/10
Boring new age yoga BS
3 January 2017
This show is stupid, period. I do have a bit of a prejudice after seeing other Brit Marling junk, but this was a series and I thought I would give it a try. I was hoping it wasn't more of the same crapola, and disappointingly it was just that. Don't waste your time. I find myself disappointed in the human race to see this rated (at the time of this review) at an 8.1. Please people, you need a severe need for a rise in expectations if this rates over a 5. Maybe people are embarrassed they watched the whole 8 painfully, mind-numbingly, boring episodes and rating it over 3 was just their mind trying to justify it, I don't know, whatever.

You might like it if you spend way too much time talking about new age crap, your favorite yoga poses, and other crap most real people don't give two craps about while you sip down your organic pumpkin spiced soy latte. Otherwise, leave it alone. Brit Marling always plays the same new age, ridiculous, cult leader like character in absolutely everything she does and it is just plain annoying more than anything. Give it a rest cupcake!

Oh, I won't give away the ending, but to be honest, it was stupid. I give it 3 stars because it at least will keep you in for 4 or 5 episodes, after that you pretty much have to watch the rest to see what kind of dumb ending is going to pop out of it. So, go ahead, waste your time...
