Brit Marling’s drama was one of the most thrillingly strange shows on TV. Now it has been cancelled without getting the chance to finish its ambitious story
We have become used to the endless avalanche of announcements of new shows by
Netflix, but recently it’s the deluge of cancellations that has stopped us in our tracks. Designated Survivor and Santa Clara Diet are gone. Tuca & Bertie, despite receiving much acclaim, has also been given the chop.
Now The OA has been added to the list. The OA! One of the most interesting and thought-provoking shows on television. It may never have felt destined for a mainstream audience, but ask anyone else who got into it like I did and they will tell you that the mystery sci-fi drama created by Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij changed the game in what you thought was possible on television.
