The OA, season 2 review: Netflix's weird inter-dimensional soap opera is now even weirder

"Stranger Things but weirder" was the general take on The OA when it dropped from the clear blue yonder in late 2016. Brit Marling’s inter-dimensional soap opera about a blind woman held captive by a mad scientist was a ravishing plunge down the rabbit-hole – beautifully filmed and majestically, unapologetically baffling. 

Bonkers with a vengeance, it duly sent many unsuspecting Netflix subscribers pogoing for cover. But those who reconciled themselves to the riptides of wackiness were pleasantly swept off their feet. They now have an opportunity to be discombobulated all over again as the series returns with a second season that is, if possible, more surreal than the first.
