maybe I am just getting too old <sigh>

There were things I really liked about the show (almost done with ssn 1), but I found it pretty 'confusing' (mostly from all the 'time jumps' that were not always obvious) ... 'unfocused' and at time =really= 'slow' <sigh>

Start ssn 2 in a few minutes, see if it gets any better <g>

Let us know if it picks up. I started season 1, got through the first episode and just stopped. Not sure why, but I just did not go any further.


Jinkies!

Well it =is= pretty ... confusing <g> Lots of bouncing forward and backward in time, to different 'parallel time lines' often for just a few seconds at a time :-/ So I can certainly understand that it might not work for everyone.

But there =are= enough interesting ideas, things going on that I am still watching.

OA is not a straight-forward story ... it is quirky, odd and has its own very solid mythology.

the issue is that they don't explain the mythology, you just get glimpses of it as the story unfolds.

what i find intriguing about the opening to Season 2 is that it pulls off an interesting twist. The season 1 final episode could be explained in two ways:

a) Prairie is telling the truth and all the mystical things are real

b) Prairie is a cloud cookoolander who is living in a fantasy world, the movements only confused the shooter in a bizzare WTF moment, and then she got herself shot by accident.

Of course there's no "familiar" faces at the start of the second season.

The season two opening is OMG ... Prairie was right ...
