The show was announced back in 2015 but right up until now all we’ve known about the show is out ‘late 2016’. The genre shows have excelled in 2016 and with the likes of Westworld and Stranger Things finished this series might just fill the gap as well wait for season 2 aforementioned shows.Netflix has taken a slightly different approach to the promotion, teasing with little mysterious conundrums, short snippets of video. It feels the less we know about this the more captivating the series will be. Netflix might have a lot of Marvel Comic Book heroes tv shows and shows might be seen ‘mainstream’, The OA is a sign they want to cater also for those who enjoy something a little more sophisticated and arthouse.
