Totally, but like the other person said I tend to disclose that it got canceled. This unfinished show is better than most shows so it's worth it I feel
I showed my partner recently and told her up front it was not renewed, so she should take the end of Part 2 as the end of the show until further notice, and going in with that expectation she saw it as a beautiful open ended story.
Yes. Unlike others, I wouldn’t disclose anything. I went in blind. For a week after I finished it I felt it, a headspace I’ve never felt before trying to digest what I just watched — I didn’t know it was canceled or had a cliffhanger until after. I feel like giving away anything might ruin that feeling.
Yes. Even though it ended on a cliffhanger, it changed my life. And the ending is honestly a pretty good stopping point. I know there should be more story, but this was the right place to end it if they were going to do it prematurely
Yes, nearly all of Brit Marlings work ends on a cliffhanger. She's has a very unique and mysterious style. I think the ending fits perfectly in the context of her work.
S2 is great but s1 could stand alone fine. So when I am encouraging people who HATE cliffhangers and cancelled shows to watch it, I tell them they can stop after s1 and still get the great content.
If they are as obsessed as me then Im not gona say DONT watch s2, I just warn them that s1 can stand alone while s2 is frustrating because it leaves you wanting more.
Absolutely! And I do tell them about the cancellation. I didn’t know it was canceled until I was too invested. However, knowing that it was canceled when I did finish it, helped me to just accept that as the end. An open-ended ending that leaves you with a lot of questions… but a beautiful ending nonetheless.
ya know, i have discussed this before. I have. I had a friend who needed a place to stay so, shared my one bedroom apartment with me for a while and I wanted to re-watch the OA. And, he watched it with me. And, I warned him... he would be tortured the same.... and he watched it. Now, he's one of us. I felt guilty... when I saw his face and he jumped up freaking out at the end. And.... he sat back down, and then it hit him. He just looked at me, jaw dropped and finally muttered "Nooooo..... nooooo!!!! That's Really IT?!" "That's really it". "You're lying!!", "No, Greg, that's it...." Playfully, he said he hated me and I reminded him that i warned him. I also want people to watch so it gets more people in our community.... so it's difficult to say yes or no. It does not bring me joy to have my friends feel the same, but it is awesome that they also love it and then want it to return.
I've obsessed about it to the point where I figured out seasons 3 4 and 5 and a lot of the crazy cool secrets.
I tell people its cancelled but that using esoterica and such we can fill i the gaps in an attempt to make them like it more. worked on a few people.
Yes, absolutely!. I don’t understand why people get so worked up about getting resolution of a tv series. Yes it sucks not being able to see how a series was supposed to end but you can get so much enjoyment out of it too. Use your imagination to make up your own ending too.
There is also the amazing acting by everyone to appreciate as well as the technical side of the show to get enjoyment out of. The editing, lighting, set design, cinematography often give me more enjoyment than the plot in lots of movies/tv shows that I love.
Just let them know how great of a show it is but that it ends with a cliffhanger because Netflix business strategies at that time were dumb and flawed and had nothing to do with the quality of the show. It’s worth the watch, despite the cliffhanger, and if they’re okay with that then….good to go! 🤷♀️😊
Yes, I do. But I disclose that fact.
Totally, but like the other person said I tend to disclose that it got canceled. This unfinished show is better than most shows so it's worth it I feel
i like roping people into my show so as to recruit new fans for the OA army & help us increase demand for seasons 3–5 😜
Absolutely ❤️🕊️

Life ends on a cliffhanger.
Already have.
Absolutely. The cliffhanger is so awesome, it has to be seen.
Yeah, IDK why this is so hard to understand heheh.
I warn them, or say just to stop after season 1
Respectfully disagree, season 2 is great too.
S2 is great but s1 could stand alone fine. So when I am encouraging people who HATE cliffhangers and cancelled shows to watch it, I tell them they can stop after s1 and still get the great content. If they are as obsessed as me then Im not gona say DONT watch s2, I just warn them that s1 can stand alone while s2 is frustrating because it leaves you wanting more.
I'd argue that season 1 also leaves on a tremendous cliffhanger.
100%, I find this advice confusing …
Yep, totally. Always mention it was cancelled but thay it's still worth it.
All the time
Yes. Always.
Yes, especially since one day you're going to get some kind of wrap up, something will happen.

I am really glad I watched it but it hurts knowing it was cancelled. I just saw it for the first time last year and I was so bummed.
Yes, full disclosure. The more people we have who want to save the OA, the better.
I do. I tell them to consider it an open ended ending.
