Season 1 of The OA focused on Prairie Johnson ’s (Brit Marling) return to society after she went missing seven years ago — also seven years ago, she was blind. Staged across eight episodes, loosely an hour each, The OA ’s first season unfolded a mysterious, dazzling, and often baffling story that somehow blended the Russian mob, angels, a scientifically.
After the megasuccess of this summer’s Stranger Things, Netflix is giving sci-fi fans another look into the unknown with The OA, the new series debuting Friday. But while Stranger Things crossed over and became a surprising delight thanks to its open-hearted embrace of ‘80s genre conventions, The OA’s oddity tends, over the course of eight episodes, to read as pretension. It’s a winter binge suited for die-hards, but the viewer who needs a boost (character development, clear storytelling) to enter an imagined world will find the series a tough sit.The Oa Plot Summary Season 2
It’s difficult to summarize the plot. Part of that is the show’s dependence on surprise; part is that so much of the show’s story moves from incredible to just plain not credible, and putting it into print, or even thinking it through, diminishes it. In brief: Prairie (Brit Marling, the independent-film actress and writer who co-created this series) has been returned home to her adoptive parents after a lengthy absence, during which she has somehow, miraculously, regained the sight she lost in childhood. The show, in flashback, tracks her period of Room-like imprisonment by a monstrous man (Jason Isaacs) who seems to have motives beyond pure sadism; it also follows her coming into a set of powers that seem to extend into the paranormal.
Marling and Isaacs are both strong, as is Emory Cohen, one of Prairie’s fellow inmates in her terrarium-like prison. The scenes in which Marling is interacting with either actor are the series’ best, as in a deeply tense scene during which she feels her way around a kitchen to make a sandwich for her captor, pushing through her inability to see in order to prove her value as a prisoner. In these scenes, the strangeness of Prairie’s situation is given tight, rigorous focus—the sort of control that imagination needs in order to keep from losing its balance. Outside captivity and in the present day, The OA is burdened with too many characters (including The Office’s Phyllis Smith, ably pushing against the limits of an underwritten role) working sometimes against each other and sometimes in concert. They are pushing toward a goal that’s confusingly opaque, until, with a thuddingly unsatisfying conclusion, it’s revealed all at once. Scenes with Prairie’s parents coming to terms with what their daughter suffered are, as they were in the movie Room, emotionally wrenching. But here, they’re surrounded by impenetrable interdimensional dross (in episodes that are frankly too long). And so they come to feel like manipulation, reminders to jolt the audience rather than expressions of curiosity about Prairie’s plight or ways to build out her world.
What Marling and co-creator (and frequent movie collaborator) Zal Batmanglij have created is a work that’s so enraptured with TV’s potential to endlessly embroider—pushing deeper and deeper into a mythology that may not be fully thought-out—that it neglects the basics in a way a film cannot, really. Each episode seems to kick the can a little further, procrastinating on meaningful insight. The things on The OA that work, like Isaacs’ and Marling’s toxic chemistry, cast into relief just how little the stuff in the present day, with Marling serving as a tutor of sorts on the mysteries of the universe to her team of cosmic avengers, has been thought-through. Alternately lugubrious and rushed, the revelation of Prairie’s imprisonment and her powers has more in the way of shock value (wow, they’re actually doing this?) than meaning or artistic nourishment.
It’s worth remarking on the show’s unique release schedule. Netflix announced The OA’s release only a few days in advance and with the barest-bones level of detail, as close as any television broadcaster has come in recent years to dropping a genuine surprise series and “pulling a Beyoncé” without actually pulling a Beyoncé (give or take the HBO broadcast of Lemonade). The strategy makes life a bit more exciting for TV fans but does little more than that—ultimately, the show is the show, and will be watched by people on Friday or two years from now. Judged outside the excitement of this week, The OA has some great sci-fi elements, but it fails to transport to another dimension in the way the best—and most carefully, thoughtfully made—art can.

Summary
Episode 7, “Nina Azarova” is not the best penultimate episode to a series, but it does provide a defining twist to lead on to the finale.
This recap of The OA Season 2 Episode 7, “Nina Azarova”, contains spoilers. You can read the recap of the previous episode by clicking these words.
The episode title gives it away. In Chapter 7, Prairie Johnson (Brit Marling) is trying to tap into the consciousness held in her body, Nina Azarova. Throughout the series, plenty of hints have been dropped that Nina holds the key to Prairie’s answers. Struggling to find out how to extract Nina is answered in the nightclub SYZYGY. There the woman who calls herself the Messenger and has had dealings with Dr Hap (Jason Isaacs) tells Prairie that she needs him in her life.
As you can imagine, this is hard for Prairie to follow. Dr. Hap abused her for several years, but the Messenger explains that Prairie, Homer and Dr. Hap are inter-dimensionally entwined, and to break the cycle would be dangerous. There is a sole purpose that all three of them are involved in each other lives, which has accelerated each timeline they have witnessed. The Messenger ends the conversation stating that Prairie needs to tap into Nina Azarova’s consciousness and integrate. And the only way she can do that is by giving her the same near-death experience she had when she was younger.
Meanwhile, Dr. Hap seems to have a change of attitude since his recent experiences. He tells Steve Winchell (Patrick Gibson) that he will be discharged while Renata (Paz Vega) has to give her time to adjust. Steve tries to call his bullshit, but Dr. Hap is adamant, and also wants Steve to do one last mission for him. Steve agrees on the basis that Renata is discharged as well.
Dr. Hap sends Steve to the underground of the house, helping him get through the puzzles. “Nina Azarova” demonstrates the heights of Dr. Hap’s manipulation as he knows full well that Steve will not get through the house; he collapses, and Dr. Hap brings him to the laboratory and extracts that green lace organism again like he did at the start of Season 2. This time, he eats it, and it looks like his world has been widened.
Karim Washington (Kingsley Ben-Adir) and Prairie argue about their objectives. Karim at this stage is still in denial about what he has witnessed up until this point and does not buy the story that Prairie has come from another dimension. Prairie gives him a USB stick that holds a video of Michelle up at the glass window in the house and visits his data analyst friend regarding the information, who was also going through labor and was about to deliver a baby.
Karim, at this point, is confident that he is going to close out the investigation and visits Pierre Ruskin (Vincent Kartheiser). Karim questions his morality over the game, but Pierre is unphased, giving the perspective that many people died getting the first man on the moon, but once they saw Earth it enlightened people to how much of a miracle it was – an overview he calls it. He takes Karim upstairs in his classy manor to show Michelle in bed. The mother claims it is not Michelle, but Karim is impatient and walks away.
Pierre catches him and gives the most critical reveal in Episode 7. He explains that there was a fourth vision from the dreams experiments, not three. It was a man. To find out what this man looked like, they got expert artists to draw what they describe. Pierre shows the drawings, and all of them look like Karim. It seems that Nina’s house wants Karim. It’s almost like Prairie has become secondary to the story.
As “Nina Azarova” closes out, Prairie attempts to drown herself in the bath, hoping it brings out Nina. It does, and the chapter ends with her confidently walking, and talking with a Russian accent.Oa Plot Summary
