Before imagining the whodunit A Murder at the End of the World on Disney+, the duo of showrunners Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij offered Netflix subscribers the series The OA.
What is it about ?
Prairie Johnson reappears after seven years of absence. Disappearing suddenly, the child was blind; when she returns, she is no longer. What could have happened to him? This is what those around him, science and even the FBI will try to discover.
What happens to us after death?
Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij. You probably don’t know the names of these two showrunners who are in the news today with A Murder at the End of the World, a whodunit in 7 episodes that we’re talking to you about here, broadcast weekly on Disney+. But before having Emma Corrin lead the investigation in this futuristic thriller, the two screenwriters gave us a little nugget in 2016 that we have had a hard time forgetting since.
There are those productions that stick with you – whether it’s a scene, a dialogue, a song – and The OA is one of them. This series, canceled after two seasons by Netflix, raises several metaphysical, religious and human questions, with a lot of poetry. It is Brit Marling herself who slips into the skin of the heroine.
Without going into too much detail to avoid spoiling too much, The OA is an experience to live – both visually and aurally. She will take you on a little journey, guided by her captivating narration. We warn you, to watch this series, you have to be open to everything. To life after death, to the existence of angels, to travel through the stars or even to parallel realities.
The OA is a series free to interpret, so theories abound on the internet. In any case, Netflix subscribers fell under its spell a few years ago, praising its originality and high quality. With a rating of 4/5, it is one of the best series on the platform. Another reason to start binge-watching the 16 episodes available.
