The OA

HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: streaming on Netflix

In The OA Part II, we discover that Brit Marling’s heroine Prairie (a.k.a. “the OA”) has successfully transferred her consciousness to another dimension. It is an alternative universe where, as the Netflix show’s just-released trailer strongly hints, Barack Obama was never president. “It’s like, ‘What does it mean that the nurse who first treats OA has never even heard of Barack?” says executive producer Zal Batmanglij. “It means that he never ran, you know? So, it’s like, these alternative histories, we touch on it and move on. For us, that’s fun.”
