Y'all just saved me. I was considering watching OA, even after reading the synopsis, but the Jessica's courage has spared my eyeballs.
Cheers for that.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I just watched the 1st ep of The OA. When the opening credits played I thought, "Wow! They just outdid Alias!"
I may never stop laughing if the 5 sit and listen to a story for the entire season.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
DH and I finished the whole thing last night, and I genuinely have no idea how I feel about it. It's impossible to mock the twists (SO MANY TWISTS) because each one is preceded by an earnest reminder that this story SOUNDS CRAZY but ACTUALLY ISN'T and JUST GO WITH IT.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I tried Black Mirror or Dark Mirror? whatever. 1st ep was meh. 2nd ep I bailed as soon as a Jillifont appeared.
I am re-watching the Matt Smith Dr. Who's. Never watched them closely because I disliked him so much. But, now he doesn't bother me as much. it was the failing to be as good as Tennant that made him a failure for me. But, a lot happens in the episodes. i think they actually pack more stuff in.

Watching years after the fact I found that I really liked the Ponds (despite Amy sounding like Rose v2.0 on paper), but couldn't stand Smith.

Quester, try the 4th episode, Be Right Back.

I'll give it a shot, aurelia.
Matt, I couldn't stank Amy either, and the intro where she explains her imaginary friend came back is too twee for me. But, I'm catching more stuff this time. They really are complex episodes. And the abundance of River Song is really what drew me back.

move out and draw fire
I watched the first ep of Black Mirror. It was the most misogynist thing I'd seen up until the Trump campaign. It was also implausible.
Haven't watched another one. Won't.

Each episode of Black Mirror really is it's own thing. Be Right Back (S2:E1) and San Junipero (S3:E4) are the most optimistic, but I liked White Christmas (S2:E4) and Hated in the Nation (S3:E6), too. The first ep is it's own distinct horror.
