Surprisingly, the ending of season 2 almost works as a finale for the whole series. Still, Marling and Batmanglij have the real conclusion tucked away somewhere.

In announcing her departure from politics, Ms Cusack said: 'The idea that being a flood victim in a National Party-held seat makes you more worthy than a flood victim who is in the Richmond electorate...

The OA comes from longtime creative team Brit Marling (who also stars as Prairie) and Zal Batmanglij. The show feels like the product of buzzing minds excitedly throwing out idea after idea.
