Sci-fi fanatics rejoice as Severance makes its much-awaited return with season two, though for some aficionados, a mere weekly fix seems hardly sufficient. Fortunately, Apple TV+ offers an array of outstanding science fiction dramas to quell the anticipation, such as Silo and Dark Matter, until Mark S (portrayed by Adam Scott) and his colleagues make their Friday comebacks.
But what about when you look beyond the Apple horizon?. Streaming enthusiasts have been swapping recommendations on series that align with the eerie essence of Lumon Industries — think mysterious thrillers with a tech or supernatural twist. Topping these suggestions is The OA, a two-season Netflix saga from 2016 and 2019, starring and co-created by Brit Marling.
It details the extraordinary journey of a young blind woman who resurfaces after years with newfound sight, entwining her quest to an obsession with life after death. Viewers should be cautioned; Netflix axed The OA after just two seasons, leaving its ardent followers in the lurch with an exasperating cliffhanger.
On Reddit, one dedicated viewer touted The OA as incomparable: "IMHO nothing compares. Wholly unique with nothing else like it or even coming close. Deep and interpretive", reports the Mirror US. "Requires suspension of belief, imagination and an ability to look inward. Go in blind, don't research it. Please trust me on this. Canceled after two seasons, but creators to this day are determined it will come back at some point. (F*** you, Netflix.).
