User ratings are lower than Stranger Things, but quite a few people have been saying OA is the better show. If people are making the comparison, people may be starting the series with expectations that are just too high, and thus the lower rating.

It's bonkers. Hard to describe. My friends and I are trying to describe it and it's tough. I loved stranger things too.
Ep 1 is the longest ep and honestly the most disjointed.

Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!
I was scrolling through Netflix earlier and saw OA on there. Read the description, sounds neat. Didn't watch it though because we had already decided what we were going to watch. I was just killing time waiting for her. We'll have to check it out.

Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!
I'm 3 episodes into the 6 episode documentary The Jinx, about Robert Durst. Eerie, well-paced, a good job (except for the inexplicably terrible song under the credits). If you like true crime you'll eat it up, but it also works if you don't care about that at all but you want to explore a deeply unsettling person.

I don't know if this counts as a spoiler, but Durst and his attorneys are now claiming he was high on meth the entire time of filming.

After you're done, make sure you do some Google searches to read all the follow up stories. The series was probably made a couple of years too early.
That was a fun series. The last episode is fascinating.

The wife and I are giving it a shot, but the first episode did not hook us right away like stranger things did.

I'm 3 episodes into it. The first two didn't really have that compulsion-to-complete feel to them the way Stranger Things did, but The OA got me on the third.

The wife and I struggled to agree on anything to watch last night so we ended up settling on "(Dis)Honesty – The Truth About Lies"
It was a fascinating documentary looking at why we lie. Dan Ariely is a very good speaker and he does a great job explaining their experiments, reasoning and results. They also interview people who were caught in lies including Tim Donaghy (The Referee caught gambling on the NBA), a parent caught lying about where she lived to get her kids in a better school, and a guy at MCI caught fudging the books. Check it out on Netflix...

Yes and yes.

It jumps the shark hard when Sorkin leaves after season four. The additions of Alan Alda and Jimmy Smits help out towards the end, but the plot lines involving the original characters never really get back on track.
The first four seasons are outstanding TV, though. And the last three are still better than probably 90% of the drek on TV
Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!
Finished The OA (didn't realize Ep 6 of 8 was only 30 minutes long, so that made it easy to finish up tonight).
There are a few different trains of thought running through my head right now on the ending (actually, the last episode overall). I have the basics of what I think happened, there is one thing I was a little confused about, but it doesn't really change what happened, IMO. However, that thing could also be a major thing, depending on how one interprets what happened.
