WTF Is The OA? Netflix Tasks Stranger Things, The Crown and More to Explain
WTF is The OA?
It's a question that has been plaguing viewers since Netflix started
its stealth promotion and subsequent release of the series from and
starring Brit Marling.
What Is The OA?
Is a question we tried to answer for you as well, the befuddling series
has Prairie Johnson (Marling) at the center of it. Prairie is a blind
young woman who disappears for years, only to return with her sight
restored, mysterious scars and a crazy story. That description is just
scratching the surface. Still confused? That's where Netflix comes in,
with the help of its other shows.
The video above features clips from Orange Is the New Black, A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Crown, Black Mirror, Stranger Things and Narcos cut together to explain the gist of the mysterious sci-fi show. However, what they don't tell you, well, spoiler alert—
The OA
stands for the original angel—that'd be Prairie—and Prairie's story
about being held captive with others who all suffered near death
experiences. The series features Prairie relaying her story to some new
followers of sorts who learn the Movements from her, they then use the
Movements (a dance of sorts) to…stop a school shooting. But, naturally
there's a twist, it seems Prairie's story—her Russian background, her
kidnapping, the whole angel deal—could all be a lie. The OA also stars Phyllis Smith, Emory Cohen, Scott Wilson, Alice Krige, Patrick Gibson, Brendan Meyer, Brandon Perea, Ian Alexander and Jason Isaacs. Still don't know what The OA is about? Season one is now on Netflix

"We saw loads of ambulances going up the Strip and I looked at the lads said 'f**k that's a serious crash'. Little did we know at the time," he told the Irish Independent . "Then all the bars and restaurants start closing down. "The next thing I know someone shouted 'gunman' near enough to us so we ran. Everyone scattered, casino chips and all still on the table. Waiters dropped everything. It was scary looking back now." Walsh made it back to his hotel room to find six fearful people hiding there.
DAKAR, Senegal – Boko Haram's ongoing insurgency in northern Nigeria has forced the closure of more than 57 percent of schools in Borno state, leaving about 3 million children without an education as the school year begins, the United Nations Children's Fund said Friday. "Children in northeast Nigeria are living through so much horror," said Justin Forsyth, UNICEF's Deputy Executive Director at the end of a three-day visit to Maiduguri, the epicenter of the crisis in the northeast. "In addition to devastating malnutrition, violence and an outbreak of cholera, the attacks on schools is in danger of creating a lost generation of children, threatening their and the country's future."

Sophie Perry explained on Instagram how she's "received a lot of attention online" following her father's death. "Yes I am hurt and sad and crying and beside myself with what happened to my dad," she wrote.
