Did anyone else laugh out loud at the movements? Looked like Twyla Tharp choreography.

Thanks.
A lot of information about the show in that site.
Another link from that site.

LOL! Different kind of shows I say.
Yes! That's a great theory.
Counterpoint could say that we don't know how much time passed since she was found. So maybe she learn to read English in that time. That's a big stretch of course. Can she be teaching the group, trying to contact her friends and learn to read English at the same time? Maybe she's a genius and could learn really fast.
Anyway, I like the above theory from the site.

The ending of Netflix’s surprise-release psychological thriller The OA makes Westworld look like a simple, clear story.
1. The FBI therapist planted those books to discredit her story.
Many fans are positing that the books French (Brandon Perea) discovers (Homer’s Iliad,The Oligarchs, a book on Near-Death Experiences) were planted by her FBI therapist Elias Rahim (Riz Amed). There is a large amount of evidence for this theory. First and foremost, his presence skulking around her house at night was awfully suspicious, and previous camera angles implied that Prairie’s gatherings at the abandoned house were being watched. The books also look like they’re in mint condition and unread. It’s also highly doubtful that Prairie can even read English, considering the fact that she was Russian before she went blind.

Just finished it. It was pretty cool and neat. I didn't mind the ending, because I thought they were going to make the kid with gun explode or something - I didn't expect what we got. There's definitely a set up for a second season, so we will have to wait and see what happens.
Those links posted were cool and only highlight the questions, without giving any specific answers. Damn it - I want answers!

I have no idea why I finished this. It's basically two good ideas surrounded by two dozen bad ones and a bunch of indie hipster hyperbole. Poorly paced, poorly written, badly cast, plot holes the size of the Grand Canyon and a very unsatisfying finale.

Simply the worst thing I've watched to completion that I can remember. Usually I bail on poor television, but this was terrible television that tricked me into thinking it was good television. Just enough to keep me interested until the crappiest, most cringeworthy finale I have ever watched.

Still haven't bit on this ... Listened the SlashFilm podcast and one host was a champion of it while one quit after the first episode (don't recall the third one's opinion). That actually intrigues me a bit more ...

Anyone in here also seen The Magicians? I just binged the first season, and these 2 shows feel like they could easily exist in the same universe.

Well, that was... something. You could tell they were stretching their content a little bit to hit the episode quota, it was equal parts terrible, goofy, stupid and intriguing and completely worth watching, analyzing or skipping. The movements were ridiculous.
Maybe I missed something but why was
Anyways, I really want a second season.

I did enjoy the show, but those movements were uncomfortably cringy to watch. I would hesitate to recommend the show based on that alone.

Or maybe they needed to be that silly.

Would NOT recommend. Well filmed, and good actors, can't make up for a silly plot and way too stretched out.
