The first two episodes of the Netflix original series The OA introduce audiences to an unusual young woman named Prairie (Brit Marling). Reappearing after a seven-year absence, the oddest thing about Prairie isn’t that she doesn’t wish to discuss where she’s been with her parents or the FBI but the fact that when she disappeared she was blind and now she can see. “Homecoming” has an awful lot of set-up as Prairie returns home, makes a few new friends in the high school bully Steve (Patrick Gibson), his teacher (Phyllis Smith), and three other lost souls who, along with Steve, come to an abandoned house to hear Prairie’s story.
