gotcha.
There are just so many plot holes.
The system that Hollywood has created for movie scripts and tv scripts writing is largely throw out the window with Netflix. From what I've heard Netflix will give a series based off an idea especially if they like the stuff you have done in the past.
In most of Hollywood with movie scripts the amount of iterations that they go thru is massive. By time a movie has the green light, so many people have read it and given notes that any plot hole would have been pointed out to them multiple times. Same goes for writers of tv series, they usually write the plot then they have a room of writer to help write and go over the rest of the season.
With Netflix the idea is pitched, they are told to write the whole first season and then they go into production. I bet the OA season 1 was written almost solely by Brit Marling then went straight into production.
You heard of the large budget Netflix shows even writing the 2nd season of the show before Netflix even releases the 1st or has confirm there is a 2nd season. I read the lost in space writers were already into season 2. It's all about the production cycle for Netflix, they are willing to pay the writers to keep writing so they can make sure the next season is on track to come out next year.
