Dr. David Sweeny on Gnostic Themes in The OA and Other Television

We take a deep dive into one of the most paranormal series in modern times. What are the Occult, philosophical, social, and artistic influences on The OA? How does it depend on Classical Gnosticism? The answers to these questions will lead us to explore similar shows like Sense8, Stranger Things, Twin Peaks, Fringe, and more – as well as delve into the minds of Gnostic-friendly artists like David Lynch, The Wachowskis, Grant Morrison, Michael Moorcock, and Alan Moore. Astral Guest – Dr. David Sweeny, author of The OA (Constellations) and lecturer in The Glasgow School of Art’s Design History and Theory department.
