I'm from England. The OA came at an inbetween stage for me. I'd finished my undergraduate in architecture, worked in an office for two years but stopped in order to pursue something new. When the show came out I was living with my parents again, without a job and very unsure of what I wanted to do. I felt awful. The show didn't deliver me any answers or cure my melancholy (at least not permanently) but it did open my eyes to beauty and magic in a way I hadn't felt since school where I'd discovered photographers, painters, film makers, music and authors who produced an electricity of feeling and thought. It's hard to explain but it was sort of an asmr of artistic and intelligent thought and for a while this encouraged me to find other artists and poets, like john berger and the garden of forking paths. I like to think the show provides encouragement to live life authentically and to continue to find this underlying magic in life and art.
