The OA Creators: Zal Batmanglij, Brit Marling Like...where do I even? You wonder how high they must have been to actually think of this.

Enfield. Not North London
Dir: James Wan 2016 Let's just start with a couple of basics right here right now. Enfield is in EN which therefore means its not in London, can I get there by tube? Is it in zones 1-4?
