Using this to rate the first season of Stand Alone Complex as it's not on here, but I do plan on watching the movie and will make a subsequent review.

The show was pretty good. It expands on all of the characters and the overrarching narrative was really interesting. If you liked the 1995 movie, then you will most likely enjoy this. My only complaint is that while the season is decently split into main narrative episodes and stand-alone episodes, there's a hefty chunk of episodes that were all stand-alone in a row. As someone who enjoyed the Laughing Man arc, it got a little tedious getting 3-4 episodes straight without going back to it.

I'm pretty excited to watch the OVA, I really wonder if any new scenes will get added or if it's merely a compilation of scenes from the show. I'm also worried about what will be removed as there are 12 main narrative episodes which totals to about 5 hours, but the movie itself is nearly 3 so there are bound to be some immense cutting.
