Oasis

It's hard to rate a pilot on a star system but I gave Oasis a 10/10 because it is one of the best pilots I've watched, it was effective and it left me wanting more.

The opening credits are astounding (as is the opening song). Richard Madden gives another wonderful performance as Peter Leigh, with more layers to explore with his character.

Haley Joel Osment is very likable as Sy, a botanist who is more intelligent then he is getting credit for.

Anil Kapoor plays a leader well as Vikram Danesh, Antje Traue has a strong presence as security officer Sarah Keller. Zawe Ashton, Maureen Sebastian and Michael Shaw all give performances that make you want to see more of their characters.

This one is a winner Amazon, please make a season or seasons out of it. Good acting/directing/effects/and great use of location. Hope we see more from Oasis!

You cannot fully judge a book by its cover, or a series from its Pilot, yet it shows incredible promise. Richard Madden displays in yet another show how good of an actor he really is, most of the surrounding cast is on par, and immediately you feel there is depth to the characters they play.

The plot appears plausible and realistic, the scifi elements are well thought out, complemented by good cgi and very good directing. It feels like a spiritual successor to Earth II, only better in every way, and more complete.

There are some bits of acting I dislike and some parts where I found the plot lacking, with as much of the story not being revealed its entirely possible my opinion will change.

Nice project but why are you waiting? Waiting Impatiently.

Loved the pilot! Fantastic ground work, room for extravagant growth , moves at a nice pace with no holes in the story, defiantly leaves you wanting more. The cast is a mix of several ethnicities, adding depth and dynamic to the show. I am not a "Sy-Fy" fan-but this has a perfect balance "sy-fy", reality and futuristic qualities, with out making you want walk away. No CGI (if there is, I can't tell) great selection for filming location. Really hope they "run" with this show, a lot of potential to be a in the high 8's possibly 9's. Highly Recommended!

Very good pilot episode of what could turn out to be the next big series from Amazon Studios.

"Set in the near future, Oasis tells the story of priest Peter Leigh, who is called to a remote planet where a mysterious multinational company is building the first permanent off-Earth human colony."

Religion is no stranger to science fiction. I've always preferred my science fiction to have religious elements in small doses, if at all. OASIS unites the two with the main character being a priest but it's handled well and is still firmly within the realm of science fiction. Really good science fiction with shades of Lem and Tarkovsky's SOLARIS, mysterious and surreal...that's a good thing.

Hard to tell from just the pilot if this one will have the legs to keep on running but, if you like well-made science fiction and have access to this pilot episode, do yourself a favor and check it out. Everything clicks including a great soundtrack. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this one.
