Sea Oak

I wish Amazon would make more of this! Not seen such a unique show in years! Dark, sad & funny!

An incredible pilot , with Glenn Close embracing the insanity of her role and with Jane Levy , Rae Gray and Jack Quaid seeming perfectly casted as the loveable life screw ups Sea Oak grabs you in and makes this 30 minute pilot go by so fast it leaves you begging for the full series.

A bit out-of-the-box in terms of narrative, storytelling pace, mood and genre (is it bleak drama, is it surrealist comedy, is it postmodern horror?), but Glenn Close triumphs! As the pusillanimous Bernie, she evokes the universe from an acting performance that is quiet, understated, and later on, justifiably explosive yet also touching. I would want this developed into a series with all of its quirks, eccentricities and artistic vision intact.

We loved this pilot and can't wait to see future episodes. I sure hope they pick this series up and flush out the story even more. I wasn't expecting that crazy plot twist... never saw it coming and was screaming NOOoooo at the TV when the episode ended. Cannot wait to see what happens next!

The writing and performances in Sea Oak are awesome. The premise is unique and evocative. Glen Close gives a tour de force performance and the supporting cast delivers quirky but fully realized cathartic characters. The relationship between Quaid and Sarah Hay's character as Angela already percolates with future possibilities. And, of course, can't wait to see what Glen Close cooks up for her character's future escapades. Hoping to see many more episodes.
