Summary
Reviewers say 'Oasis' receives mixed reactions, highlighting its intriguing premise, strong performances, and high production values. The blend of religion and science fiction, atmospheric direction, and compelling characters are praised. However, criticisms include plot inconsistencies, clichéd elements, and underdeveloped characters. Some express disappointment with deviations from the source material and question long-term success. Despite concerns, there is hope among fans for improvement.
Featured reviews
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.

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.

Really liked the pilot of Oasis the show on Amazon. I would like Amazon to produce the entire season 1. Has this show already been a series in UK? If so is there another way we can view the whole of season 1 in the USA. I thought the pilot was intriguing and the last scene leaves many questions which would be great to explore in a full show, not just a pilot
