Summary
Reviewers say 'Sea Oak' is a distinctive mix of comedy, horror, and drama, often labeled as black comedy or surrealism. Praised for quirky characters and Glenn Close's performance, the show delves into regret, life's brevity, and human relationships. Many wish for the pilot to become a full series due to its potential and engaging storytelling. However, some criticize its coherence and execution, finding it incoherent or embarrassing.

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!
I wish Amazon would make more of this! Not seen such a unique show in years!
Dark, sad & funny!
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.
Not sure why they're airing this sub-par pilot if they're not going to pick it up and continue the series. Or are they? I hope not! The pilot was all that I could take. Incoherent and a bit embarrassing, particularly for someone as skilled as Glenn Close. What was she thinking??
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.
