Featured reviews
This was originally on Amazon Prime as a Pilot program, users were asked to rate it so Amazon could decide whether to continue with the series. Over 1500 viewers voted it as a 5 out of 5, and yet, Amazon didn't pick it up! Why? I have no idea. I kept writing to customer service asking WHEN tge series would continue,but got no information. Then, after a long time on a Amazon with NO more esisodes, it disappeared, along with all the reviews and ratings. Is it good as a stand alone "movie?" No, but it WAS a terrific pilot. Amazon really disappointed a lot of Prime members by not following through with the series!

Finally I thought, a different series that isn't a clone of other series. Great story, great cast etc. Come on amazon, get it made already! It ain't as if you can't afford it and you are producing other shows which are simply crap so get rid of them and do this properly and you just might start edging in with the big boys ie. netflix, Disney etc etc
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

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!
