Oasis

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!

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!

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.

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!

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
