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
So the studios and providers throw money hand over fist at remakes of old TV shows but something like this which had the potential to be so much more gets left behind. How many friken superman or batman movies can they make before we all die of boredom with shows and films that barely have a plot.
Don't miss this and just imagine what it could have been.

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.

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

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!
