remembervhs I saw this pilot a while ago when it came out. Afterwards, I noticed that the series is based on a novel by Michel Faber, author of "Under the Skin" (adapted into an interesting art movie).I read "Under the Skin" years ago and enjoyed it. It was an interesting novel: entertaining but interested in discussing big ideas in an accessible manner. I liked it quite a bit, so I picked up "The Book of Strange New Things" (the source material for Oasis).What's the verdict? The novel was very good, but I'm worried about the show. I don't think TV/film should adapt the source material slavishly, but so many plot elements seem to have been removed in the show.-The relationship between the main character in his wife is central to the novel whereas she appears to die in the pilot.-The planet (Oasis) in the novel is humid, with constant rain and an oppressive atmosphere, not a desert. Food is the main concern for the human colonists, not water.-Alien life on the planet is a key element in the novel; the protagonist is brought to Oasis to deal with the aliens, not the humans on the base.Could the series turn out okay? Maybe. But it seems like the more challenging/interesting aspects of the novel have been removed in favor of a more straightforward mystery. That's not a good sign.It's a pity in a way, because I believe the plot of the book would have been suitable for a closer adaptation.

danimilk-41982 Oasis, only with just a pilot we can see that is very good, the cast is awesome and the story make you try to guess what will come, it's very interesting,the way that was build is really complex,the music of opening and how things happen should have more reviews positives because i'ts not any simple story. Is inspired in a book that I will read now. #season complete please.

theredandwhitekey A science fiction, existential, futuristic looking series (haven't read the book) set in a dystopic future(??). What more can I say? All the elements for true fans are there and are very well put together: acting, set design, art direction, directing and soundtrack!! One of those series that makes you think about existence, the human race and what's out there, far far away. When is the godd***** season for goodness sake coming??? c'mon... yalla...been waiting, and waiting, and checking, and waiting... If Amazon needs feedback, you definitely have it by now: Please green- light this series and do it fast!

ati-szlado Well, this was great. I just realized this show does exist. It took me half a day to finally give it a chance. Why did I start to watch it? Yesterday, I talked with a friend of mine about TV shows, and I got to realize I haven't seen a colonization film for some time. Interstellar was a long time ago, and the possibilities were there to take. I just started to play with Telltale's Game Of Thrones. I did put the two not so similar topics, and what did I get? Robb Stark on an other planet. Damn. That's my luck. About the show itself: Looks so great. The Visuals, the settings, the actors, and of course, the STORY. I researched for a tiny little bit. I won't spoil it for you: it has it's risk. Are we ready to watch a TV show about it? Let's find out. I'll give it a chance, for sure.
