I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Rarely am I left wanting more from the first episode or pilot, normally a show grows as it progresses but this just blew my mind the mystery of it just left me wanting more!! great cast great scenery great story so far. this could be a BIG show if made and directed as superbly as the pilot it would personally make me subscribe to amazon if I weren't already a subscriberPLEASE MAKE THIS AMAZON!

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.

Absolutely loved this pilot. Please pick this up. Best new show I have watched in a while. Richard Madden was a well found gem in the entertainment industry. From Game of Thrones to Medici. I will follow his work. This has an awesome story line that is easy to get involved in. I want more. I want to know what happens next.

The pilot was awesome. The main character, a cleric, is refreshingly different, somehow distant yet very present. So, not a typical hero figure. The play with light, shadows and darkness is a nice touch, so the world is not so bright as Star Trek for example, but yet not so dark as the alien. Sound effects and score are better than most. The counter-setting with religion and science is interesting. Oasis is one of the better sci-fi titles out there. Hoping to see more.
