Does it make sense to watch this?


I read it is some sort of a test pilot, so I wonder, in case it will not go on; ~does it have a complete story told, or at least one that makes sense?

Tks

Unfortunately Amazon is much more secretive than Netflix. They tell you about premiere dates sometimes mere weeks ahead of time. I remember The Man in the High Castle aired its premiere in January, with the rest of the first season not showing up until November. Supposedly they're going to abandon this pilot-first strategy. Viewer frustration has convinced them that saving a little money by identifying flops before they lay out the funds for a full season isn't worth the long production delays.

To answer your question, I happen to know Season 1 of Oasis is indeed in production, to be aired sometime later this year or early 2018. They haven't made a final decision regarding the release date yet. I won't say how I know this. A certain person might lose their job. But yeah - if you don't mind waiting a bit to see the rest then go ahead and watch it. If you prefer to binge all the way through, wait until the whole first season drops.

I thought this was a movie ??

Nope. It's a pilot for a series, based on a book - which I haven't read, although several people I know who did read it said the show seems more interesting. Not often you hear that. Usually it's the other way around. If you've watched the pilot, it's an hour long and only begins to reveal the mystery. My friend doesn't know a thing about the show's storyline and I wouldn't want them telling me. Can't wait to see what they do with this premise though!
