Thanks for the memories!
... View MoreTerrible acting, screenplay and direction.
... View MoreTells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
... View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
... View MoreCan't see why this didn't get continued after the pilot
... View MoreNot a review but a wish. I really enjoyed the pilot. The acting is amazing, the plot, there is nothing to complain about, attention is not lost and is maintained throughout the episode. It really entertains, which is the main purpose of it. I am totally caught up in the story. I really hope Amazon continues with it. Please give us more. Make it possible.
... View MoreThe 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.
... View More(Review based on the pilot episode only.)There is so much wrong with this rubbish that it's hard to know just where to begin. Within ten minutes you'll want to start punching these feeble minded idiots in the face! Well, I did.Once again TV has a bash at making sci-fi and once again it's a bloody mess. A good looking teenage boy finds God when he meets his wife... God then kills his wife so he becomes a priest. With me so far? So the front cover of Male Fashion Monthly skips to another planet to escape wandering around the soup kitchens of a post-apocalyptic London.When he gets there, people are having hallucinations and dying at an alarming rate. Well, for the viewer it's alarming - nobody on the planet seems to even notice! Eventually, they DO notice and the new vicar- detective starts an investigation.There are drones from Best Buy but they have a blue light so you know they are from the future! The water is scarce so it's rationed and baby wipes are the order of the day... although there's enough water to do the laundry because everyone has spanking bright clean uniforms on even after a bloody operation in the makeshift hospital.The planet itself is a desert with a factory on it manned by talented ex- cons... the new hire is a dyslexic botanist who, in one day, manages to devise a whole new system for conserving water... there's an even sprinkling of races and genders so this bilge water can be sold worldwide... forced drama for no reason... a man cries because his horse died... and on it goes.Every attempt at tension fails. Nobody smiles and everyone struts about barking out orders and being miserable... that's the only bit of this crap-fest that I can associate with. I, too, would be as miserable as sin if I had to spend an eternity with this horrible collection of morons.So what is this about? It's a vicar detective in space... that's all you need to know!
