Oasis is a pilot episode of an intended 2017 British television drama series, based on Michel Faber's 2014 novel The Book of Strange New Things.[1] It follows the adventures of a Scottish chaplain on an exoplanet colony.[2] Oasis was part of the 2017 pilot season wave 8 by Amazon Video.

The series' central character is chaplain Peter Leigh, played by Richard Madden, who is unexpectedly asked to travel to a remote planet, where USIC, a mysterious company, is building the first permanent off-world human colony, as environmental collapse shows Earth's habitability for humans is coming to an end.[2] On arrival at the colony, Leigh discovers there have been a series of accidents, which are being blamed on hallucinations some colonists are experiencing.[3] The method of space travel to the presumed exoplanet is not shown, but it requires a launch from Earth with a traditional rocket. The exoplanet is presented as covered by a desert-like landscape, apparently without vegetation or other forms of life, but having natural underground water resources and a breathable atmosphere.

It is unclear how closely a prospective series would follow Faber's plot about a preacher teaching aliens about Christianity.[1] The pilot premiered on Amazon Video on 17 March 2017;[2] future episodes may be ordered depending on the popularity of the pilot.[2] The pilot episode reached an average rating of 4.8/5 by Amazon Video users in December 2017.[2]

The pilot was written by Matt Charman (Oscar-nominated for Bridge of Spies)[4] and directed by Kevin Macdonald.[1]

Plot

In London, in 2032, society and public order have largely collapsed and there is a shortage of food and supplies. After the death of his wife Bea, chaplain Peter Leigh is contacted by USIC executive Vivian Hades and shown a video call by David Morgan, USIC co-owner

and founder of the colony on the desert-like exoplanet, begging Peter to come to the colony. Peter travels to the colony and is initially received with scepticism by the crew as nobody had expected a chaplain to arrive, and there are doubts how a chaplain could be useful. Peter learns that there have been several lethal accidents that are believed to have been caused by hallucinations the colony members are experiencing, and that David Morgan has not returned from an exploration tour into the desert and is missing for several days. While Sara Keller goes jogging in the desert on one of the following mornings, she has a vision of her daughter (who actually is staying back on Earth) calling out for her mother in the dunes. Following this vision, Sara discovers the rover that had been used by David Morgan on his excursion, half sunk in the sand, with blood-stained wind shield. In the colony, Paul Halloran tells Peter about his racing horse that came to death on Halloran's wrongdoing, which he deeply regrets. Sara Keller insists that a search party should be formed to seek David Morgan, but Danesh, the colony's boss, refuses. The next day, while drilling for underground water, Paul Halloran experiences a vision of his dead horse, and attempting to reach for it, he steps into the operating drilling gear and is fatally wounded. The colony's crew and their leader, Danesh, conclude that the visions are not randomly caused by the environmental conditions but are some form of attack on the crew. Danesh invokes a state of alert and, with David Morgan missing, assumes the controlling position of the colony. Peter discovers a secret message in David Morgan's room and location coordinates. He takes a rover to go into the desert to the coordinate spot. He is stopped by Sara Keller, but she decides, apparently against Danesh's orders, to let Peter go and find out what happened to David Morgan. Peter ends up in a cave where he experiences an appearance of his deceased wife Bea.

Production

Music

The musical score for Oasis was composed by Martin Phipps.[6] The show's theme song, "Human", was written by the English singer-songwriter Rag'n'Bone Man.[7] Additional songs used in the show include "Walkin' After Midnight" and "Crazy" by Patsy Cline, "Wrong" by Depeche Mode, and "Halfway To Paradise" by Billy Fury.[7]

Reception

The pilot received a positive review from Beth Elderkin in io9 who complimented MacDonald's direction and Madden's acting, but criticised that the other characters were poorly developed.[1] Andrew Liptak wrote for The Verge that the show might become "a compelling, thought-provoking story"[3] with themes similar to those of Stanisław Lem's novel Solaris (wherein a psychologist travels to a space station orbiting an exoplanet as some crew members call out for help after inexplicable events) and the short-lived 2011 BBC drama Outcasts (about strange things happening on a colonized distant planet).[3]

IndieWire rated the Oasis pilot a B−.[8]

By early 2018, Rotten Tomatoes listed an audience score of 93% and a TOMATOMETER of 75% on 12 reviews.[9]
