Netflix's Oasis: A White Lotus-like Mystery Thriller

Netflix's brand new mystery thriller 'Oasis' is being hailed as the perfect addition to your weekend viewing schedule, with all eight episodes now available to binge watch. Described as a 'nightmare vacation' thriller, the Spanish drama delves into a luxury break that spirals into mayhem following a mysterious disappearance.

Plot Overview

A synopsis reveals: 'Oasis is the most luxurious holiday resort in the country - a paradise reserved for the wealthiest families, featuring private beaches, VIP facilities, and impenetrable security. The perfect place to spend the best summer of your life. But everything falls apart when the police storm the resort to investigate a mysterious disappearance. In such an exclusive place, everyone is a suspect - and no one can leave until the culprit is found.'

Comparisons to The White Lotus

While international audiences may not immediately recognise the cast, many viewers are convinced the show's plot sounds remarkably familiar. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans have been drawing comparisons between the new release and HBO's 'The White Lotus', which revolved around murder mysteries at luxurious hotel resorts.

One fan remarked: 'It's basically The White Lotus but with all young people, or does it just seem that way to me?' Someone else quipped: 'Close enough, welcome back The White Lotus.' Others have been vocal about their eagerness to catch the series: 'A SUMMER MURDER MYSTERY LET'S GOOOOOO,' one viewer exclaimed. A second fan added: 'I will never get tired of a simple disappearance on an island mystery.'

'Oasis' is streaming now on Netflix.
