Netflix's latest release, described as a combination of The White Lotus and Gossip Girl, is predicted to be the TV obsession of the summer. All episodes of Oasis are now streaming on the platform, with early viewers claiming it will be the binge-watch of the season.
What is Oasis About?
The Spanish-produced show immediately drew comparisons to HBO's drama as it is set at a lavish holiday destination, featuring characters of great wealth and privilege. According to its synopsis, Oasis is the most luxurious holiday resort in the country, a paradise reserved for the wealthiest families with private beaches, VIP facilities, and impenetrable security.
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.
How Does It Differ from The White Lotus?
Despite comparisons, early impressions claim Oasis takes a slightly different approach, focusing more on building suspense around its gripping mystery. The cast includes several lesser-known stars to those unfamiliar with Spanish series. The series is in Spanish but can be watched with subtitles or dubbed in English.
Early Reviews
As the series has just landed on Netflix, it has yet to receive enough reviews for a Rotten Tomatoes score. However, early reviews are positive. One critic claims it "will be your new summer TV obsession," while another calls it a "refreshing, easily digestible series."
A reviewer added: "It is a slick, glossy and less obviously satirical take on the dysfunctional rich people genre but this Spanish drama might fill that White Lotus-shaped hole." Another verdict noted: "viewers looking for an accessible, fast-moving mystery packed with secret twists and turns are likely to have a much better time."
One reviewer shared: "The show moves at a brisk pace, introduces new suspects at regular intervals and rarely allows the mystery to lose momentum, keeping viewers perpetually on the lookout for clues." They continued: "It delivers an engaging mystery, an attractive setting and just enough uncertainty to keep viewers pressing play on the next episode."
