Summary

Netflix's new Spanish-language series 'Oasis' is a luxury resort mystery drama that draws inevitable comparisons to 'The White Lotus' but leans more into the teen soap opera territory of 'Elite.' The show begins with a flash-forward to a shocking crime at a resort, using similar visual motifs to 'White Lotus,' but comes from Spain and shares DNA with the long-running teen drama 'Elite.' The review suggests the series is more trashy teen entertainment than prestige social commentary.

Key quotes

· 3 pulled
'Oasis' even includes frequent B-roll of waves crashing on the beach, the same visual device 'White Lotus' creator Mike White uses to suggest the turmoil beneath the hotel's glittering surface.
'Oasis' hails from Spain, the same country that supplied the streaming service with eight seasons of the deliciously trashy teen soap 'Elite' before that series concluded.
The obvious comparison isn't wrong, per se.
Snippet from the RSS feed
Netflix's Spanish-language resort mystery 'Oasis' sounds like a 'White Lotus' clone on paper, but feels more like a teen drama in practice.
