The name of the game on this show is escapism, with people in their teens or twenties engaging in double affairs, drugs, and general debauchery; Or at least, that’s the promise of it, as the show highlights some of the streamer’s past successes on paper, including Aristocrat classWhich ran for eight seasons. In fact, the location shoot in Teneriffe offers stunning 4K footage of labyrinthine resort facilities and underwater fish chases on boats.

As Netflix has specifically told us not to reveal the nature of the relationships within the show, we can still say that it struggles to execute scandals and affairs unrelated to its main mystery. Even when boyfriends are stolen, secrets are revealed, pasts are revealed and betrayals occur, the show still has trouble delivering juicy twists and high emotions to get the best out of its characters. Thus, Oasis Flies from one subplot to the next with dexterity, but not much speed; Thus, the viewer feels a bit trapped with all the characters at the resort. And outside of the main mystery, most of the characters undergo cases that lack significantly in tension or seriousness, giving the impression that some “padding” was done to distract attention from the main mystery.

Ana Garces as Helena
As hotel employee Helena, who is working at the establishment part-time while awaiting her admission to medical school, Garces becomes the face of the show. A representative of the working class taken for granted by wealthy clients, Helena is given a fierce temper and determination that will drive much of the show, beginning with Celia’s disappearance and the apparent inertia of the investigation.
Light entertainment that works somewhat as a mystery thriller but disappoints as a juicy, soapy drama. Still, for customers looking to quench their thirst, this is a refreshing, easily digestible series.
