Any TV show that puts god in space, I will watch. And this is exactly what Amazon’s pilot for Oasis appears to be about—god in space.
The story: The year is 2032, the earth is an environmental and economic mess, and all hope lies on Oasis, a colony at the edge of the galaxy. It costs $100 million to send a single person to Oasis, which has a population of about 200 humans. The sandstorms on Oasis are nightmarish, but when the weather is calm, several planets in its solar system are visible in the sky. For reasons that are unknown, the founder of this colony—which is managed by a multinational corporation—has brought a priest, Peter Leigh (Game of Thrones‘ Richard Madden), to the planet at great expense. Something weird is going on that science cannot explain. A man of god is needed. He must make sense of what appears to be supernatural events.
