Netflix Debuts Spanish Resort Drama 'Oasis' to Mixed Early Reviews

High-end Tenerife cinematography dominates reviews, calling into question the show's plotting and satirical depth.

Overview

  • Netflix released all eight episodes of Oasis on Friday, June 19, 2026, making the full season available to stream immediately.
  • The story centers on the disappearance of employee Celia and a police-ordered lockdown at the luxury Oasis resort while employees Helena and guest Dani drive the search.
  • Oasis was produced by Bambú Producciones and created and written by Ramón Campos, Jon de la Cuesta and collaborators, and was filmed on location in Tenerife with prominent 4K visuals.
  • Early reviews consistently praise the show's glossy setting and cinematography but criticize thin plotting, uneven subplots, and a weaker satirical edge than comparisons to The White Lotus imply.
  • Netflix asked critics not to disclose certain relationship details during early coverage, the series is available with subtitles and dubs for international audiences, and some outlets predict it could become a summer binge despite its mixed critical reception.
