This series is nothing like what people are saying it is. It is kind of like watching westworld with story-lines played at different timelines simultaneously.
I loved vis a vis but honestly I don't understand why they've been building Macarena and Fabio's romance for 2 seasons only for it to end the way it did. I thought we'd get to see Fabio in el oasis but the more I read about the spin-off the less hope I have of him returning.
I admired Vis a Vis for its unique characters. They were the essence of the series.
I started watching this simply because I loved the original series, however I am really disappointed and after just 4 episodes I think I'll stop watching, it is extremely weird and illogical, all characters are uninteresting (except maybe Zulema), the storyline is terrible.. the best thing they did is making it a spinoff series instead of having it as another season, because this will absolutely ruin everything you liked about Vis a Vis..
When I came across "Vis a Vis" or "Locked Up" in English, I was hooked. I watch a lot of Netflix and this was the best series I came across in years.
To be fair I was only watching it because of Macarena, so I may be biased: But I was really disappointed and almost as frustrated as when she was abscent during season 3 and 4 in the original series. She deserves more screen time and a much better storyline since SHE is Vis a vis for me.
El Oasis is a show for hardcore fans of 'Vis a vis' only, a sort of closure spin-off by itself and if it weren't for Zulema and Maca, this one-season series would get a 4.(+) Superb acting as always by Najwa Nimri who basically carries the entire show by herself.
At first i thought that they shouldn't continue the storyline but after some episodes it is enjoyable . Maca and zule are great actors!
