I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The acting in this movie is really good.

As a film and TV buff with far too many options to choose from, it can be a strain to decide on what new series to start. But, it helps when the story is interesting, the cast is perfect, and the soundtrack and score carries it along as though no time has passed at all. Yes, this show has all that and more.I don't tend to review things, because it takes too long- just like watching certain shows takes too long. And that's time I will never get back! My time is valuable, and I won't waste it on something I don't enjoy. Like the character of Bernie in this series, we can all relate to having regrets and feeling like we don't have enough time to live the life we want and that life is just too short, period. So, if I'm taking the time here to post this, I liked it for sure, and I hope it gets picked up to series!On a related note, one of the charms of this show is the simplemindedness of some of the people, the small town, low-income setting has a coziness all it's own, and as suggested above, the cast is just so likable! Glenn Close is her usual great self, and of note is Meg Ryan's son, Jack, who plays her nephew- hot as can be!! In short, get on board with Sea Oak! I know there are so many shows to choose from, but this one is both light and dark, a nice departure from the usual extremes of one or the other, a cozy kind of black comedy that really does deserve to succeed!

We loved this pilot and can't wait to see future episodes. I sure hope they pick this series up and flush out the story even more. I wasn't expecting that crazy plot twist... never saw it coming and was screaming NOOoooo at the TV when the episode ended. Cannot wait to see what happens next!

Not sure what this is meant to be but it isn't comedy, it isn't horror, it isn't drama, it isn't very good.The pilot is an incoherent messy, a semi-funny script with actors that are borderline convincing.Maybe I am too old for this ****** ...... ? I don't know.

The writing and performances in Sea Oak are awesome. The premise is unique and evocative. Glen Close gives a tour de force performance and the supporting cast delivers quirky but fully realized cathartic characters. The relationship between Quaid and Sarah Hay's character as Angela already percolates with future possibilities. And, of course, can't wait to see what Glen Close cooks up for her character's future escapades. Hoping to see many more episodes.
