Solos is strongest when it devotes itself to the idea of devious tech, and when it centers on the actors best suited to the demands of proactive performance. But “Sasha” and “Nera” are a rarity in an anthology that is otherwise mostly familiar, and disappointingly predictable.
It’s all very well-executed but for a show that’s supposed to be about human connection, it left me a bit cold.

No one embarrasses themselves. And some of the actors even hit a few grace notes within their 30 minutes. But Solos left me imagining what it could have been, rather than savoring what it is.
An ensemble series of monologues on the theme of loneliness that, rather than resonating in this particular time, feel stiff and flat.
The series allows eight talented performers to play in a near future with advancing technology (insert “Black Mirror” reference here), where they’re tasked with delivering monologues that range from decent to extremely clunky.
The series instantly dates itself with its monologues and it’s doubtful fans will watch more than one episode considering there’s no actual plot.
Amazon’s Solos, a monologue-driven, single-set, vaguely sci-fi anthology drama that might inspire even the most earnest acting student to roll their eyes at its lazy self-indulgence and overwrought intensity.
