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. Read full review

Aduba's episode stands out among the first four episodes of "Solos," which collectively illustrate how difficult it is to pull off single-character drama on-screen. Read full review

This is an anthology series, so there are highs and lows between episodes (which often have secret links between them – keep an eye out for those) and it’s likely that viewers will have their own favourites. Read full review

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. Read full review

An ensemble series of monologues on the theme of loneliness that, rather than resonating in this particular time, feel stiff and flat. Read full review

The performances in Solos would have really worked well on stage. But on TV, even the sharp performances can’t make up for lack of action or story propulsion. There’s a reason why monologuing rarely translates well to film or TV, and Solos shows why. Read full review

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. Read full review

I was concerned about this series as I've seen negative reviews from the critics and also papers, but it came out to be a very refreshing show for me.

Comparing it to black mirror, as I've seen already, is dumb as the direction of the show and every episode is meant to take you to someplace completely different.

The show feels claustrophobic and lonely, but it is intended as any episode is meant to be played with only one actor.

It also feels theatrical, as the only way of communication is through emotional monologue.

The cast didn't disappoint and everyones delivery is spot on. Each episodes takes time to unfold and does it in a non expository way, which also is a plus. Each character is interesting, the drama is on a very good level.

In the times where you feel you only breath wandavision, the boys, or other action series, this is like opening a door and inhaling full lungs of fresh air

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Watching this you wonder: is this the new normal? Are actors going to be forced to act in scenes alone? The authenticity is raw and emotionally draining at times, but there are always moments you are left questioning what if? Those kinds of shows are always the best… Expand
