Season 1 Review: 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

Season 1 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

Season 1 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

Season 1 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

Season 1 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

Season 1 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

Season 1 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

Great Sci-Fi with grade A acting talent. Constance Wu, Anne Hathaway and Helen Mirren are simply amazing.

I understand the mixed review, I think it's hard for tv audience to approach something that sounds so theatrical. Although I have really come to appreciate the acting and the efforts of the cast and the writers. Almost every episode struck a chord inside me, it was a interesting - even ifI understand the mixed review, I think it's hard for tv audience to approach something that sounds so theatrical.
