Critic Reviews

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.

Season 1 Review:
Occasionally, the acting compensates for the writing’s stodgy archness. ... These stories need another 10 minutes at least, for the endings to be more than abrupt dead stops or agonisingly pat twists, and for the glimmers of fine work to mature into something solid and profound, rather than sententious ick.

Season 1 Review:
Every idea here feels superficially confronted. Nothing feels like insight, only constant melodrama that barely connects to modern or future concerns. Other than the occasional acting choice (by Beharie or Aduba, particularly), everything here is predictable, bland, and unrealistic. And so “Solos” verges from just misguided into insulting, pushing buttons in the most uninteresting way to get a response—it takes a special kind of nerve to use dying parents to provoke an emotional response in the first two episodes of an anthology series.
