Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
The strength of the cast and the engaging storytelling help mitigate the fact that we spend very little time with these people. Any one of these stories could sustain an entire series, and in some ways the show might have been better for it. But thanks to great performances (from a largely British cast playing Americans) including Sarah Snook, Kingsley Ben-Adir, David Costabile, Sonya Cassidy, Charlie Heaton, Malin Akerman, Bill Skarsgård, and Betsy Brandt, it’s easy to become immediately invested in each new story—though leaving them behind is more of a challenge.

Season 1 Review:
There are strong performances from an array of prestige TV’s familiar faces — Malin Akerman and David Costabile of “Billions,” Charlie Heaton of “Stranger Things” and Betsy Brandt of “Breaking Bad,” among them — but the show lapses into the predictable pace of similar anthology series, where the ideas are many but the results are not always captivating. Still, “Soulmates” is a nifty enough show for AMC to serve from its pandemic cupboard.

Season 1 Review:
“Soulmates” tells some of the stories one might immediately expect from the premise, and one or two which feel far more original. But despite the promise of those episodes which fall into the latter category, and despite the uniformly excellent acting (just wait ‘til you read the cast list), it’s hard not to walk away feeling as if you’ve spent hours watching the writers attempt to free themselves from their pitch.

Season 1 Review:
The chapters that work best, by a mile, are the ones that remain as firmly grounded in reality as a futuristic series can. ... The ensuing [first] hour, anchored by a terrific Snook performance, is painful and revealing, finding pockets of devastating insight tucked away in the dark corners. ... From there, “Soulmates” gets more lost in the weeds of its ambition.

Season 1 Review:
The result is a show which echoes the packet handed to each Soul Connex patient with their results: expensively packaged, intriguing in its outlines, the character distant but familiar, the parts seemingly aligned. But perfection devoid of intimacy is still a flat page. It takes much more than the compatibility of parts, however scientific, to make a match.
