Critics' reviews

"It’s full of Black Mirror-style anxiety about the future, without the insight or commitment (...) Solos is strongest when it devotes itself to the idea of devious tech"

Roxana Hadadi: The Playlist
"7 stories of seclusion, most of them pretty great (...) each story from showrunner David Weil is a stand-alone miniature film"

Richard Roeper: Chicago Sun-Times
"Solos left me imagining what it could have been, rather than savoring what it is."

Tara Bennett: Paste Magazine
"'Solos' tries hard to say something deep and profound about the essence of memory (...) But the writing isn’t quite sharp enough to make its point"

Caroline Framke: Variety
"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"

Joel Keller: Decider
"It becomes downright painful to watch such talented actors succumb, to varying degrees, to the weak writing and shapeless direction of most of these half-hour character studies"

Brian Tallerico: The Playlist
"In many ways, each episode feels like a play you might see at a small, trendy New York theater. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
