	Author	Review
United States	Roxana Hadadi The Playlist	"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"	NEU
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"7 stories of seclusion, most of them pretty great (...) each story from showrunner David Weil is a stand-alone miniature film"	POS
United States	Tara Bennett Paste Magazine	"Solos left me imagining what it could have been, rather than savoring what it is."	NEU
United States	Caroline Framke Variety	"'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"	NEU
United Kingdom	Jack Seale The Guardian	"A dystopian dud even Anne Hathaway can’t rescue (...) Stodgy, cheesy and woefully underdeveloped (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"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"	NEU
United States	Brian Tallerico The Playlist	"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"	NEG
United States	Kelly Lawler USA Today	"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)"	NEU
United States	Inkoo Kang The Hollywood Reporter	"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."	NEG
United States	Kristen Lopez IndieWire	"It's hard to convince viewer to watch more than one episode considering there's no actual plot (...) a great example of how a good cast and good directors can be stymied by a pandemic"	NEU
