Soulmates

I watched the first episode, and wished I had taken Dramamine beforehand. The camera isn't what I would call "shaky" exactly, it pans and swings back and forth, up and down, much more slowly and deliberately. It's more like the cameraperson is standing on an exercise ball, and trying badly to balance, while filming people on solid ground. Or maybe the entire cast, crew, cinematographer et al are filming the show on a boat on the ocean during a storm. Who can say. It was nearly a deal breaker but I did survive without vomiting until the end of the show, because it was mildly interesting. I really can't say whether I will watch the 2nd episode.

I'm writing this with one episode left in the series still to air, but I have 0 faith the last one will be much better than the previous ones. This show is pretty to look at sometimes, and the actors are surprisingly of high caliber ( in my opinion ). This show is lacking any actual interesting story. The premise is interesting enough, but the execution is just so poor. Only 1 or 2 of them have been interesting enough and the rest have just dragged on. I'm particularly sad because I was very excited for this show when the trailer first came out.

Episodes 1, 2 and 6 are worth watching.

One of the other reviews asked why so many of the actors are British? Simple - British actors are really talented. The acting in general is of a high standard - really watchable.

Other reviews have also complained about shaky camerawork - I'm the first to be nauseous from shaky camerawork and it didn't bother me but YMMV.

The main weakness of the series as a whole is that it doesn't really delve into what defines a soulmate. Except for episode 6, the concept of a soulmate is often entirely tangential.

I really liked it, but I have to admit, it seems a lot like Black Mirror, the dangers of technology in our times.

Let's see what the second episode brings.

This show is great! I love how there are different episodes with different characters and plot line. I seriously can't wait to see the next episode. Don't let other peoples opinions deter you from not seeing it. I hate when I see a movie or show with low ratings and it turns out to be a great movie or show that I could have missed if I listened to others. I mean if it's a 2, then I will obviously take that into account. Remember we all have different likes and it's a good thing, so you'll know what you missed.
