Some review comments...

• This television show is a complete abomination. 
• The show is beautiful story telling and incredible acting.
• This got to be one of the most boring series ever presented on a streaming service. Who at Amazon thought that a seven episode series with nothing but actors delivering monologues was a great idea?
• Solos was a beautiful series. Every episode was captivating, and at the same time sad too. The way it all came together at the end was amazing.
• Oh wow!! I’m only on episode 2 and I am so moved. Great cast, great stories. Time travel and real feelings about life.
• If you are looking for action this will not be enjoyable to you. These are character driven stories by actors who make you care.
• Cried every episode.
• Alan Bennett meets sci fi.

Cast: Ann Hathaway, Anthony Mackie, Helen Mirren, Uzo Aduba, Constance Wu, Nicole Beharie, Morgan Freeman, Dan Stevens.
