Soulmates

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.

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 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 passed this one by when it 1st aired and then was drawn back to it from other's reviews. It was an interesting idea, in theory, even though it would Not work in practice! And my point was proven in episode 6. All episodes are a new story, so you can watch them out of order. I found that episode 6 was the best. Then episode 2, 3, 1, 5, then 4. Some really good actors you will recognize from other popular shows and movies, so it's a good guilty pleasure worth a 1 time watch.

After the first episode and reading reviews, i didn't think I would like it. I thought each episode was going to be some version of the first, about regret and "the grass isn't greener" type plots, but they are not. Each episode has a different plot with one common theme but very different stories. A lot of comments about the camera being shaky... I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't read those reviews first and it didn't affect my watching experience. I recommend watching.
