Each episode has own story, one episode is better than the other. The overall concept is interesting. I cannot shake the feeling if this would have been an English production it would have been so much better. It's like the "soul" is missing in the production. Which is an irony, really.

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.

Terrible

The second episode was worse then the first. There is no validity to their approach to what their trying to explain. Who are their aiming for audience? House wives? Singled lonely people? Terrible! You have people interfering in others life just because you have a match wit that person? So you have to cause problems for them so they be with your match? This is tacky and daytime drama garbage! They produce any thing these days AMC . It lacks understanding where the plot is. It throws the timeline some where in the future? Or worse paradox current time line? I enjoy good version of this theme. But this show is just bad in its explain nothing at all. People here Instead of telling spoilers like many have here, why not explain why? As for technology theme LOL its so inconsistent or what they trying explain it is bad. There is no good hoping this show will improve, if they cant get the plot straight from 1st. There just going to be more or the same misdirect of the theme. Sad, it looks good but the writers and directors are not on the same line.

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 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.

I watched the first episode and I liked the concept, the future not so different from what we know now, but letting the machine decide about our life, we also do that often... But about love too? It made me ask myself some questions. It seems like an episode I saw from black mirror, but still not so bad. I want to watch the second episode so I can really judge. I did not tho dislike this 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.

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.

The problem with this show is in the storytelling. So far as I have seen (episode 2) the acting is okay, the sets are white, the camera is...shaky but where it really fails is the scripts because (at least to me) the characters' actions are extremely illogical and unlike anything an actual human with a semi-operative brain would do! Married? Maybe don't sign up for essentially a cheater's dating app?! Soulmates? Then how come you have as many problems as other couples do?! Someone hacked your account? REPORT THEM???? It's clearly a stalker???!!! I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop but so far this story is not provocative, it doesn't push the viewer to question anything. It's just frustrating because right out the gate, the show takes the soulconnex or whatever system as word of god so it doesn't even attempt to question the most questionable fact of the show! It's just bizarre. It focuses on the human factor and attempts to explore how humans deal with the situation but I find this absolute trust in some company that claims to find soulmates so stupid. It sounds like something that would become a trend on twitter for 2 weeks and then 3 years later you hear about it again and the owner has been arrested for fraud! The story is not committed to being science-fiction. They could just make a show about relationships without the science stuff and it would be the exact same thing with slightly different terminology. Now I am still on episode two so the show might get better later but so far, I'm mildly amused/frustrated as I watch the characters deliberately not ask the right questions. I also specifically hate the background music. It's very generic and creepy and it doesn't indicate emotional cues for the story very well.

I'm on the 3rd ep and it's just ridiculous. He's a schoolteacher and she's a commercial artist/graphic designer. Everyone has a great career and lives in a million dollar modern house. So I guess the takeaway is you only deserve your soulmate if you're under 50, make a 6 figure salary and are model good looking. It was a fantastic premise, but the execution is horrible.

Disturbing and thoughtful in its crazy premise. Not sure how far you can take it but I'm interested enough to keep watching.

The first few episodes were really good and captivating because there was this sense of mystery and wonder but as we progressed through the series it became rather typical with the scenarios. Regardless the concept was of the soul connect was really interesting and i would like to see more.

Cameraman. Fired. Please. Take saved money. Invest in steadicam.

This show was not at all like I thought it would be. Based on the title of Soul Mates, I thought it would be more about match-making and finding the right person to love. Oh my, it's that but gets twisted sister down the road. Not sure if I'd watch it again but it was suspenseful.

This serie is well done, every episode is entirely different from the others. They all revolve around a genetic test for a Soulmate, but plot lines are not the same.

I didn't notice anything wrong with the filming, so I don't really understand the other reviews about that.

3 of the episode were really great. 2 dragged on. One was good but not great. The idea behind the show seems to be something that can move in a very interesting direction so I'm hopeful for season too. The British actors really did manage to pull off the American accents really well.

The writing is elementary. There is barely any character introduction, much less character development. The filming style...(shaky camera, bizarre color mix) makes it feel as if you're watching an annoying commercial made by a very bad film student. This program has absolutely no redeeming qualities.

This is a great concept. Each episode actually gets better and better. I tend to enjoy the darker episodes VS the lighter episodes. Extremely happy this is already cleared for a second season, I can't wait to see what they have up their sleeves. Don't question it, just give it a chance!!

Out of 6. I guess other people will have the same experience, the Sci-Fi Tag drew me in, as it so often does, but more than transparent phones I didn't notice.

Give it a second try if the first or even second Episode wasn't for you, maybe there's something in the following.

Very slow and unoriginal.

'Netflix's latest series The One is based on John Marrs' sci-fi novel of the same name, set in a future where a simple DNA test can find everyone's perfect partner.'

Lots of potential for a deep and wide subject, but it's really a prosaic very pedestrian perspective of what soul mates are. Plus the shaky-cam is atrociously overused.

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.

Season 4 episode 2 - rick and morty show ... completely stole the concept of that episode .

Why would they go back to their spouse. (Because we are bigger is a lame excuse and invalidates the whole story.) In the end this story can't be told because it has to end bad. Episode one is as phony as a two dollar bill. I don't know who wrote this but they need to go back to writing school for about ten years..
