Soulmates

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!!

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.

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.
