Robert De Niro Slams Apple And Gotham Awards For Censoring His Anti-Trump Remarks: "How Dare They Do That" If these queries are intended to provoke some soul searching in the viewer, they don’t achieve it (though for the record, my own answers are no, no and anywhere but Surrey). More often than not, the episodes that follow them boil down to parables with simple lessons like “cherish your family” or “make your voice heard”.

Constance Wu—Jenny

The final episode is so rich and full of meaning and reference... it's astounding. The acting is perfect. Morgan Freeman's subtle face changes are brilliant.

The series ponders what it means to be human, arguing that we are connected to others through shared experiences, even in our most isolated moments. [2] Cast [ edit ] And that’s the major problem with Solos. When we watched both the Hathaway and Aduba episodes, we never shook the feeling that we were watching acting exercises and not real stories. Don’t get us wrong: The acting that we saw was incredible. But they felt like something you could have seen on a blank stage in the pre-COVID days (or on Zoom these days), with proceeds going to the actor’s favorite charity. They’re fine performances — Aduba’s is especially good — but at no time did we believe that we were watching specific characters existing in their specific worlds.The writing is really stellar, and the acting is superb, both of those skills coming together to create something that is a series of monologues that rarely feel monologue-ish. In Episode 3, we learn that the Peg (played by Helen Mirren) is a grown-up version of Tom's daughter. She tells us her father died when she was young, and Tom has a terminal illness in Episode 2. Helen Mirren as Peg, a senior citizen who joins a space program because she felt invisible. Tom is her adoptive father.

What Shows Will It Remind You Of? Solos has a vibe similar to HBO’s Coastal Elites, where solo performers essentially monologue for 15-25 minutes, though in the case of the two episodes above, the actors are talking to someone or something, whether it’s a smart home software host or future and past versions of herself.Joy Behar Calls On Will Smith To "Get In The Ring" With Jada Pinkett Smith On 'The View': "He Sits There And Takes It" Kate Middleton's Infamous Honey Trap Fashion Show Moment Takes Center Stage In 'The Crown' Season 6 Part 2 First Look Photos Mirren acquits herself best as Peg, a willing human guinea pig on a spaceship with no plan for returning to Earth. Hurtling away from everything she’s ever known — and strangely incurious about the purpose of the experiment she’s just signed up for — the septuagenarian chats with the shuttle’s computer system as if she’s having tea with a dear friend. Her journey is familiar — that of an older woman who realizes she didn’t need to be so self-effacing all her life, and vows to be more assertive now — but Mirren’s understated, phenomenally controlled, bittersweet performance distinguishes it from other Pegs you’ve seen before. Sasha has lived alone in a smart home for 20 years following an apocalyptic pandemic. Although her home's AI insists it is safe to go outside, Sasha refuses, preferring the safety and predictability of her house. Sasha refuses an ultimatum by the home automation company, and the AI shuts itself off. It could have been that what Weil and his writers wrote was just too dense and didn’t allow for any quiet moments. Even though the episodes more or less had just one actor, there still seemed to be segments designed precisely for monologuing and emoting, but there were no moments that let the performers, or their performances, breathe.
