Jenna Bush Hager Reveals To Hoda Kotb That Her Daughter Asked Her Husband Why He Was "Lying" When He Said She "Never Looked Better" Matt Rife Goes Viral Again For Resurfaced 'Wild 'N Out' Joke That Showed Him Grabbing Zendaya's Face Without Her Consent: "Keep Your Hands Off Her!" However, such sketches require an empathic acuity and humble lightness of touch that Solos doesn’t possess. It has a weakness for the sort of lines that make bad writers high-five themselves. Sentences with literary delusions, such as “I push through the barrier of bodies – hot, salty tears stinging my eyes” or “We were standing there, her chlorine-wrinkled hands balanced on my nervous body” drop out of the actors’ mouths. If they were declaimed in a theatre for the upper circle to hear, you might get away with them; on a small screen, they land with a tinny thump.

Two things to watch for that you might not think of on the first watch: 1: listen to the narration Morgan Freeman gives for each episode. Once you realize he's not just a narrator but a character, and what his role is in relation to all of them, the narration takes on new meaning. 2: look at the pictures they selected to fill the letters that open each episode. Helen Mirren as Peg, a senior citizen who joins a space program because she felt invisible. Tom is her adoptive father. 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 ] While few ideas carry over from episode to episode — despite the show’s best efforts — this haphazard approach to technology as some all-consuming monolith rears its head once again, in a later episode. However, the theme that begins to feel most potent, especially once it’s made explicit by “Sasha,” is perhaps unintentional: the effects of pandemic-era isolation.Film and TV Projects Going Into Production - Solos".

Stream It Or Skip It: 'Holiday Road' on Hallmark, Where Nine Strangers Come Together for an Unforgettable Christmas Roadtrip Dan Stevens as Otto, an NHS worker who steals a cure for Stuart to repair his Alzheimer's, later revealed that Stuart stole all his memories as a child on the day his mother died ("Stuart"). Stevens also voices Tym, the AI Space Shuttle in Peg's episode Despite this, the cast is able to conjure some engrossing performances, and a couple of stories show more promise. Watching Peg (Mirren) reminisce about the one that got away on a journey through outer space, for instance, and Jenny (Constance Wu) give a tearful account of the worst day of her life is frequently heart-breaking. 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”. The tie-together at the end is almost perfect, except that the episode "Nera" is only vaguely referenced, and also didn't seem to share a mini-connection to any of the others, as the rest of the episodes all seemed to do. It is the most isolated of all of the episodes and has had me rewatching and pondering why. Was it editing that removed its connection from the rest or was it intentional? There is so much about it that doesn't fit with the rest. It does contain nearly all of the themes, but it has a really strong "one of these things is not like the others" feel all the way through it.

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.
