In the very near future, a test is developed that incontrovertibly lets a person know who their soulmate is. The new science is clear, and no matter a person's current relationship status, whether they are single, dating or even married, this test will unmistakably point a person in the direction of their actual, scientifically determined soulmate. People in long-term relationships should not be content in believing they've already made the right choice. Even if a person seems to be deep in love with their current partner, this test may just prove that they are mistaken. After all, science knows best.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Well-performed, but frustratingly fleeting, Soulmates asks some interesting questions, but its anthology approach cuts any novel revelations short.

Globe and Mail

Yes, it's grim, but the series is beautifully made, especially "The Lovers" episode, with an excellent cast.

Soulmates poses some interesting questions, has some interesting characters, but the episodes are just that bit too uneven for it to be a Must Watch.

Hannah Giorgis

The Atlantic

Soulmates isn't exactly a cynical show. Though it's skeptical about the mythic balm of predestined romantic love, the anthology insists that the choices we make and the way we treat other people do matter.

Kat Hughes

THN

A well written collection of stories that challenges the audience with the question of whether they would take the test Soulmates has plenty going for it to be worthy of your time.

Rated: 4/5

Martin Unsworth

Starburst

Across six intriguing episodes, Soulmates asks the audience to ponder whether love really can be determined by predestination or whether the right to choose and make an informed decision is an implacable and fundamental part of the human experience.

Rated: 4/5

Euan Ferguson

Observer (UK)

A fantastic premise, which could have led to many philosophicals: sadly, it doesn't really progress over its six episodes, and feels as if the writers have rather crammed in too many current orthodoxies for the sake of box-ticking.

gracie m Critic reviews aren't good enough... somehow each episode gets better. ep1 is7/10, ep2 is 8/10...though i had to skip ep4, but the acting in the first few minutes was good but not into the gay stuff. Episode 5 is 10/10...It's like Romeo and Juliet but better. Can't wait to see the last episode! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Rachael H First off, this series features a different storyline each episode but they are all connected by the 'soulmate test' which is a really interesting concept. Some episodes are not so great whereas some are engaging. For example, episode 1 is a bit boring but gets the ball rolling and 4 is the same. Whereas episodes 2, 3, 5 and 6 have really interesting ideas and are more of the drama/suspense genre. I don't know if a second season would work, but I'm up for watching another if it does come out. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/18/21 Full Review Audience Member Couldn't even finish the first episode. Once again let's make the black man evil while we all feel sorry for poor helpless white woman. Hollywood never fails to disappoint Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/03/24 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely love this show. Brilliant writing - so subtle and stylish. It looks fantastic too. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved it! A great concept and always engaging stories. Can't wait for series 2!
