Tragic overload series, but could have been much better
I don't have an issue with the non-physical relationship of the two main charterers. In fact I can see and appreciate the lack of a sexual aspect to the relationship. Seems like the creators took a page out of a USA LGBTQ+ series were there is tragedy always associated with and seemingly loving and successful alternative relationships.
My issues with Soul Mate are:
1.) The script especially in early episodes seems choppy and inconsistent.
2.) Too graphic in the beginning episodes.
3.) Too many tragic events. Really count them up. There are more tragic events than episodes. Therefore this series for me does get a Trigger alert!
The good aspect of Soul Mate is that the actors all become characters I became engaged with and liked them. The actors ability to present themselves was far superior than the script and tangentially tragic story-line. To the makers of this story...too much drama/tragic events can spoil a series. This is the case here for sure.
Finally, this wonderful cast of actors that could have made a 10 star series. I rate this as a 6.5 out of 10.
