Parallels (2022)

Watchseries; Young people with lives full of the things young people's lives are full of are sent on an adventure that involves science. No fistfights, no blood, just the drama coming from characters attached to one another in a situation they can't resolve. The science is lightly touched upon -- the true plot is how these friends remain friends. A pleasure to watch.

Parallels watchseries. It's done pretty well. The show could have been better, especially with how it's directed. It could have been darker but ig they didn't explore those ideas because it was made for Disney+. Either way, it's a good show with a satisfying ending.

Why are all the reviews so bad? This is a really good show. At first, it seems like it has been done before, but it's different from other things. Yes, it does very much resemble Netflix's "Dark" (2017), but it's not the same thing at all. It's really good and you should really give it a chance!!

This series was SUCH an EXCELLENT surprise! This morning I went into Disney+ and saw something called "Parallels". I started watching it dubbed into English but after, I believe, two sentences, I switched to French with subtitles. I was HOOKED.

A quick, spoiler-free rundown would be that it has excellent actors with excellent acting, great, absolutely great writing, dialogue, special effects, and production, very much above average cinematography, good, solid directing, and a completely riveting storyline.

I had the weirdest thought once I was about halfway through this perfect miniseries: how DARE Disney make such an excellent live-action series?! But then I realized that it's not a dumbed-down series made in the U. S. for kids. Sorry, but that's what I thought. I have no idea what they put in the water around Western Europe, but this series goes GREAT alongside Netflix's "Dark", although it is way shorter and WAY easier to understand, without needing a huge family tree in order to keep everything kind of in focus, as many of us did when watching "Dark" (one of the best series of the last decade).

I truly hope that there's a second series, although at the same time I believe this stands perfectly well on its own and why mess with perfection, right?

Watch it and treat yourself to, alongside "The Mandalorian", one of THE best surprises to come out of Disney+.

10/10.

The writing is terribly inconsistent and absurd, which will insult the intelligence of any young person over 8 years old, who also is not interested in older teenagers kissing for the first time. If a person and their clothes magically age 20 years - AND GROW - then so do their memories which are a PHYSICAL part of the brain that also aged and grew.

A mother would at least ask key questions to her son, before turning him into the police as an imposter. A scientist developing a huge "new physics" apparatus would also be sufficiently open minded to inquire into the unexplainable -- since that is what they are exploring in science!

The preposterous story and pace is painfully slow. 35 minutes felt like more than 60 minutes. And still NOTHING about string theory or parallel universes.

Apparently, Disney cannot hire adults with any critical thinking. That includes employees and contractors who cannot possibly conceive how a child can be blind to differences in skin color, ethinitity, religion, heritage, class, and GENDER ORIENTATION -- until they are TAUGHT prejudice by adults, law enforcement, 1%ers, and media.

Like other reviewers have stated. Don't watch the English dubbed version.

There is little explanation of some of the dumb decision the teenager make.

Also I found I could n otget connected to the series

just enjoy the ride.
