Parallèles

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.

I found the series quite interesting to watch. Teens, their thoughts, relationship, family value and overall multiverse, how a particle accelerator change their lives and a mom who never gives up to bring the old life back. Dubbed version is not bad, if you used to watch with subs that fine, otherwise dubbed is okay too. I personally liked the show.

Loved every minute, definitely watch in French with subs. So much better than the "kid stuff" Disney usually pumps out. Smart believable characters and great action, without violence for the most part. Would definitely show it to a kid, but I'm nowhere near that age, and I got a lot out of it. Hope they will continue!

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.

One black out, sends some teenage friends, into a weird parallel of time and space, will they have figure it all out before it's too late?

I just watched the first episode, and I'm hooked on where it's gonna go, and how the puzzle pieces are gonna fit together. The young actors have incredible chemistry, you do buy that are good friends. I can't wait to watch the next episodes.
