Parallels (I) (2015)
5/10
The plot premise is very good, the characters are awful
18 April 2015
I liked the general premise of this pilot/movie very much. That said the characters' construction was incredibly bad, most of them seemed mentally challenged. If this has aspirations as a TV series (and it has the needed basal stuff) nowadays demanding audiences want more realistic characters, they have to find writers able to deliver closer to life personas. The "we have to find mommy" is far fetched giving the reality the characters are set into and also seems directed to children, but that is barely the tip of the iceberg of the many small but hurting failures it has that could've been credible for a show in the '70, nowadays IMHO is unbearably naïve.

Under the Skin (I) (2013)
7/10
Good enough with some caveats.

It deserves to be watched. That said, it began with a promising "out of the box" attitude to —finally— fall for certain common places (though it doesn't go fully on them). The end is a little forced, but at least it solves some questions without doubts. The biggest problem it has it that, for the viewer without any external clues could be pretty hard to convene the goal of the main character. The actress is perfect for the role as it was the decision of taking non actors to make the "immersing" experience more believable. With a little push, with both more a candid view to allow the common audience to appreciate it and more dexterity to avoid those (not abused nevertheless) common places, it would've been great.
