Cli-Fi

Netflix's smash indie hit of the year just happens to be a scifi movie! No I am not talking about Sense8, the TV show. I am talking about Parallels. A low budget scifi flick which had me engaged from the very first scene. It comes from the Director and creator of the Syfy channel's short-lived mini-series The Lost Room, Christopher Leone which only makes that much more sense.
If you were waiting for a reboot of the TV show Sliders. This is as close as one will get. Except that at certain points the alternate worlds plot sometimes get overshadowed by the mystery behind the building that takes our main characters there. While the "movie" gets low ratings the "TV Pilot" gets high marks. What, you ask, is this a movie and a show? The answer is sort of. Leone has heard the fans calls and is currently re-developing the story to fit as a TV series. He is working closely with NETFLIX and they get first look at everything! Making that Parallels thing I just watched a pretty amazing pilot.
