Mila in the Multiverse
What's the Story?
In MILA IN THE MULTIVERSE, Sao Paolo teen Mila can't figure out why her inventor mom Elis has been so distant recently. On her 16th birthday, Mila finds out that the mysterious device her mom has been tinkering on has the power to transport people between parallel universes in which many of Mila's friends and teachers exist as different versions of themselves. Mila's mom has been trying to thwart the evil Operators, a group of black-cloaked villains who want to exterminate all the universes. When Mila gets separated from her mom, it's up to her and her friends to continue the mission of keeping people in all the universes alive.
Is It Any Good?
Tweens and teens into slightly creepy sci-fi will love this show; the parallel universe conceit is super fun, and kids will enjoy seeing how all of the characters act (and dress) in each universe. Mila in the Multiverse is well acted, and lead Laura Luz shines. The characters straddle the fine line between being wholesome role models while still feeling real enough that kids will identify with them. The only bummer for kids who don't know Portuguese or Spanish is that the series isn't available dubbed in English, so the subtitle reading could turn away some potential fans. Otherwise, Mila in the Multiverse is perfect for the whole family to watch together.
