Mindbogglingly boring.
I am a huge scifi fan, I love almost everything in the scifi and fantasy genre. So of course I was looking forward to this, two parallel worlds where the protagonists meet and interact, how cool is that premise?
Turns out it wasn't, isn't nor will be cool or even interesting. It was dull, forseeable and an utter piece of crap.
Do yourself a favor and just skip this one.

@bardolph77 I couldn't disagree more, and I don't really understand people like you who love throwing shade. When decent people dislike a show, then as soon as they realize this, they turn it off and walk away as their time is valuable. They understand that others might enjoy it and don't get a thrill trying to shit on them. Also, "Loving almost everything in the scifi and fantasy genre" doesn't make you an expert. You've lumped together an astoundingly broad and massive set of MANY interconnected genres and sub-genres spanning back over 100 years. Nobody loves it all because there is something for everyone. Even you. I'm an old geezer who's been reading and watching all the Sci-Fi i and Fantasy can get my hands on for 40 years, and can say that the more one learns, the more they realize they haven't learned anything at all. It's a very big world.<br /> <br /> To everyone else, I just watched Counterpart and very much enjoyed it. It is a "thinker fiction" series, in the spirit of The Twilight Zone from the 60's and to my tastes feels a bit like taking single episode of TTZ and expanding into a full modern series. Human drama unfolds through an interesting "what if" story concept. I find it fun and fascinating, and will definitely be watching each week.<br /> <br /> :: Bottom line ::<br /> If you want flashy action Sci-Fi, you will be disappointed. Worry not, there's an endless supply of that kind of fiction elsewhere.<br /> If you enjoyed "11.22.63" or "The Man in High Castle", you will probably like this show quite a lot.<br />

@bardolph77 just the J.K. Simmons work is worth the time spent, but I believe this might not be interesting to a younger less mature audience, hell, 15 years ago I would find this boring. I just watched Altered Carbon, and while it had some interesting parts the main characters could have been played by door knobs that the dramactic reach would probably be the same.

@bardolph77 <br /> Really? Is your extremely well-founded opinion based on 1 episode? Maybe you should learn that this is your opinion and also describe it like that. You write as if your thoughts are facts. Unfortunately for you that is not the case and everyone is free to think what to think of it. Please do not force your opinion that way.<br /> I think it's a great series by the way.<br /> <br /> Excuse me but just looked at your watchlist. How can you continue to view the series after such a shout? Whaha you've seen all the episodes until now. Masochism?

@paulojcduarte Hey now, I'm part of a younger audience, but am LOVING this show so far. Also a big sci-fi head, so I think the original poster may have been looking for something more superficial, regardless of age.

@bardolph77 <br /> This isn't a sci-fi show. It's a spy show with a multidimensional twist or sci-fi aspect. It's a slow burn with great storylines, real acting, and excellent music. As others have said, your watchlist is terrible and your writing is immature. Do YOURSELF a favor and leave the commenting to the adults.

@marathone Are you able to tell me, whitout spoilers, if season 2 has some closing, since the show has been canceled? First season was amazing and I hope to see the story ending with season 2. <br /> Thank you for your comment. Regards.

@andreas1138 It's worth it - I don't remember the ending, but enjoyed the series including season 2. I couldn't see a 3rd season and believe things had run their course. Enjoy!

@andreas1138 Yes, He's been an actor whose career has been on an upward trajectory, since that Aussie Prison film, which is my 1st memory of him.

This series has earned a spot in my "Top TV Series" list. It is a spy thriller with a SciFi premise. However, once the premise is established in the first episode it is all spy story from there on. There is a dark 50s bureaucratic vibe to the production and the action is a slow reveal. Fantastic international cast (J.K. Simmons, Olivia Williams, Nazanin Boniadi, Ulrich Thomson, Sara Serraiocco), the acting is superb and the mystery is captivating. Some great themes, like, "How much of who I am is dependent on circumstance rather than character?" I've upped my rating of this series from a 9 (superb) to a 10 (totally in) out of 10.

@andreas1138 Each season has it's own arch and to that degree there is a resolve but Season Two leaves it open to a third season. Here is a quote from the creator, “Hey #Counterpart fans, a bit of sad news… Starz has decided not to pick up our show for a 3rd season,” series creator Justin Marks shared on Twitter. “Fingers crossed that our wonderful studio, MRC, can find a way to keep the dream alive!" (Quoted in https://tvline.com/2019/02/11/counterpart-cancelled-starz-no-season-3/).

@nancy-l-draperI I hope to get a better closure than the first season, which can't exist without a continuation. Too bad about season 3, because I love watching JK Simmons. Maybe Netflix will pick it up :) <br /> Thank you so much for your reply and for your kindness.<br /> <br /> Regards.

Great spy show with a novel twist on the different sides of the game. JK Simmons is quickly becoming one of my more underrated actors who handles this show quite well.
As a mix of sci-fi and 60s spyshow I do find this serie hard to follow as we switch characters and worlds, have scenes in the same room but in different worlds. I found myself needing to think often enough where I was. It's not as difficult to follow as I found Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy to be at times though but I might say it's right up there among the greats.

A spy show with a sci-fi twist, Counterpart Season One is the best first season of a show since Game of Thrones. It's a slow burn that greatly develops it's characters and story lines, resulting in huge pay offs at the ends of both its episodes and the season itself. And the music in this show is absolutely amazing.

Counterpart is an unusual genre, somewhere between Man in the high castle, and Altered Carbon, but it is definitely one of my favorite show so far in 2018

Says this show was cancelled. Did it have an ending? The show Fringe did this same plot with it's last few seasons and did it well. Hoping to get the same quality from this show. I'm going to give it a try.

Not sure why I kept watching. I guess I was expecting it to get good.

They waste an interesting concept and under two seasons not really much happens. The seasons could've been compressed into one season. [spoiler]"Twin Cities" i.e. the parallel Earth and the first meeting of the managements should've been episode 6/7 S1.[/spoiler]
The terrorists and security/agents/police seem to be idiots concerning tactics and abilities depending on where they want the plot to go.
