An action-packed slog
Robert Joyner
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

What a fantastic concept, writing, acting and execution of a series. Someone said J. K. Simmons should be nominated twice for his performance and I agree. It is always great to watch something that is not bland, politically correct, formulated and a rehash of the same old sterile crap.

Counterpart beautifully balances the notion of alternate realities and alternate lives whilst blending in a tale of political espionage. Certainly the framework this tale is built upon is nothing new but it works well because of the quality of storytelling, narrative, acting and directing. This is a thinking persons sci fi. Its intricate, it wants to examine what makes people tick, it wants to know how subtle turns of fate in seemingly comparable societies development can lead to markedly different attitudes and outcomes. its refreshing to see a series of this quality that sensibly uses a mix of European and US actors. A great watch. 8/10 from me.

First 5 episodes, culminating in the exquisite 5th, featuring Howard & Howard ... off the charts brilliant. Every award possible for J.K. Simmons. Starting right off with episode 6 to the end with a greatly diminished Howard/Howard ... straight into les toilettes. Sad
