Counterpart (Starz series)

J. K. Simmons plays Howard Silk, a White Collar Worker at a Government Agency of Fiction in Germany. He discovers that his agency is interacting with an Alternate Universe, which has another Howard Silk... who is an assassin.

I just watched the premiere, and I really liked it. JK Simmons is great Acting for Two; the two Howards are very different. It will be interesting seeing where this is going.

Alternate universes.

Is this the next Fringe? No, but really, I like the premise.

Oh. Cold War phlebtonium.

Do we know for sure the world of the main character is the real world, our world? We know the action takes place in our times (2018) but the computer technologie is old, no windows in the P Cs whose screens we had see so far... What if this is the other world...

Sorry about my english. English is not my first, not even my second language... I did learn it by watching tv.

Nobody else is interested in this series? Hard to believe.

We don't really know. The agency deliberately keeps modern technology from the prime universe; we see cell phones being stored before entering. The prime characters are somewhat amazed when they see smartphones.

Given that, I'd say the regular universe's technology level is the same as ours.

For some reason, they're skipping a week — the season finale will be released 4/1.

Season two premieres December 9, 2018.

Looks like Sunday's episode will be the series finale. Starz did not renew it for a third season.

Too bad. Although slow-paced, I really liked seeing J. K. Simmons Acting for Two.
