    It's not terrible. The issue is it throws you into situations without giving you any kind of back story or idea of whats going on. Very little character development ahead of time. Most episodes you have zero clue why things are happening. Its not mysterious. Its just confusing.

    Other than a great performance from JK Simmons this show is utter trash. The premise is the most preposterous one ever. We have 2 worlds connected by a dark tunnel, why no lights? Couldn't decide on which side would pay the Elect bill? Next we are going to let foreign people from another dimension, that nobody is supposed to know about, just wander around unsupervised.

Couldn't decide on which side would pay the Elect bill? Next we are going to let foreign people from another dimension, that nobody is supposed to know about, just wander around unsupervised. Wouldn't it have made more sense to have the 2 sides just meet in the building that connects them? I for one would have buried it as it is nothing but trouble and the benefits don't outweigh the costs, especially when you find out why the alternate side is pissed off! i just get angry watching this garbage but now I feel stuck watching it to find out what is behind all the drama.… Expand

    I kept waiting for it to get better but it never did. This show is both confusing and boring. I won't be able to force myself to sit through the second season. The show is a bit reminiscent of Deutschland 83 but that show is far better.

    If you missed the first episode you'll never know what's going on. I must have missed the 1st episode. Something about good guys versus bad guys but never quite sure who is who or why. Still not sure who and why they are trying to kill howard's wife!

    The spy/conspiracy story is kind of a dud, but Howard's a keeper. [5-18 Feb 2018, p.11]

    It’s a slower burn than you might expect, but it also grows a little more rewarding with every episode. It’s one to keep an eye on.

    Counterpart blooms and grows as an absorbing sci-fi/spy thriller with elemental questions about how identities can be forged and changed by environments and circumstances.
