    Every now and then, Simmons will be back onscreen working opposite Williams or, as a new friend our Howard makes in his travels, James Cromwell, and Counterpart will spark back to life again. But far too often, it feels like a star vehicle determined to prove it’s anything but--and squandering its most valuable resource as a result.

The first seasonWhile it was still worth watching, I was thoroughly disappointed with the way the second season of this show panned out. The first season introduced a fictional world that was full of intrigue and felt entirely original. I was excited to continue watching the events unfold in Season 2.
