Counterpart
New series on Starz - you can watch the pilot if you had On Demand.
Really dense series with a lot of interesting threads involving an alternate reality Earth and the secret agency (trying to) guard it. Stars J.K. Simmons (who I have loved as an actor going back to the early Law & Order episodes which was the first thing I remember him in) playing the same - but very different - character from each of the realities. Personally, I loved the pilot and am looking forward to where they take it. Anyone else watching? |

Haven't seen pilot yet, but looking forward to it. J.K. Big J.K. Simmons fan, I'll probably catch shit for this but I really liked "Whiplash".

JK does a great job of playing two very different characters (another testament to what a great, under-rated, actor he is). Seriously interested to see if they take this in the direction I think they're going to go with it...

hooked...
...two episodes in and I'm hooked. JK is freakin' great. Have to remind myself that it's the same guy - really impressive. Great start to what looks to be a fantastic series.

Effing EPIC episode this week. Up there with the Hatch Reveal in LOST.
Big gamble coming back against True Detective with an episode without most of the regular stars, but it was a really well-told story that reframed and highlighted an already good narrative. |

Yep, great, etherial series.....but honest to God, if I don't pay VERY close attention, I tend to get these characters mixed up from time to time...."Did he come from the other side or is that the other guy?"
