OT / anyone watching Counterpart on Starz

[Nitwit]

It stars JK Simmons, the bald guy from the Farmers Insurance commercials playing dual roles as himself and his counterpart. The show is about a parallel universe where some people cross back and forth between them through a portal located in Germany. The people on one side are at odds with their counterparts on the other. There is lots of espionage and some plots to infiltrate by substituting the counterpart person for the same person on the other side. It’s very complex in a good way. It airs Sunday nights, and I believe I’ve watched 8 episodes so far.

Anyone else watching this show. It’s pretty addictive.

Neat. Didn't Fringe sort of do the same thing with an alternate reality/mirror universe? Interesting you went with Farmers Insurance to identify Oscar winner JK Simmons.....

My wife started recording this show, told me she thought I'd like it. I do like it, but for some reason I quit watching it and haven't gone back yet - I plan to. I would definitely recommend it. Simmons is great in the role, especially since his two "counterparts" are rather different people, personality-wise.

Yes, I'm watching, but not caught up. It's intriguing, but could have a little more action. Also, the acting, especially Simmons, is fantastic.

Well done show and a nice touch in that they give it an East/West Germany setting

My wife and I watch it every week it is on. Simmons is excellent in the roles he plays. Same person on both sides but very different character. Very good writing and a good plot so far.

I was thinking Juno.

I was thinking "The Accountant" and "Up In The Air" in addition to Farmers and Spiderman.

Apparently one side of the parallel universe may have perpetrated some disaster/terrorism on the other. Good show. It started slow but now its rolling...and with just 2 episodes left.
