Episode 201

A solid start, but the show is still a little bit too confusing for my liking. Not sure if that was by design or not.

The acting is solid amidst the wild premise though.

I don't know what the shelf life for Counterpart is so we have to see if there is any actual drama this season or if they just kill time.

The Seen and the Unseen

I have to agree with a previous reviewer. There are so many balls in the air now that it's really hard to know who is dissin' who. What are the current loyalties. Also, when it comes to two entire worlds (not just a gate in Berlin) how do they avoid cross contamination without upsetting the order. There are spies and possible counterspies out there. And how was the virus really introduced. Perhaps it was an act of nature. Can this all be sustained through another entire season. I admit that first episode was quite good. I'll hang in until the end.

Good but Betty Gabriel ruined the 2nd season.

Seriously, a bad fit for her character in this series. I cant believe for a second that she is any type of hunter. Let alone a human hunter hahaha. It's incredibly laughable. She should stick to her unintelligent roles like in Get Out.

Outside In

'Inside Out' is a solid start for the second season. Aldrich is dead, and Quayle has presented him as the mole inside the agency. Emily comes home from the hospital. She has problems with her memory, and she struggles to come in terms with who she is. Quayle's agreement with Prime Howard is starting to falter when Howard sees a suspicious man lurking outside of his apartment building. There is also a new person in the agency - a former FBI agent Naya Temple whose specialty is to find out the spies. She was hired by the management because there are still suspicions that agents from the other side are working in the agency.

By the end of the first season, we got to know why Prime World is trying to cause havoc in Alpha World. And it was made pretty clear that the sabotage was organized by a rogue agency. The door between the two worlds is closed, all the diplomacy is abandoned. The agents stuck in Alpha Wolrd has lost all contacts with their home. We also learn that the ring of spies is much bigger. Now the game of avoiding the war has become the game of survival, as Prime Howard has taken over his Alpha life, and Quayle still protects his spy wife and also his reputation.

'Inside Out' still manages to raise some extra confusion because too many questions were left unanswered from the last season and some new problems and threats were rushed in without too much explanation. After the explosive final episode from the first season, this one feels a little bit let down. Still, a quite nice start.

An exciting end to season 1...season 2 picking up on
jpapanone9 August 2021
Where boring season 1 left off.

At least give me some Bourne identity movement to feign activity .

More dialogue. Have them say more just so they can speak faster and pick up the pace.

I wonder how different this show would be with another writer director.

Would this be any better if let's say vince gilligan was involved??? Or would this be just as boring?

Gilligan can make a guy sitting in a car for 10 minutes compelling....yet this stuff makes a 1 minute scene feel like a 10 minute scene.

Do I hate myself enough to finish this through?

I think I'm gonna have to split this up over next few weeks... an episode at a time.

I have to watch one... go away from it...kind of forget how boring and slow moving it is before going back to it.

It definitely ain't bingeable.

Not all shows need to be bingeable... but for crying out loud.
