I'm glad someone else in this universe watched Counterpart. That show was amazing.

it was so good. really depressing when they cancelled it…but I guess inevitable given how little attention it attracted.

Am I crazy or did they not advertise that show at all?

I'm not sure...it didn't get almost any think piece/cultural coverage though, which is weird considering how respected Simmons is.

it was not based on a legacy property, which maybe hurt? I just don't know.

Starz cancels shows really fast. I liked the show Boss, with Kelsey Grammar as a dying old school Chicago pol, and that went two seasons. Ash vs. Evil Dead. They just don't stick with shows unless 50 Cent is producing them.

I give the writers credit for wrapping up Counterpart well in two seasons. But that show was the best show on television and nobody knew it.

I WEPT when Counterpart was cancelled. That was an incredible show and Starz sucks because we get umpteen seasons of Power and just two of that show. And I think three seasons of Ash vs. Evil Dead.

Totally agree re: Counterpart. I adored it. Mad respect for Simmons; good to know not to be tempted with this film.
