The first season of sci-fi thriller Counterpart is so perfectly crafted, it’s one of the best seasons of any show in recent years. But don’t just take our word for it – you can binge-watch the entire season on SBS On Demand.
Now, the high concept series about two alternate worlds linked by an inter-dimensional crossing in Berlin has returned to mess with our heads again. You can watch the Season 2 trailer above.
With the door between the two worlds still shut, the Prime version of Howard Silk (J.K. Simmons) is stuck in the Alpha world, where the hunt is on for the interlopers that remain at large. A new ex-FBI operative joins Quayle (Harry Lloyd) to lead the mission – and she’s asking a lot of tricky questions.
A recovered Alpha version of Emily Silk (Olivia Williams) is also picking up that things aren’t quite right with her husband, who actually remains trapped on the other side, not seen at all in the season return.
And that’s just the begining. As this second season gets under way with more deals and double crosses, there’s also the sense that there’s a much bigger picture to be revealed. (Season 2 also available on SBS On Demand or screens Thursdays on SBS) 5 stars
