Counterpart
Anyone else watching "Counterpart", which stars JK Simmons (JJ Jameson in Spiderman and lots of TV Series)? - it's on Starz in the USA, but my bro-in-law who lives over there lets me access it.
Up to episode 5 now, with number 6 to watch, and really enjoying it - information about the (parallel) worlds they live in is dropped into conversations bit by bit, rather than a huge infodump, so you have to keep your eyes and ears open.

Re: Counterpart
Looking into it, it seems Starz ordered two 10 episode seasons initially, so you have a second series to look forward to next year.

Re: Counterpart
I gave up half way through ep3; it did my head in. They have made no effort to explain how the world they live in works or the organisation that maintains it and instead they are focused on one story line and you keep seeing the same few people over and over again. It just doesn't make sense and goes against my "realism" factor. They are giving us any information or showing us enough of the world to make it real.

Still liking it.
