Counterpart (season 2)
10 episodes
The second season of the adventure drama “Counterpart” with elements of fiction offers viewers to continue their journey through another world that is intertwined with our reality. Howard Silk, working in a small agency, which is engaged in the protection of a mysterious corridor uniting the worlds, accidentally learns about the existence of Prime. In this corridor there are guards, customs, special agents, catching illegal immigrants, as well as those who cross the border on a special visa, issued for several hours or days. These are, most often, business cases, and, moreover, not always legal. About seven percent of the population died because of a flu epidemic, and close contact with other residents, ranging from a handshake, is strictly prohibited. Another feature of parallel reality is that – it is inhabited by people who are the equivalent of a person from the present. Howard in our world is a clerk, and Howard from another dimension is an operative who comes to our world to prevent murder.
