4. Counterpart

Want a show that is still on the air? Counterpart is the place to turn. The second season drops next month, and there’s plenty of time to catch up on the first season. This is a show that has a great deal of potential.

Counterpart will make you think. You’ll need to watch each episode to look out for the clues. It’s all about Howard Silk, a low-level agent in the CIA who discovers his agency is hiding a portal to another dimension. What would life be like if certain decisions were made differently? There’s a Sliding Door element to this series, but also one of political and corporate intrigue and drama.

While Howard lives in the Alpha world, his counterpart lives in the Prime world. His other self travels through the portal to find rogue agents and take them back.  As the Prime world spills over more into the Alpha world, more people are put at risk. Most importantly, Silk and his comatose wife are put at high risk.

One thing that Howard definitely knows is that there’s only one person he can trust throughout the conspiracy: himself. And not the “himself” you would initially think. He and his alternate dimension counterpart have to work together to get to the bottom of everything.
