Jun 15, 2018 | Full Review… Justin Burke The Australian Top Critic Counterpart is more than a trending topic. It feels like a series that's here to stay. Jan 18, 2018 | Rating: A- | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic There are elements that don't work in Counterpart, and more of them with each passing episode, but Simmons keeps it often riveting. It's a performance you simply have to see. Actually, it's two. Jan 17, 2018 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic Not everything meshes entirely smoothly, but the series' style and substance are apparent from the start. Jan 26, 2018 | Rating: A- | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic Throughout all the setup of this riven world, imagined by show creator Justin Marks, Simmons shines. His performance as both Howards is endlessly entertaining, and it kept me engaged in the story even when I wasn't certain exactly what was happening. Jan 24, 2018 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic What makes the show work is that it invests very little in selling the science of this concept, choosing to craft a taut, suspenseful spy thriller rather than a more fantastical work of science fiction. Jan 22, 2018 | Full Review… Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic Top Critic [It's] a percipient, resolute and magnetic tale of what is and what may be is in the offing from the series produced by MRC. Jan 5, 2019 | Full Review… Dominic Patten Deadline Hollywood Daily An engrossing, intelligent and adult science-fiction drama. Dec 3, 2018 | Full Review… Cameron K. McEwan Digital Spy A brilliant performance by Simmons, as well as incredible worldbuilding from Marks, delivers one of the best thrillers on television.
