Critic Reviews for Counterpart Season 1

• “Count me among the fans of JK Simmons…If you liked The Man in the High Castle, you will love this show.” – Justin Burke , The Australian
• “Counterpart is more than a trending topic. It feels like a series that's here to stay.”- Ben Travers, indieWire
• “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.” – Matthew Gilbert, Boston Globe
