Birds of a Feather

Season 1 episode 2

This show is stupid. 

They thought they had a good idea to showcase JK Simmons's acting skills & he is good at being a cool spy & also a timid office drone, but that's not enough to make a show good. They don't even have the two characters in the same scene the way they did in Orphan Black. 

So many things don't make any sense. The two worlds diverged 30 years ago. Finding a counterpart only helps for people who are older than 30. That girl wasn't 30 so it's nonsense that they would be looking for her.

Then there's the entire security part of the portal. They have all these measures for the dudes to talk to each other but then people from Earth 2 are able to just run around on Earth 1 with no supervision & no surveillance? How did the Earth 2 people get out of the building?

There's just too many stupid things on this show. It's not mysterious, it's dumb. Fringe did the two worlds idea a million times better than this show. 

The Crossing

Counterpart
S01E01
Season 1 Episode 1

The Office of Interchange made a big deal about Howard telling someone about their tie & then it turns out, they just let people from Earth B run around on Earth A without a chaperone. How did the assassin girl even get onto Earth A? They have so much security for A employees but somehow B people can just stroll right through the door?

He is really good at acting like a spy & acting like a paper pusher. Hopefully they will use some Orphan Black special effects so he interacts with himself, because he didn't in this 1st episode & it was very obvious.

Howard B's Lucy is alive! Why did Other Howard lie to them? They need to explain why some British woman married an American & they are living in Germany for 30 years.
