What might be different if a person could co-exist in an alternate world? Howard Silk, a low-level agent whose career is winding down at a Berlin-based United Nations spy agency, unwittingly learns the answer. Upon discovering his organization is harboring a secret, that of a gateway to a parallel dimension, Howard becomes immersed in a mysterious world of espionage, intrigue, and government conspiracies. There, the only man Howard can trust is Prime, his almost identical counterpart from a divergent reality.

Basically an espionage thriller with parallel universes! (best pitch for a show ever) I just watched the first episode, I'm intrigued. Looks to have been well received so far for its first couple of episodes and it's already been ordered for 2 seasons too.

The season is halfway through now and I'm really into it. A bit of a slow burn but I don't mind that, especially when a second season is already confirmed. As much as I enjoy sci fi, I like how that element is really muted and it's essentially an old fashioned espionage story, just between alternate universes rather than countries. It could have been more cheesy but it's very grounded, and the slowly developing mystery is really intriguing.

A shame how under the radar it is.

I wasn't completely enamoured with the finale. It was an absolutely fine episode, I just thought it was a little anticlimactic as a finale and that earlier episodes were more exciting. Also disappointed that
Spoiler:

Pope
is dead, my favourite character throughout season 1.

Still, can't wait for season 2.

Got caught up on the first 4 episodes of season 2 yesterday. Enjoying it even more than the first So much mystery and intrigue, can't wait to see where the story goes.

I'll be so annoyed if it's cancelled like I fear because of how under the radar it is.
