	Author	Review
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"[2nd Season Review]: A must-see show (...) Simmons, Williams and company continue to do excellent work"	POS
United States	Merrill Barr Forbes	"[2nd Season Review]: [It] is a much more accessible version of the espionage series with a genre twist (...) Season two has taken what season one gave it and polished it"	POS
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"[2nd Season Review]: [The first three episodes] feel like someone at the buffet loaded up on boring side dishes and ignored the amazing entrees (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"[2nd Season Review]: Marks finds empathy and momentum at exactly the moments you might feel lost (...) 'Counterpart' lends enough emotional oomph to its expanding story"	POS
United States	Kathryn VanArendonk Vulture	"[2nd Season Review]: What gradually, promisingly expanded into a more detailed image of the two separate worlds over the course of the first season is still essentially stalled in the same one-note tonal and thematic modes."	NEU
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Addictive, stylish, creative (...) A hodgepodge of interesting ideas that drag you forward into the confusing narrative, with one central and undeniable hook: J.K. Simmons."	POS
United States	Maureen Ryan Variety	"A smartly constructed and atmospheric spy thriller (...) It uses its graceful and well-modulated sci-fi elements to ask thoughtful questions"	POS
United States	David Griffin IGN	"The best new series of 2018 so far (...) There isn’t a weak spot in the cast. The show is visually impressive too"	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"Overall, 'Counterpart' is very, very good (...) It feels like a series that’s here to stay."	POS
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"Simmons doubles the pleasure, but 'Counterpart' is convoluted (...) Simmons shines"	NEU
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"The script is a masterpiece of manipulative teasing, for the most part (...) It takes time for us to acclimate ourselves to the show’s concept, but once it sinks in, we’re hooked."	POS
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"[It] is a clever and suspenseful if somewhat familiar mix of futuristic speculation and retro atmosphere"	POS
United States	Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"Excellent, intriguing and occasionally action-packed (...) It is also pleasant on its own terms to see Simmons (...) as the leading man"	POS
