Counterpart (TV Series) Love the Lie (2018) User Reviews

West Vs Stasilaw

[joe12361 · 9/10 · 11 March 2018]

Great plot. Love the concept. Just started to take an interesting turn. Instead of blaming his wife though, by naming Silk as the source of his woes, it poses a deeper question: Is Silk really behind 'The School'? Or is this a cop-out so he can protect his ostensible 'happy family' charade. I'm guessing it's the latter, but it would be even more interesting if it were Silk all along. May be a bit of a plot twist, but am really into this whole universe now. Was a good move to go with the Stasi-esque versus the West dichotomy out of the historical reality in post-war Berlin. Adds some real-world credibility and plausibility to the whole scenario, but (maybe foolishly) would make you question the real reason for the whole Berlin Wall and protracted shenanigans that occurred for nearly half a century in the real world.

Love the Lie

[bobcobb301 · 7/10 · 30 March 2018]

Well, the show is amping up the action and increasing the speed of things which is needed at this point. For a show that was dragging I am now kind of upset that there are only a few episodes left.

We need another twist ending though, which I hope the writers have planned.

Wow! and Wow! Again

This is one of the most creative series I've seen. When the premise came up, lots of factors could have made it awful. Not the case. Things get cooking, including the destruction of a Nazi-like school where all but a couple people die, either by their own hands or in a shootout. The two Howards meet again and it's incredibly unpleasant. But the trouble at home for Quayle is probably the most interesting of all and that will need to be resolved as the series moves quickly to its conclusion. At least some things must be played out so the Second Season has a solid foundation. Excellent television.

Noble

Loved to see this ep as it made clear that counterpart was ment to stay for far more then the pre-ordered 2 seasons. The people that popped up of nowhere and how noble the still existing cast is acting made it clear. This will roll...

And Now He Loves the Lie.

Family problems, family problems! Emily Silk wakes up from a coma, but she is not yet responsive. Her mother arrives in Berlin to take her back home. Baldwin gets herself romantically attached. Meanwhile, on the other side, Alpha Howard must get his hands dirty with some real spy work, when he, Emily and Ian discover the school of sleeper agents. Aldrich makes the connection between Quayle and the Mole. Two Howards meet the first time after switching sides, and they both have something to tell to each other.

'Love the Lie' closes some searches while opens a new ring of deceptions, and raises some other valid questions. Like, who is Howard Silk? This episode amps up the pace, and it seems like the story is about to get some conclusion (well, at least some of it). Also, I like that they are finally starting to grow Aldrich as a real character with a past.

Sara Serraiocco horrid

[denny_greeney · 2/10 · 8 March 2020]

Sara Serraiocco "Baldwin" Good God she is such a horrible actress. I don't know how in the heck she got the job. There are so many more actresses that would do a phenomenal job..and you picked this one..really?

I think the writers and directors were like...

Ok. How can draw this out. How can we make this more boring?

We have enough plot for like 3 episodes, but we need to drag this out for 10 episodes, can you make it happen?

Absolutely.

Ok...ACTORS! Slow down your talking. We need every scene to take up as much time as possible. We need these episodes to last 55 minutes.

And our goal is to bore our audience into submission.

If a viewer makes it all the way through an episode without falling asleep, you aren't doing your job.

When people ask me if they should watch this...or what I thought.

I'll say...don't make me think or talk about it. It will make me fall asleep.

The name of this show should have been SleepInducing.
