Featured review
Just like a lot of other reviewers, I wondered loudly "WHAT?? Only 2 seasons?? WHY?"
I was drawn in half way through the first episode! I found Counterpart on Amazon Prime and wondered why I'd never heard of the show. I have Starz and I do not remember ever seeing this. I love J. K. Simmons! I would remember this show!
Anyway, I searched "why did Starz cancel Counterpart?"
Oh. My. Wait until you see this.
The reason for canceling, is the reason Starz really needs new people running the company.
Per Deadline - "Starz COO Jeffrey Hirsch addressed the cancellation at the TCA summer press tour and admitted that the show's audience was "too male" to fit into its new female-focused strategy" (oh wait. It gets better) "Counterpart was a great show, we had great partners in MRC and Justin is a great writer, but it was a very complicated show, a very male show." (yes, really 😳)
So, ladies, you're just not bright enough to follow this "very complicated show", it's for guys only, honey, so get in there and make a sandwich for me while I watch the last episode of Counterpart. Chop chop! Oh, and a beer...
I'm a woman. I managed to follow the story.
Jeffery Hirsch, you are an idiot.
