Although the show manages to bring up some new surprises, I feel that the show starts to drag. These long and overly explanatory talks and conversations about relationships start to feel repetitive. They offer us new characters and new problems but they still talk about what we already know. I have no problem with slow-moving series but I want to see the cat and mouse play when the main heroes are chasing the spies. It sometimes feels that the writers aren't quite sure how to cleverly resolve the interesting plot points without the unnecessary action sequences so they fill up the time with Howard and Emily talk about the same things we already know about their past.
Although I'm starting to lose my patience, 'Counterpart' can still offer some exciting developments that keep me on the leash.
