Howard Silk: [uncharacteristically assertive] Guys like you confuse words with action. I don't. So I will be very, very clear. If you, or anyone in your family try to take her away from me, we will be done. There will be nothing left to say. And believe me, Eric, the last thing you want is me with nothing left to say.

Do you think life is just a sum of our choices?
Howard Silk works for the Berlin-based UN agency in the Office of Interchange. He has been working in the same position thirty years and entertains the hope for promotion into Intelligence. Although he is good at his job and he is well-liked, the promotion never comes. Howard likes to play Go with his friend, and every day he visits his wife who lies in a coma after the car accident. Howard is a well-meaning guy with almost no aspirations. Some might even call him a hapless man. One day his whole life and understanding about the world will be turned upside down. He meets another man named Howard who is identical to him, but he is from a parallel world.
'The Crossing' sets a nice atmosphere and mood for the tense interdimensional espionage thriller. It starts right in the middle of the gunfight, but don't expect some Jason Bourne type action, although there is some of that too. The story builds up slowly but steadily and raises many questions. Without revealing any of the mysteries it manages not to turn things confusing. We don't exactly know what is happening, but we sure are intrigued enough to want to know more.
The very strong opening episode that is worth to see only because of the dual role of J.K. Simmons who creates magnificent two very different versions of the same man.
