'Counterpart': Emily takes over Howard in first episode of second season

The second season is just as "strange" as Emily describes her surrounding to be, and it seems like secrets are being compromised.
PUBLISHED DEC 7, 2018

One of the many things that STARZ's JK Simmons starring show, 'Counterpart', can boast about is its actors who have not only played the roles of complicated characters in this world but equally convoluted individuals from the other side.

While the first season chiefly focused on the plight of the two Howard Silks who meet for the first time ever since the "Crossing" was opened at the end of the Cold War, 30 years ago, the pilot episode of the second season looks into the life of the woman who has been at the center of Howard's existence - his wife Emily Silk, played by an emphatic Olivia Williams.
