'Counterpart' Season 2 (spoilers): How Baldwin's storyline with Nadia is a reflection of the larger conflict between the two worlds

A murderer in one world and a violinist in the other, Fate chooses which version of Baldwin survives and which doesn't, and she never gets to have a say in it

The controversial theme of STARZ's J.K. Simmons starring show, 'Counterpart', is rooted in its objective to show how one version of an individual will always try to take over the other one. This topic found prominence in Yanek's story about the origin of the Crossing, but over the first and second seasons, one character's journey has been subtly hinting towards this theme. Starring Sara Serraiocco as Baldwin and Nadia, this assassin's story has probably defined the Justin Marks-created show's narrative in the clearest, yet most humbling way.

Yanek's story about the origin of the Crossing walked us through how the two worlds have been trying to overthrow each other since their inception.
