'Counterpart': 3 times Naya Temple proved she is the ultimate Prime in an Alpha world

She is a woman of color who follows Islam, and works in a man's world, but none of that has kept her from being the excellent FBI agent she is
PUBLISHED JAN 29, 2019

Muslim characters are often times stereotypically-portrayed on TV shows, but in 'Counterpart,' Betty Gabriel's Naya Temple is a breath of fresh air. Starring alongside J.K. Simmons as Howard Silk, Olivia Williams as Emily Silk, Harry Lloyd as Peter Quayle and Nazanin Boniadi as Clare, Temple's character serves as a bridge between the Alpha world and the Prime world on the STARZ show.

She was hired by the Management of the two worlds to keep a track of the functioning of the terrorist cell, Indigo. Her work at the Office of Interface brought her in direct contact with Peter Quayle, and soon Quayle's secret about his wife, Clare, fell under tremendous threat with Temple's arrival.
