'Counterpart' series finale: Final episode neatly wraps up STARZ show, proving what a gem they just lost
STARZ's most underrated sci-fi series 'Counterpart' is coming to an end, and the finale will leave you with questions that will never be answered, given that the show has been cancelled.
Starring JK Simmons as Howard Silk, Olivia Williams as Emily Silk, Betty Gabriel as Naya Temple, Harry Lloyd as Peter Quayle, Nazanin Boniadi as Clare, Christiane Paul as Mira, James Cromwell as Yanek, and Sara Serriaccio as Baldwin, the end episode of the series has wrapped up in the cleanest and the most sensitive way.
Throughout the two seasons, 'Counterpart' has been trying to answer one important question -- how do you be a better version of yourself? Episode 10 of the second season, titled 'Better Angels', had an answer to that.
Over the course of the show, the Prime and the Alpha worlds have been in a silent conflict, with each trying to outdo the other by striving to be better than the other self.
In the process of snatching away what seems to be a better version, each character goes through several phases of self-doubt, self-realization, and self-rejection. In the end it all summed up to one simple answer, you cannot be any other version, but you.
