'Counterpart' Season 2 Episode 5 review: The parallels in Peter Quayle's Prime and Alpha life stories reveal some dark secrets
STARZ Justin Marks-created series, 'Counterpart', is back with its second season and the harrowing tale of the Prime world and the Alpha world has taken a far riskier turn. Starring J.K. Simmons as Howard Silk, Olivia Williams as Emily Burton Silk, Harry Lloyd as Peter Quayle, Nanzanin Bonaidi as Clare, and Sara Serriaocco as Baldwin, the second season has been tracing the Prime world's interference with the Alpha world, and the parallels have been most prominent in episode five which aired on January 6.
The fifth episode gave a brief history into who Peter Quayle really is and concentrated on the backstory of the character. The episode managed to join the strings between the two Peters making them seem like almost the same being with two bodies.
