'Counterpart' canceled: STARZ probably had valid reasons to axe Justin Marks's show, and we might know why
At its core the show managed to pull off a beautiful story about human endeavor, but it failed to look into matters that really concern a sci-fi
When talking about STARZ's recently canceled sci-fi show, 'Counterpart', let's just say it is a blend of a complicated plot that seems to be straight out of a John Le Carre novel, but lost its ground somewhere as it tried to wind up the story in a more H.G. Wells tone. With a mixture like that, even a show as great as 'Counterpart' can be easily miss with audiences.
Justin Marks' ambitious show deals with the existence of two versions of the same world, and in order to portray that we have a plethora of characters, most counterparts are either dead or are killed by the end of Season 2 (except a few, of course).
