'Counterpart' Season 2: Although Sara Serraiocco loves Baldwin's 'strength and determination', she likes to portray the character with 'real emotions'
STARZ's 'Counterpart' has revealed to us a series of characters who exist not in a single form but in two versions and the continuous conflict between the two versions is the secret subplot which forms the backbone for the show. The one character in the Justin Marks-created show whose struggle to overcome both versions and become one person is most prominent is Baldwin. Played by Sara Serraiocco, Baldwin is an assassin hired by Indigo to kill named targets as part of a plan by a hard-line faction within the Office of Interchange to replace Alpha personnel with their Prime counterparts.
However, when Baldwin enters into the Alpha world she comes in contact with her counterpart, Nadia, a renowned violinist who self-harms in order to compensate the guilt over her father's death. Her life takes a very different turn when she re-discovers her purpose.
