EXCLUSIVE 'Counterpart' Season 3 preview: Actor Nicholas Pinnock on Ian's unfolding story
The most compelling and the most vicious aspect of STARZ's 'Counterpart' is that you do not have a single character who can be categorized as either black or white. Every single character lies in the grey zone, and in such a narrative where every character is as dubious as the other, it is difficult to say who is the villain and who is the hero. However, that does not affect the show's basic premise which deals with two versions of the same world making you your greatest enemy, and in situations like this, you can only be a victim.
Starring J.K.Simmons as Howard Silk, Olivia Williams as Emily Silk, Nicholas Pinnock as Ian Shaw (a.k.a Wesley Pierce), Harry Lloyd as Peter Quayle, Nazanin Boniadi as Clare, and Sara Serraiocco as Baldwin, the show has been following the conflict between the two versions of one world, Prime and Alpha, as one version tries to take over the other. In this conflict between the two worlds, the individuals are left with no choice but to fight against their own versions until only one of them is dead. While almost all characters have fallen prey to the conflict, it is Ian Shaw who has been victimized by the Management since the beginning.
