Counterpart TV series (EXCELENT show!) -WTC - 9/11 hidden message in the show?

Ok, So Spoilers are below. If you haven't watched this show and you enjoy this forum, I suggest you watch it ASAP!


















So, for those who are watching this, the whole 2 worlds thing is an interesting idea, much like the Fringe TV series, but this one seems more realistic IMO. It seems like I could be watching the US vs Soviets with each one being a separate world, and the border being, again, Berlin. From my view point, the USSR is the "other side", the one that had the virus, and the side where most of the show takes place being the US.

Now I've always thought that the World Trade Center was odd, especially it having the twin towers, almost as if they represented something, East/West, Communism/Democracy, This world/The Other World?? In the show, they use a building to move between worlds and they mention that the two worlds are linked but separate. The towers falling always seemed off to me, the manner and everything surrounding it. I'm wondering if there is some symbolism in the attack, both method, manner and target(s). In the TV show, almost the whole world doesn't know about the other, so I would suspect that would be the case in ours as well if something similar were a reality.

To me, the 9/11 seemed somewhat like a live production/act/theater in many ways but I'm not saying it didn't happen or people weren't killed, it could also have been the my age and perspective at that time, as with others, everyone perceives things differently.

Has anyone watched this show and drawn any parallels to real life?

It's a good show. Don't know about the twin towers.

But episode 9 is out, so get it into ya !

(I even love the intro sequence, gritty yet intriguing)

i stopped at episode 4.
i really wanted to like it more than i did. huge fan of simmons.
baldwin was awesome.

it just wasnt doing it for me though

Sounds interesting. We don't have satellite anymore, so no Starz for me. I'll keep a look out for it online. Thanks!

Thanks for finding this series, it is just my cup of tea for TV watching. Simmons is one of my fav's anyway.

I agree. I tried watching it but found it weren;t really doing the job of holding my concentration, stopped on episode 4.

I think you are talking about "The Looming Tower". I'm liking that one so far. Counterpart sounds good as well.

Love the show....a slow burn though...not one for those with short attention spans. If Quayle thinks he can trick his chief of security, he really is thick.
