@martlet I just don't see it. None of it seemed forced to me. They certainly touched on a bunch of subjects but the entire concept of things being "woke" is flawed in and of itself. In the context of entertainment media it's a label pretty much exclusively used to deride anything that even remotely covers a social or political statement people on the right disagree with.
I personally don't think it's a bad thing that media nods towards current social affairs and it's not a new thing by any stretch. Things like racism and sexism have been topics plenty of times in shows and movies in the past, but it's only now that certain people go into apoplectic meltdown when it comes up.
Very hard to watch as it’s in Japanese with English subtitles. Would’ve been great if it was all in English. It’s 2024, who’s got time to read. We all have busy lives and doing 5 things at once. This show prevents you from doing that.

Some mindfulness practices might be helpful for you. It's not the show's fault you're too busy. Aside from that, making it completely English would detract from the quality of the show. In fact, I wish the Portuguese was actually Portuguese but I get it's mostly an American show for American audiences.
Just to remind myself, if I ever rewatch this, to skip episodes 3 and 7.

@martlet It's a great show. The idea that it's "woke" is just the standard alt-right nonsense that gets regurgitated every time any show covers any progressive subject.

A customer tried, but Garrett turned him away.
I always thought that this was such a cool sci-fi concept, and it struck me as being quite original. I wouldn't be at all surprised if something similar already existed (Star Trek: TNG's 'Remember Me' has some vague relation), but I have a strong memory of being pretty fascinated by this when it first aired. It's still good fun to watch now, and seeing Christopher Heyerdahl in the first of what will be many appearances in this and other sci-fi franchises is always a good thing. He brings a calming but emotional quality to his work, and I was always jealous of his hair.

Wow, tough crowd. Don’t watch it then?
Mindbogglingly boring.
I am a huge scifi fan, I love almost everything in the scifi and fantasy genre. So of course I was looking forward to this, two parallel worlds where the protagonists meet and interact, how cool is that premise?
Turns out it wasn't, isn't nor will be cool or even interesting. It was dull, forseeable and an utter piece of crap.
Do yourself a favor and just skip this one.loading replies
@bardolph77 I couldn't disagree more, and I don't really understand people like you who love throwing shade. When decent people dislike a show, then as soon as they realize this, they turn it off and walk away as their time is valuable. They understand that others might enjoy it and don't get a thrill trying to shit on them. Also, "Loving almost everything in the scifi and fantasy genre" doesn't make you an expert. You've lumped together an astoundingly broad and massive set of MANY interconnected genres and sub-genres spanning back over 100 years. Nobody loves it all because there is something for everyone. Even you. I'm an old geezer who's been reading and watching all the Sci-Fi i and Fantasy can get my hands on for 40 years, and can say that the more one learns, the more they realize they haven't learned anything at all. It's a very big world.
To everyone else, I just watched Counterpart and very much enjoyed it. It is a "thinker fiction" series, in the spirit of The Twilight Zone from the 60's and to my tastes feels a bit like taking single episode of TTZ and expanding into a full modern series. Human drama unfolds through an interesting "what if" story concept. I find it fun and fascinating, and will definitely be watching each week.
:: Bottom line ::
If you want flashy action Sci-Fi, you will be disappointed. Worry not, there's an endless supply of that kind of fiction elsewhere.
If you enjoyed "11.22.63" or "The Man in High Castle", you will probably like this show quite a lot.
Filler episode that added nothing to the story long-term. Meh.

This episode shows how the two have grown closer, showed Ellie dealing with a problem on her own (two including Joel), and is world building showing some of the groups of people that have come together after the “apocalypse.”
Character A is incapacitated. Character B revives Character A just in time to save Character B from imprisonment. Yawn. Such amateur writing no wonder every episode gets reddit gold. This weeks mega villain eats meat. So he must die.

@htpcmac except character A never saved character B from imprisonment. the villain must die cause he's a pedophile who beats children did you even watch the episode

@htpcmac "Villain eats meat, so he must die" is an interesting way to characterize it when the villain is a pedophile leading a cannibal cult.
Very very average show. Made it halfway through the first episode and it just wasn't funny in the slightest. Give it a miss. 3/10.

@jontstaz If you only watched the first show then we cant really trust your critique
This one was the most PC episode I saw in this year. I mean I understand being a bisexual is an important thing to Rosa, but it is not necessery to put on display for a whole episode. We'd get and accept her sexual orientation if it was presented in a more subtle way.

@ibrakadabra This is how life actually is. Just because it's not applicable or relatable for you, doesn't mean it's not incredibly important to other people. Please consider this before dismissing a whole demographic of people and their struggles.
Great episode, but (minor nitpick) they shouldn’t have had Bella go from crying to being perfectly fine and the two of them walking away (and towards a lake? They gonna swim in it or something?) at the end. Bella should’ve cried a tad longer so it didn’t seem to abrupt. She also didn’t cry “Joel” like in the game which stuck out to me.
Again, minor nitpicks but great overall.

@misnomer There is a reference in an earlier episode to her being the only one able to decipher his handwriting, and I think he got her the job at the precinct. But this is pretty thin character development.

@ramadri This is a science fiction series (Co-Genres: Fantasy, Mystery, Drama, Thriller, Suspense), maybe you should watch an action series instead. This is not "Transformers" (Pseudo-Science-Fiction).
I like this show. I think it's pretty awesome that Steven Spielberg and Stephen King managed to pull off a second season. For everyone bitching about season 2, this was originaly a mini series. Not planned, written or prepared passed season 1. They were shocked it was renewed. I love this show and it had to eventually go somewhere. Although I do not like the killing Angie off... shoulda been big jim.

have you seen the date Sean posted the comment? it's 2014. so movie was in the progress that time. so it has nothing to do with you who voted after the release. It's about the people who rated the movie that wasn't made. And people do that often here.

A decent enough episode and would have given it 7/10 but being it has Clara FINALLY killed off/leaving the show(hopefully there won't be a gimmick to bring her back one last time with the stasis machine or something other before the season ends) I have decided to give it an 8/10. Such an awful companion imho.

@zdistrict I can tell you're retarded by the way you type.
[4.4/10] I really didn’t care for this one. All of the Roses were so inconsiderate and rude to one another, in a way that made them feel like they were reverting to their early season form. It really didn’t work for me.
Let’s start with the main offender. I actually like the idea of an emotional conflict where David is hurt that Alexis talks about how much she can’t wait to get out of Schitt’s Creek and Alexis is hurt that David isn’t more upset about her leaving, until the two admit they’ll miss one another.
The problem is just that they’re such frickin’ assholes to one another over it. David treating Alexis’s trip like it’s just a vacation, to where he’d have his wedding without her on short notice, feels downright cruel. His unwillingness to apologize for it is borderline mental. Alexis likewise lashes out rather than just expressing her hurt, and her trying to turn the fact that she accidentally booked her flight for the wrong month into a “wedding gift” to David so he can have his dream venue is terrible.
Neither of the Rose siblings deserves forgiveness or sympathy here. They’re just shitty to one another, and it makes both of them pretty unlikable. The one saving grace is Stevie’s reaction to it all, which is pretty funny, and the hints that she too is reconsidering her future.
Likewise, the Moira/Johnny story is broad at best and harsh at worst. Once again, there’s meat to the notion of Moira having a “near-death” experience that convinces her to retire from acting, only to immediately jettison her new perspective on life when she learns that her movie’s been picked up by a streaming service. But the way she entirely neglects Johnny and leaves him to get picked up by a cop for skinny dipping because she’s so involved in her own conversation with her agent seems pretty horrible. Moira is the character who’s arguably grown the least on the show, but even this feels like a bridge too far.
Overall, this is another disappointing season premiere for the show, which used to be something of a tradition, but one Schitt’s Creek had seemingly broken itself of. Sadly, that’s not the case. This may be the worst one yet.

Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, it just confuses me that with a long journey people would think they wouldn’t run into obstacles especially in a post apocalyptic dystopian world. Makes me wonder why Peter Jackson spent 11+ hours on 3 films to tell the lord of the rings(we’re not going to talk about the hobbit)when he could have much more easily spent 30-45 minutes having Frodo walk to mount doom throw in a ring and go home.
