Az amerikai sorozat a sci-fi, thriller és kémfilmek sajátos elegye, amely a mindennapi életünk felszíne alatt rejtőző titokzatos világban játszódik. Howard Silk – az Oscar-díjas J.K. Simmons alakításában –, egy ENSZ kémügynökség alkalmazottja rájön, hogy a szervezet már régóta felfedezett egy átjárót a párhuzamos dimenzióba, amit ügyesen titkolnak. Silk összeesküvés és intrika szövevényes hálójába kerül, és az egyetlen ember, akiben megbízhat, nem más, mint saját, másik világbeli alteregója. (HBO Europe)

An outstanding spy series spiced up with a twist concerning parallel worlds. The creators build on the characters, mainly on the excellent J. K. Simmons and slowly introduce the world/s. Cleverly setting the action in modern-day Berlin makes a nice parallel with the times of the Cold War and the Berlin Wall. The emphasis on tangled relations, layer upon layer of lies and intriguing twists is complemented by a good fantasy element. The conclusion serves well as an ending, but offers loose ends for another season. Just great.

An intriguing series that truly surprised me with its unique concept; the portrayal of two worlds seems like a perfect opportunity for a sci-fi film. I have to admit that the series moves at a slower pace, with not much action, but on the flip side, it delivers brilliant dialogues and outstanding performances, especially Simmons in his dual role. I'm starting to appreciate that actor more and more; give him any role, and he nails it with finesse. I enjoyed his two contrasting sides - one as a caring husband, and the other less optimistic. I also want to commend the writers; often in series, situations happen that simply don't make sense, but I didn't find anything like that here. The final episodes, naturally with the most action, were filmed very realistically, which is a big plus. We'll see if a second season is on the horizon; honestly, I wouldn't dive into it as the ending is slightly open, and I'm unsure how they would continue. I give it 79%.
