I know it's kinda old now (2017-2018) but just watched Counterpart on Amazon Prime [View all]

Starring the always-great JK Simmons. There is only 2 Seasons but it wraps up nicely so you don't feel like DAMN IT when it ends because the writers thought they'd have more time before it was cancelled.

Damn good sci-fi story, much of which took place in the past (relative to the main storyline), and these 'past' things are slowly revealed over the entire 2 seasons ... little mysteries are made understandable, etc ... it really kinda feels like one big long movie.

The acting is all top-notch, takes place in Germany but not that much of it is outside so unfortunately you don't get a lot of the local flavor in terms of scenery but there's some.

If you like mildly sci-fi stuff (by that I mean it's more Bladerunner than Star Wars) and want something new to watch ... I recommend!
