Counterpart Recap: Inside Out

Season: 2 / Episode: 1 (11) / Starz ***Spoilers be having amnesia just to finally remember they were a horrible person. Previous COUNTERPART recaps are here*** Maaaan, listen. Season two gonna open with the Hal 9000 machine asking someone if they believe in God. That ain’t ominous or anything. Before we even see this woman, she giving the automated voice push back like, “I pray at the church of Nunya.” And oh shit, we got us a Black woman leading this shit off? Well now you have my attention. They got your girl hooked up to a lie detector talkin’ about she former FBI, counter-intelligence. Basically, she been finding spies since Howard Prime was a naïve dude reading Yeats and ordering English Breakfast tea at cafes. And that’s the problem. Management bringing her in to fins the spies from Prime. Sheeeeeeiiiiiit. She says she’s so good at catching spies, because she knows what it means to be outsider and Living in America starts playing in the background. They drop that knowledge on her that this spy game ain’t just international, its trans-dimensional. I don’t know who this confident Black woman is, but she in the game now.
