Customer Reviews

A run-of-the-mill detective with a tad of sci-fi.

Two separate parallel worlds distrust each other. People pass back and forth, acting sneaky, and they send characters randomly. Because there are two of each, one can be dispatched while the other keeps living; this avoids needing to bring someone back from the dead. At this point, the series has two solid sessions and a third on the way. J.K. Simmons plays the main character(s), Howard Silk, in 19 episodes, 2017-2019. If you like the good old espionage type who-done-it, you will like this series. Do not let the sci-fi part get in your way, as it is only a gimmick and in the background. Eventually, the series has a wrap-up instead of just quitting. However, there are enough loose ends that they could have kept going (2017–2019).
