a prophetic drama

The background of the story is very interesting. Although there are many loopholes in the setting due to the huge world view, many details are well considered.

However, the main reason for strongly recommending this drama is that it perfectly demonstrates the logic of the European and American world in dealing with the global virus pandemic.

A swine flu outbreak in a pair of mirror worlds killed 500 million people worldwide, and no country in Europe was spared. In the end, the epidemic was brought under control through mandatory vaccinations, wearing masks, and isolation. In order to prevent the epidemic, the public is even required to report people with abnormal symptoms around them.

However, the above epidemic prevention measures have caused the world to slide into dictatorship. At the same time, conspiracy theories of poisoning from another world have become popular, and secret organizations have emerged in the epidemic world and planned terrorist actions against the other world in retaliation.

How, like a story that started happening in 2020? But please keep in mind that this drama was filmed in 2017, and what happened today is nothing more than verifying the logic that has always existed and pursued in European and American societies. They cannot be counted on in the fight against the epidemic, and accusations and revenge are bound to come.

    The good American TV series I watched recently felt like watching a science fiction novel, not like a science fiction movie bombing with visual effects, but completely telling a story to build a worldview. Found a favorite actor Harry Lloyd.

    At the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall, a world was copied, and no one knew which one was the original, only that a hidden department managed the communication between the two worlds. But a world's resources must evoke desire, penetration, and competition is inevitable. In fact, the most interesting thing in the play is not the worldview, but the same but different people, the identities, feelings, and existences in different worlds. Mr. Simmons plays very well, and it is easy to distinguish between one person and two roles.
