Is this the series from a few years ago?
yes, it was from 2017-2019. It's a fantastic show. 2 seasons long. here is why it was cancelled.
Starz COO said it was too male.
"
Counterpart was a great show, we had great partners in MRC and Justin is a great writer, but it was a very complicated show, a very male show. We had picked that show up and made a two season commitment before we'd honed in on this premium female strategy," he said.
"When you look at bringing shows back, it really has to serve that core premium female audience and if it doesn't we have to find something else," Hirsch added. "If it doesn't serve our core strategy, we're just not going to do it."
Powerful, smart women in leading roles? check
so, I guess what he meant was that it was too hard for women to understand. my wife and I joked about this often in the 2nd season when we read about the cancellation. i'd often say, do you need me to explain it to you because this show isn't for women.
