    • tv
    • Combines spy and science-fiction genres. A lot more in the spy direction actually. It's 4 parts LeCarre (lots of gritty Berlin atmospherics), one part SF-identity-munging a la Orphan Black
    • Really good performance by J K Simmons playing two different versions of the same person. [not really a spolier, that's the premise].
      • Although Kyle McLaughlin got him beat playing 3-4 different versions of Dale Cooper on the Twin Peaks 3rd season.
    • "The Spy Who Came In From the Multiverse"
    • Some hot sex scenes, but none where the person makes it with their counterpart. Maybe that was too much for the vfx budget. If that's your kink, I recommend the classic time-travel / narcisssism book The Man Who Folded Himself by David Gerrold
