Counterstrike

1969 · 1 season

A sober, talky Cold War-era sci-fi procedural where an undercover alien quietly works to foil an infiltration, more cerebral than thrilling.

How it feels: Tense, earnest and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Conspiracy, identity, survival, isolation
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
