Most television series only resort to the ‘alternate universe’ plot-line when they’ve painted themselves into a story corner — usually a really bad story corner — and can see no way of getting out of it other than inventing a alternate universe where the bad things never happened in the first place. The makers of this excellent TV series prove that the alternate universe can be used to add layers to stories that are important, effective and extremely entertaining. The season alternates between ‘our universe’ and the ‘parallel universe’ each week, with just enough threads left hanging between the two to give fans something to twist over week after week. The acting remains excellent, with Anna Torv really coming into her own (x2) as Olivia. The final episode, Entrada, where both universes collide, is some of the best TV you will ever see.
