An old-school spy drama in a sci-fi coat, recommended

The style of the whole show is more like a European spy film, such as (night manager, tinker, tailor, soldier, spy), the agent walks on thin ice every day, life and death, the muzzle of the gun is outside, and he has to keep one eye on his own people.
The setting of the parallel world adds a touch of light to the dull spy film. When I watched the first two episodes, I thought that the technological level of the two worlds was very different, but only after I saw it, I realized that the buildings built on the portals of the two worlds, The reason why the level of technology inside is so backward is for confidentiality. The computers in the buildings on both sides are so old that they won't reveal the real level of technology in their world, which is a bit self-deceiving.
The highlight of the film is its subtlety, which gives people a feeling of undercurrent and turbulent. All the characters' emotions are kept, and each character treats others cautiously and full of distrust. Only the old protagonist pops out two sincere words from time to time. Make people feel.
Seeing that there are no black Chinese now, it's very good, I hope there will be no later, I can't help but say that it looks much better than the copy, maybe I am older.

    The last episode cuts everything off and back to square one I'm going to live as you and pretend it's all right Again Peter and Howard agree there's no real right or wrong, just try to protect your family and the people you care about How will the two worlds infiltrate spies and exchange information? Diplomacy is no longer a means of communication. Indeed, this is just a complete piercing of the glossy surface.

    This drama is based on the copy world as a clue (not the usual world we talk about with relish). After watching one episode, I felt that the sci-fi feeling was very weak. It was mainly based on this concept, and then it became an action movie. ps: The place where the protagonist old man works reminds me of the place where the protagonist in the dystopian "Nineteen Eighty-Four" works.
