Featured TV Critic
Peter Counter is a freelance culture writer with relevant obsessions in television, film, and games (board, card and video). Trapped in a state of constant nostalgia and enthusiasm for well told stories, he is an avid fan of Hannibal, an unsullied Game of Thrones viewer, and convinced that he will never love another show like he once loved LOST. Peter is also the author of several plays, including an adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s The Rats In The Walls.Articles by Peter Counter:
