COUNTER/Weight is the second season of Friends at the Table and the first season of the Divine Cycle. Set in the distant future, it follows a group of freelance problem-solvers called the Chime, who were founded on the titular planet. It draws aesthetic cues from noir, mecha anime, and cyberpunk, and focuses on themes of capitalism, the exploitation of pop culture, and the construction of political symbols.
