TV: My Own Worst Enemy

[Munsu]

New show with Christian Slater that I'm sure many of you are tired of seeing those NBC promos of already (especially during the Olympics). It deals with Christian Slater having some form of split personality, one that is a family man and one that is some hardcore secret agent. But it's a bit more tricky than that.

Anyways, although I was going to give this show a chance, I really didn't think it would be good... but I have to say that the first episode was much better than I expected, and at times quite violent, which is always a plus for me. Overall it was a fun pilot, and I'll surely keep watching this series.

Any of you seen it yet?

Edward Albright is a super spy. Henry Spivey is living the normal American dream in the suburbs with his wife, two kids and dog. The two men have one thing in common - they share the same body because Edward took part in an experiment several years earlier to create a split personality. Henry has never met his alter-ego Edward, except for an email he receives from Edward saying that people are coming to kill him. Now, the super spy and the suburban daddy have to learn to live with each other in the same body and not get each other killed.

My Own Worst Enemy is produced by Universal Media Studios. It has been given a 13 episode initial order by NBC.

Just watched it. It's OK, I'm not a big fan of Christian Slater, his voice kinda gets on my nerves.

But, honestly what were they thinking about using that split-personality technology? It seems extremely disadvantageous, like shown in this episode. I guess it's just supposed to be a way to relieve Edward's insomnia problems? Seems a little too drastic and dangerous.
