MY OWN WORST ENEMY



I just watched the pilot episode of this show, and in spite of myself, I loved it. I had mixed feelings coming in. I thought, okay, a spy show, I get, but an NBC spy show will probably suck (I'm talking to you She Spies). I wanted to love it though because one of the first men I ever loved, Christian Slater, stars. Plus there are guns and bullets and blood and shite.




The basic story is there's this guy, Edward, who is a hot, sexy, loin quivering super spy and I guess not a good actor because he decides to undergo some experiment (we guess) that allows his personality to split and his other personality to be his cover, sweet Henry. Henry's been living his everyday life for the last twenty years with a wife and two kids unaware that on his business trips Edward does cool, hot and sexy, spy stuff.


The techy part of the show is actually kinda cool and you feel so sorry for Henry you just want to hold him real tight in a bathtub full of bubbles with Marvin Gaye playing the background and some scented candles that smell like lilacs burning in the background. I think Christian does a great job going between Henry and Edward and although I'm not too sure exactly where the show will go next, I definitely want to find out.
