Henry Spivey, an efficiency expert, lives a typical suburban life, right down to the wife, two kids, dog, and minivan. In contrast, Edward Albright is a lethal, multilingual operative. It would seem the two men have nothing in common -- except for the fact that they inhabit the same body. When each personality finds himself out of his element, things go awry.
Watch "My Own Worst Enemy"
I like Christian Slater and I think he does very, very well portraying
both Edward and Henry. The whole premise is very interesting and the
first few episodes peaked my interest as to where they would be taking
this. Then they made a fatal error and allow Tom to be too visible and
then the very fatal error of involving his wife. It was one thing to
have Henry/Edward's wife involved, she at least is an essential
character. But to involve Tom's wife well who cares! So now I don't
know what to do about this show. Like Journeyman, of which I was a big
fan, I wish the writers would do a better job and I wish the networks
would give the shows a fighting chance by insisting on tight scripts.
But I know it's all about the money and low rating means no money so
good and potentially good shows are canceled. I fear the same thing
will happen here if the writing and the ratings don't pick up.
