Rey's A Point

Season Premiere: My Own Worst Enemy

Spoilers after the jump.

Good show, real drama and nicely pits the problems of a split personality driving some of the worst things that the man does and some of the best things. It’s almost Alias meets 24 and it has a good bit of potential but I’m not sure if it’ll last.

The beauty of a lot of modern shows is that they intersperse either enough humor, a family element or pit the hero as the ultimate hero to make the shows have some sort of staying power. Slater’s Spy character has all the markings of a jerk (because his alter ego rode his car he went and rode his wife–true, its his own wife but it just had all the markings of Face Off’s Nicholas Cage character).

Anyway, we’ll see.

  2. Yeah it is annoying. It’s gotten to the point that the obnoxious burger king ad in Iron Man makes sense (“Two things I need to do: 1 get a cheeseburger…).

  3. Do yourself a favor, get a copy of “Jekyll” a BBC series on which this is based. Watch it. Wish that as good as MOWE is that it was half as good as Jekyll.
