Series Premiere: My Own Worst Enemy
Two men are trapped inside one mind in the new NBC series My Own Worst Enemy, which premieres tonight at 10 p.m. ET right after Heroes. In the latest component of NBC’s Monday night lineup Christian Slater stars as both secret agent Edward Albright and mild-mannered family man Henry Spivey.
An experimental procedure has placed a wall of sorts in between their two minds so that even Henry and Edward don’t know the other exists. The show encounters some problems right off the bat as Heroes’ ratings have been steadily declining since last year. It ain’t the lead-in it used to be. Readers, are you ready for spy drama with Christian Slater? Check out this clip from NBC and tell us what you think.
While I would have loved to see the clip – which isn’t loaded, apparently – I’m excited about seeing the premier despite some critical bashing. I’ve always liked Christian Slater and think the concept is interesting. I hope whatever inconsistencies are present in the premier get worked out as the series progresses. Unless the show is a procedural, the first season of a creative concept like this is usually about working out the kinks and finding its unique groove. Let’s hope critics and fans give “My Own Worst Enemy” a chance to do just that!
