I know that it has been a long time since it came on TV, but i just watched the whole season on my computer and i thought it was a really great show. I really think they should bring it back on to TV. i don't think they really finished it they just kinda left you hanging and they could make a really interesting second season if they tried. I think people would watch it if they knew about, but i didn't hear about it so i didn't watch it on TV it wasn't really ever a big show because y'all ended it to soon, but i would really love it if they would bring it back on to TV again. I know i am probably coming of as a little immature but i really would love it if they brought it back and i bet a lot of other people will too.

I would call this quite entertaining television popcorn fair. You really need to turn your brain off and I have serious questions about how long they can maintain this scenario, but for the time being it is a good way to waste an hour.The story involves Edward, raised an orphan, who joined the army, served in the special forces and eventually joined a SUPER SECRET organization who works behind the scenes to save the world on a regular basis. This organization recruits people who are willing to have an alternate personality created for them (in Edward's case this is Henry) and live two lives - one 'normal Joe' type life and one superspy, each unaware of the other's existence. Whew! It's complicated just to write a quick synopsis! It's pretty entertaining, but suspension of disbelief is a requirement. I couldn't stop wondering why, when one agent displayed mental imbalance, they merely erased her spy identity and let her live her normal life, yet when they suspected the same of Edward they were going to kill him. Wouldn't they just have a universal policy? And then there's this whole conspiracy of folks around him who are helping to hide his condition. Why? It only endangers those around him. His civilian personality frequently pops up when he's supposed to be shooting down an airplane or torturing a suspect. The biggest question for me is what is the possible advantage of splitting a spy's personality in the first place? This is brought to a head in an episode concerning Edward's partner Raymond (or Tom, in civilian life). Someone from Ray's past recognizes 'Tom', and of course, he has no idea what's going on. This actually does lead to one of the more amusing episodes however, with Tom's wife witnessing Ray committing murder. I'm not sure how long I can keep my thoughts turned to 'off'.Overall, this may be one of those shows that ultimately would have worked better as a mini series; I may be just one "we can torture because we're the good guys" speech away from giving this the boot.

I absolutely love watching this show every time it comes on Monday. This show gives me a break from reality which is a plus. I love how Edward/Henry go from one to another you never know what time Edward goes from Henry and vice versa, whether it be when Edward is on a mission and it risked exposing him that he is flawed from the design the company has when he is partnered up with a female agent or when Henry is with his family and Edward has to try to play the affectionate husband(by the way which helped save Henry's marriage). Both help out each other in some manner or other. Truly an enjoyable show to watch I just hope it pulls through to becoming one of TVs greatest shows.

I admit that I have never been a Christian Slater fan; never really noticed him save in "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves". I probably confused him with Kevin Bacon or some other "brat pack" actor. And then came this series! As both of his characters, named after Stevenson's "Dr Jeckel and Mr Hyde", Slater is brilliant. This is a reverse spin on the old book since Edward, not Henry, is the primary original person. It is difficult to decide which persona is the more surprising, the murderous psychopath decorated hero Edward or the Joe Average nice but bumbling Henry. The potential of this series is near infinite but I suspect will never come to fruition. I would like to be surprised and see "My Own Worst Enemy" succeed and play for many years but I am more than doubtful. The other actors are all more than respectable but Slater is a triumph. My wife hates the show. It is not a simple shoot-'em-up nor is it a soap opera. It is a very tense suspense series brilliantly delivered. No wonder I get uncomfortable watching it.
