Editorial Review:
Henry (Christian Slater) is a middle-class efficiency expert living a humdrum life in the suburbs with his wife, kids, dog, and a minivan. Edward (Slater) is an operative who speaks 13 languages, runs a four-minute mile, and is trained to kill. The one thing Henry and Edward have in common is they share the same body. But when the carefully constructed wall between them breaks down, these polar opposites are thrust into unfamiliar territory where each man is dangerously out of his element. Also starring Alfre Woodard (Desperate Housewives), Mike O’Malley (Yes Dear), Mädchen Amick (Gossip Girl) and Taylor Lautner (Twilight), plus powerful guest stars such as James Cromwell (LA Confidential).
My Own Worst Enemy: The Complete Series Reviews:
Great series! 
2009-11-22 - I absolutely love this series. I didn't catch it on tv, but saw many episodes [...] and then decided to buy it. Christian is fab in this. Love the two different worlds and the tech in this. 24 meets Alias.
Only ONE chance to make a first impression..... 
2009-06-25 - I missed this when it aired.....the commercials just didn't appeal to me and made it look messy from a story standpoint. I found it deeply discounted at my local record store as used and picked it up figuring I'd watch an episode a day with my workout. The first episode (which I assume was the pilot) I felt was a complete mess...and too full of exposition for its brief 43 minutes we got what would have been much better fleshed out over a 2 hour airing. I just about gave up but watched the second episode and it started to slow down, develop some story and characters and make a small amount of sense...but I believe in our society...that was too late. As the episodes evolve I am enjoying the story arc but I think its still a bit "alias wannabee" and there are just a couple of plot holes too large for my adult brain to get around. Its fun and enjoyable but I can certainly understand why it would most likely have a HUGE budget and need big ratings to make that all worthwhile.
If you like Christian Slater (I'm not particularly a fan of mini-men actors who play tough and imitate Jack Nicholson)...you will be pleased. If you want a less than brilliant action soap opera espionage show with high production values ....if purchased for 10 bucks its a good bit of fun.
I can't believe they canceled this show!
2009-06-23 - My family and I do not get broadcast TV in our house. However, we are avid watchers of movies and certain TV shows on DVD. I found My Own Worst Enemy through an Amazon recommendation. When it arrived, my husband and I started to watch it, not really expecting much. We ended up watching the entire series in one sitting - last night. I can't believe they canceled the show. It was original in concept (to me) and characters engaging. A fun series for fans of spy thrillers with a twist.
I hope NBC reconsiders and bring back the show. I want season 2.
perfect
2009-06-05 - It got her in the amount of time that I was told I would like to get more items from this person again.
more corporate GREED! 
2009-05-04 - I LOVE this series. I HATE the way the "suits" let this end. 5 stars for the series... ZERO stars for the "SUITS"! It was such a disappointment to see the episodes again and see the story heat up, only to be kicked in the teeth by corporate greed at the end... This isn't even a cliffhanger... this is just waking up in the middle of a dream and never knowing the whole story...
