My Own Worst Enemy

Image by Getty Images via DaylifeNBC has a history of putting out some great television shows. From 30 Rock to Heroes. From The Office to My Name is Earl. From Scrubs to Chuck. You get the point.

However this occasion has shown that even the might NBC can miss the target once in awhile. Their new show, "My Own Worst Enemy" with Christian Slater is just that, a miss. The story focuses on the split personalities of Special Agent Edward Albright. Edward needed a cover, so the organization that he was a part of created one. Henry. Henry is a loving husband and father working at a job that takes him on the road quite often, thats when Edward takes over and goes on special missions.

Everything is going fine until Henry "wakes up" during an assassination attempt and things go south. Not just for the character. There is not really any backstory given, and Christian Slater is just not likeable in this show. Then again I didn't find a single character that I could connect with on any level.

The production levels are great, but the acting and the story is a bit contrived.
