It is no secret that I love my spy gear, secret agents and a good mystery.For instance it might be about a secret agent who has been tricked and hanging in to take revenge while leading a dual life (Alias). By the way, Christian Slater<\/a> does appear in 2 episodes of Alias.<\/a><\/p>\n

However, the \u201cmystery\u201d and the conflict in My Own Worst Enemy is even more complicated. No, fellow fans of Alias, I haven\u2019t lost it. I know all about Sydney Bristow and her family background. But despite all the tricks and lies, she wanted to be an agent. She just didn\u2019t know she was recruited by the wrong men.<\/p>\n

Henry Spivey (Christian Slater<\/a>) is a family man. He loves his wife (M\u00e4dchen Amick) and his two kids (Taylor Lautner<\/a> and Bella Thorne). He doesn\u2019t mind working hard to keep the comfortable domestic bliss that they\u2019ve got going.<\/p>\n

Edward Albright (also Christian Slater) is a highly-skilled and deadly operative working for a secret government agency. He doesn\u2019t mind having sex with his target and then killing her on the spot. He is good at everything, including sex.<\/p>\n

The deal? \u00a0There is a chip in our Henry\/Edward (yep-same body)\u2019s brain- implemented by the agency and used at their convenience. When an operation needs Edward, Henry is supposedly sent on a business trip and our gentle husband\/dad is put the sleep. Edward is awakened and he gets the job done. Then the memories are erased for Henry and he wakes up. Henry isn\u2019t supposed to know about Edward\u2026However this dual life-one guy system hits a bump. Edward starts to wake up in the middle of Henry\u2019s life and Henry starts waking up in the middle of Edward\u2019s operations. The agency threatens Henry that they will kill him if he tries to talk about this to anyone, so he tries to co-exist. Edward doesn\u2019t mind sleeping with the hot wife Angela. He has a hard time with the mundane family life, though. And Henry is more than freaked out having to participate in the spy game. Especially, every time he uncovers a truth, it is more disturbing than the last. He also hates the fact that his wife is unknowingly having sex with Edward and enjoying it a lot!<\/p>\n

It might have lasted only a season (9 episodes) but it is definitely not because the show is not interesting. It has a great storyline and a solid leading actor. The rest of the cast are also doing a good job. Edward\u2019s superior is played by Alfre Woodard. That woman really gives me the creeps. It is not really just about her talent but the shady characters she plays as well. You might remember her from Desperate Housewives<\/a>, where she played the mysterious new neighbor who had one son locked in the basement. Edward\u2019s partner\/ Henry\u2019s colleague Raymond\/Tom (also dual identity-played by Tom (Mike O\u2019Malley). Saffran Burrows plays the firm therapist. \u00a0M\u00e4dchen Amick has appeared in many tv shows such as Joey, Freddie and Gossip Girl but she is most memorable in her role in Dream Lover, starring with James Spader. And of course Taylor Lautner who made quite a name for himself, playing Jacob Black in the Twilight Saga movies, Twilight<\/a> and New Moon<\/a>. He will continue his role in the two remaining movies of the series. But mind you, he doesn\u2019t have that many lines. It is Christian\u2019s show.<\/p>\n

Watch it if you like your spy stuff. \u00a0Christian Slater is also a plus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
