My Own Worst Enemy is an American television drama that aired on NBC in 2008. It premiered on October 13 and ended on December 15 after 9 episodes. The series was produced by Universal Media Studios. Jason Smilovic was the executive producer; David Semel was the director and executive producer. The final episode ended with a cliff-hanger, and the major plot lines ended without resolution. The series followed the life of American secret agent Edward Albright and his cover, Henry Spivey, who had no knowledge of his double life. Albright, played by Christian Slater, was implanted with a chip allowing his handlers to physically switch Albright's personality to that of his cover. However, in the pilot episode, there was a malfunction which caused Albright's personalities to switch at random, revealing his secret life to his alias. Henry was then thrown into the highly dangerous life of Edward, with no real way for the two to communicate except through short cell phone video messages.

Audience Reviews

Rob 7/10 Jun 11, 2023
This is a really cool concept. A super spy partnering up with a run-of-the-mill civilian has been done umpteen times before, but here things are a little different as they are one in the same person. An alter-ego concept where the civilian side of the duo is completely unaware of his alter-ego holds obvious possibilities. Unfortunately, the revelation of his secret spy side comes too quickly to suburbanite Hanry. This makes the show run out of steam quickly and forward momentum falls flat long before the end of the series. It was good while it lasted though.
