I just finished watching the series My Own Worst Enemy. The series followed the life of American secret agent Edward Albright and his cover alias, Henry Spivey, who had no knowledge of his double life. Albright, played by Christian Slater, was implanted with a chip that allowed his handlers to physically switch Albright's personality to that of his alias. 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 is 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.
The series finale ends with so many unanswered questions that a second series is suggested, however sources reveal that the show has been dropped after just the one season. This is so frustrating. The two characters, Henry and Edward, both played by Slater, are polar opposites. Henry is the meek family man and Edward is mean with a bad attitude and a womaniser. Edward may be on a dangerous assignment in a foreign land when he suddenly transforms into Henry, and vice versa Henry might be in the bedroom with his wife when he changes into Edward.
Incidentally, the first names match those of the two dueling spirits that shared a body in Robert Louis Stevenson's novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
