I loved the premise from the get-go: a person who simply wants to change his life for the better gets an unexpected turn in the face of a clone of his. Sounds super fun, right? Well, it kind of does. Paul Rudd's dual performance as his bitter self and his better other self is brilliant but there are so many different ways this scenario could have extended to instead of the one we got - I watched the whole eight episodes back to back because of how insanely entertaining they were with almost each episode ending on a cliffhanger but in the end we had nothing to it. Shallow plotline, too superficial for an actor of such calibre as Paul (although if you look back on his filmography it would all fall right into place), so many roads not taken throughout and all you're left with by the end is that feeling of surrealism and absurdity this whole show is. Does it teach you to accept yourself the way you are? Yes. In a way. But there's sadly nothing more to it.
