My Own Worst Enemy is an NBC series that centers on Edward and Henry. Henry lives a typical suburban life with a wife, kids and a job as an efficiency expert. Edward is an operative who speaks 13 languages, is physically fit and is trained to kill. Henry and Edward are polar opposites with one major thing in common: They’re the same guy. Through some weird government-style brainwashing, neither Henry nor Edward are aware that the other half of their personality exists but when the wall in their mind breaks down and they become known to one another, some major problems arise.

Putting aside that my inner adolescent still crushes on Slater, this is one of the new series that I’ve been most looking forward to. Not since Alias has there been a really good spy series on and I’m hoping My Own Worst Enemy will turn out to be a worth watching weekly drama.

Below are video clips from the pilot episode and we’ve got some images posted in the gallery as well.
