This show has had quite the high profile prior to its release, which is understandable given how charming and beloved Paul Rudd is. This first season doesn't quite match the heights of that anticipation, for me anyway, but it was funny and endearing enough for me to enjoy it.
Miles Elliot (Rudd) is stuck in a rut, bored professionally and struggling to connect with his wife, Kate (Aisling Bea). Desperate, he agrees to a "spa break" that he's told will make him the best version of himself. What he doesn't appreciate is that this will be done by creating a perfect genetic clone of him and killing the original. The process goes wrong and two versions of Miles, with identical memories, come into existence.
I felt that everything about the season was fine. It's nicely shot, with its quirky indie movie sensibilities. It's a smart premise and I like that it doesn't spend too long indulging with the obvious way the plot could have gone. There's only a little time spent on the conceit of the pair trying to convince their nearest and dearest that they are one person. Instead the situation is discovered and everyone tries to come to terms with their positions in this new scenario. I love Aisling Bea, she's a fantastic comedian and everything she does in this is great. Vulnerable and appealing, she really feels like a character you would fight for. I also really liked the time shifting conceit of the show, with each episode alternating focus on a different Miles and seeing, or re-seeing events from another point of view.
But "fine" is about where my praise would end. It's not quite funny, or dramatic, or clever enough to earn a more ebullient recommendation from me. However, an extra star is earned solely by the goodwill that Paul Rudd earns with his natural charm. There doesn't need to be a second season, but if there is I'd be back.
