Two

"Two" is absolutely brilliant and it's not "The Fugitive" made tv-show as many would think.

Ok, we have a man running away from F.B.I., but the reason why is different and his goal too.

"Two,", is the story of Gus McClain, a college professor with a beautiful young wife and a brilliant career ahead of him. Gus has everything he ever wanted - until terrible things begin to happen. He's doing things he can't explain, meeting people he can't remember and going places he can't control.

After the first episode, I said, "This show can't last long. If Gus continues to run away from the F.B.I. for 100 episodes, it would be as if the F.B.I are not able to arrest a person. And if he proves that his twin brother is the cause of everything, well, the show would be over!".

Despite this, I wanted to see it so badly to see what was going to happen.

Unfortunately, the show did end - it was not renewed for a second season by Twentieth Television.

Cast : Michael Easton was brilliant - he had a tough job to play two different (so different) characters and he did so brilliantly.

My vote : 95%

I was so disappointed when this show ended. I remember It being so clever and entertaining.

Once contacted the studio about when they would put it in syndication or release the Series on disc. They weren't encouraging then and obviously haven't moved forward.

Interesting to find your listing in May 2017. I was wondering how you came across the series at this late date. There are many ME (Michael Easton) fans on places such as Facebook and he is currently in an ABC soap, General Hospital.

As a long time Michael Easton fan (from VR5 or before), I was excited when this show was advertised. It was started from an idea by ME and Stephen J. Cannell. They wrote 12 episodes together. There were 22 in all. I'm currently trying to find the titles of the individual shows. The one in which ME worked as a limo driver is everyone's favorite. The close-ups of his eyes in the review mirror was a fantastic idea as his eyes are very blue. The stories ran along the line of The Fugitive, as have many other series, but this was the only one in which the star, ME, had to play two parts as identical twins. I think that by reading the other reviews, you can get the gist of the idea. People have long tried to get this and his two turns on Port Charles on DVD, but to no avail. Perhaps this has to do with ME, himself. He has become a writer and movie producer, plus his acting. He probably doesn't consider this to be one of his best, but his fans will tell you otherwise!

I taped Two on VHS and am just about to get it transferred to DVD. Dunno how good it will be, but anything is better than nothing. (No I'm not selling it, this is not an advertisement.)

In this TV series, Michael Easton played dual roles of Gus McClain and Booth Hubbard. McClain was a respected college professor until he was accused of murdering his wife. Unknown to most, McClain's twin brother, Hubbard, is the murderer. McClain becomes a fugitive and evade authorities, such as FBI Agents Carter and Forbes , while attempting to prove his innocence. Hubbard compounds this goal by committing more crimes in McLain's name.

The premise of the show is somewhat like "The Fugitive" and "The Incredible Hulk" combined. Like Dr. Richard Kimball in "The Fugitive", McClain was wrongly believed to have murdered his wife. In "The Incredible Hulk," Dr. David Banner, like McClain, is alone at the end of most episodes and at a disadvantage. Throughout the few episodes of "Two", there is a tragic theme. Had this been a successful series, it's easy to imagine a final episode where Hubbard gets the better of McClain.

I loved this TV show. About a lecturer on the run from the law over a string of murders committed by his identical twin that he never knew he had. Amazing and intense.And the credit score was so chilling and haunting. In fact that was what attracted me to the show.A pity the show was cancelled. Does anyone know where I can download the theme? I'll be forever grateful.
