    Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde meets True Lies

    Henry Spivey a expert consultant working for a big company, is happily married with two children, seems to have a life most men would envy. And then there is Edward Albright a C.I.A. agent, who has his own pleasures of taking out the enemy, he pretty much is the next best thing to James Bond. Now these two men should have nothing in common, but they do, the fact that there the same man. Henry is a secret duel identity that was created for Edward, so Edward is like sleeping when Henry takes over. And Henry has no memory of Edwards action. But then Henry soon becomes aware of Edwards existence. How will these two personalities come too adjust?

    I just watched the first episode, and it seems to be an enjoyable action spy thriller. I hope it lasts about as long as Alias(2001-2006) did. The writers of the show I hope are brilliant if they can have a show about a man with duel personalities going for years, but if they don't, we'll they deserve credit for trying anyway. The Jekyll and Hyde part is interesting, you get the Henry and Edward part. Christian Slater is great and convincing has both personalities. He plays it has the same man from two different universes. I liked the series so far, I hope it will last a while, but if it doesn't, like I said thanks for trying anyway.

    Has some potential, but some episodes leading to fatal mistakes

    I like Christian Slater and I think he does very, very well portraying both Edward and Henry. The whole premise is very interesting and the first few episodes peaked my interest as to where they would be taking this. Then they made a fatal error and allow Tom to be too visible and then the very fatal error of involving his wife. It was one thing to have Henry/Edward's wife involved, she at least is an essential character. But to involve Tom's wife well who cares! So now I don't know what to do about this show. Like Journeyman, of which I was a big fan, I wish the writers would do a better job and I wish the networks would give the shows a fighting chance by insisting on tight scripts. But I know it's all about the money and low rating means no money so good and potentially good shows are canceled. I fear the same thing will happen here if the writing and the ratings don't pick up.

    I wish that they would make another season!!!!!!!

    I know that it has been a long time since it came on TV, but i just watched the whole season on my computer and i thought it was a really great show. I really think they should bring it back on to TV. i don't think they really finished it they just kinda left you hanging and they could make a really interesting second season if they tried. I think people would watch it if they knew about, but i didn't hear about it so i didn't watch it on TV it wasn't really ever a big show because y'all ended it to soon, but i would really love it if they would bring it back on to TV again. I know i am probably coming of as a little immature but i really would love it if they brought it back and i bet a lot of other people will too.

    Good, fun & exciting

    Don't know why they ever canceled this series, it was at the same time serious, fun, strange, elaborate, different and good :) This really had something that you hadn't seen before and Christian Slather was really a great actor for this, the main characters was an ordinary man for most, but had a "kill switch" in his brain so the CIA or who ever it was could turn him into a mercenary. When switched off he was a regular Joe, a dad, a husband, just an ordinary family guy, he is smiling, happy and awkward. But when activated he was a tactical killing machine, he could fight, shoot and sweep the ladies of their feet, he is charming, sexy and deadly.

    The problem begins when the switch is not staying in the right position at the right time and the family dad side have no clue about the mercenary side, but vise versa does. It is fun and exciting and really good.
