    Living with Yourself ends before it ever really gets off the ground. Despite how much potential the series displays for psychological complexity, its approach is otherwise so uninspired that one wonders if it stumbled upon that potential by accident.

    I really enjoyed this, but the premise is a bit off; who doesn't want two Paul Rudds?
