Dec 24, 2019To me personally, it felt that the screenwriters came up with the idea of two identical human beings sharing one life, and then got afraid of it in the process. The story has a great beginning, and you expect a lot of weird and exciting events to unfold, but they never do. And the ending, well, a true disaster. Paul Rudd is great, though.

Oct 25, 2019Fun premise that falls flat after the first couple episodes. Paul Rudd is fine, his portrayals of his selves is grounded with a simple binary. Feels like a washed out version of a Charlie Kaufman script that needed massive rewrites. I just wish it leaned into the weird of the concept more.

Mar 11, 2020As brilliant in the first few episodes as it was dumb in the last few. Which is worse indeed than if the whole thing had been a failure, because the beginning just ends up being a tease.

Takes a few episodes to warm up, and improves by the end of the series. But it never recovers enough to live up to the promise of its premise. Like Miles, Rudd bites off more than even he can chew.
-
Yes, the result is shallowing, but there is scope, too, for us to fill in the blanks ourselves. But that is what Living with Yourself ultimately is – a comedy that asks the big questions but doesn’t look too far for the answers.
-
Events are shown, and re-shown, from different perspectives and often reach far enough back to cause some confusion if you’re not bingewatching several episodes or the whole thing at once. The technology makes Rudd’s appearances with himself seamless – no dodgy shooting over a stand-in’s shoulder here – and it chunters along nicely, musing philosophically as it goes and delivering enough laughs at least to make sense of the casting. I can live with it.
