Paul Rudd lives with himself

Ever wished you can be in two places at once? To take just take the day off while someday else goes into the office to do your work?

Miles Elliot, played by Paul Rudd, gets this opportunity when he gets cloned in Living with Yourself. This Netflix series takes a weird turn when Miles, a down on his luck man goes to a day spa to become a better person. Things go horribly wrong when make wakes up in a shallow grave and discovers that a clone has taken over his life.

That is when the comedy starts, Mike wants his life back, but he does not want all the responsibilities that go along with it. New Mike steps up, but they start butting heads and only one Mike can come out on top.

The show is a lot of funny moments and is made better with Paul Rudd’s charm. He does great doing a double lead role and it is easy to distinguish between the two Miles. The fact that you only get eight 30-minute episodes makes it easy to binge watch.

The plot captures you from the start, because you just want to know what will happen next.  Living with Yourself is really well written, as all characters are fleshed out to the point where they become relatable.

You get to see what life will be like if human cloning becomes a real thing. They also look at the ethical complications of cloning and fake businesses. The series creator Timothy Greenberg brings something new to the table, instead of just reusing comedy materials from old shows and movies.

The show might seem family friendly at first, but as it progress it turns into something for mature audiences only. This is the Paul Rudd from Ant-Man, this is an adult role for him. Living with Yourself is an exceptionally good show and I can easily it being renewed by Netflix. It does end off with a major cliff-hanger like most Netflix shows.
