The comedy series follows the story of a young man named George Eliot who faces a bad life and a dilemma in his personal and professional life. With the passage of days, George is undergoing a new treatment to become a better person in his life but finds that he has been replaced by a new George. With that new character, George revealed that his worst enemy was already the same in his life.
Paul Rudd and Aisling Bea are an absolute delight together, 'Living with Yourself' is charming, funny and utterly bonkers enough at times to make it worth your time.
[Living with Yourself] 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.
Part of me hoped for Living With Yourself to go darker that it did and another part wanted it to be funnier, but like the clone characters themselves, the finished product gives us a bit of everything and it works.
[It] needs to slow down and stretch for a bit, luxuriating in the ease of the idea. Instead it races into scenarios that feel forced. There's still a lot to like about the series and maybe it will work better as it gets comfortable in its own skin.
Series creator Timothy Greenberg keeps things amusing as he deftly rotates perspectives, illuminating different facets of hope and disappointment. Worth checking out.
One Paul Rudd is great, but twice Paul Rudd is even better. Ambitious, clever, dark & charming, Living With Yourself is one of the best shows of 2019. [Full review in Spanish]
Rudd is really good at being silly and goofy, but he resists the temptation to steer into that for Living With Yourself, which is much more dry and deadpan.
Not for nothing does "Living With Yourself" feel, at its best moments, like a sitcom, with all the energy and wild invention that comes with the genre.
