| Paul Rudd and Paul Rudd |
It's perplexing that some TV shows become so wildly popular that everyone hears about them and then rushes to see them (mostly to say they saw them), while others come and go without so much as a peep from anyone. I usually try to find the latter when I'm searching for a new show to follow. The one I just finished watching was a blast, and yet I never heard about it from anyone.
Living With Yourself, streaming on Netflix since 2019, is just one season consisting of eight half-hour episodes. It stars Paul Rudd, a low-key actor who has steadily made his way up the ladder of success to be almost everywhere. He's not flashy like Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise, but certainly just as talented. In this series he plays two roles -- himself and his clone. Watching it, you soon forget they are both played by Rudd.
While supporting cast members do a good job, the clever concept and Rudd's performance are the reasons you're there. It's dark, funny, sometimes frightening and over too soon. Enjoy yourself.
