My Own Worst Enemy

Haven't seen a thread on this yet..

Thought this was very good.. very promising pilot and has the potential to be very good. Christian Slater is pretty solid in it... though I think he still needs to find his feet.

Definitely the more intriguing of some of the pilots.. was very well shot in parts and felt quite cinematic in parts.

Interested to hear any other opinions on it.

Finally got around to watching this yesterday. It was quite good and left me wanting more, which is exactly what a good pilot episode should do. The ending felt a bit rushed, but I think that's because the rest of the episode was moving pretty fast, with the ending being one of the only points where things slowed down. I wonder how they are going to keep things fresh week-on-week though, as it seems it would mostly just follow the pilot formula.

Funny thing is, I only just glanced at what this show was about and in my head I thought it sounded a lot like "Chuck" but it's definitely going for the action drama side of things, rather than being comedic in any way - lots more blood than in "Chuck" too. I liked it - definitely will be tuning in this week as well.

This is another "one to watch" like Fringe and 11th Hour. Took a while to get what was going on, but it's worth watching all the way through to the end.

I had no idea what it was going to be about, didn't read a single thing on it before watching. I just like to get everything new and just check them out. Happy with this one.

I was apprehensive after reading the largely very negative reviews on AintItCoolNews.com last week but Metacritic reviews are much more positive (though very ranged - start at a top rating of 100 :eek: but go down as far as 30).

Definitely promising though.

Watched the first couple of episodes enjoying it so far. I hadn't a clue what it was about and didn't expect anything. It well worth a look for anyone who hasn't been watching it yet.

NBC has reportedly axed Christian Slater's My Own Worst Enemy and comedy drama Lipstick Jungle.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, sinking ratings for both shows during recent weeks prompted the decision.

Both programmes are produced by Universal Media Studios.

Spy thriller My Own Worst Enemy was expected to be a hit for the broadcaster after being placed in the post-Heroes timeslot. However, with Heroes' ratings falling, the show struggled to maintain viewers.

Lipstick Jungle, which stars Brooke Shields and Kim Raver, was on its second season.

:mad:

Yeah, read about this today. No real shock really..

Apparently 'Pushing Daisies' might be in the can too!

Even though it has been cancelled - its starting soon on SCI FI if anyone wants to check it out
