That and watch the title card get more and more weird as each episode goes on.
I actually really loved how they subverted plot lines dozens of other shows have done when dealing with the clone concept.
Examples throughout the series:
- Revealing the clone situation to the wife by episode 3. Then when it seemed like they were going to veer into calling the OG Miles some dumb twin name like "Kyles", Miles basically owned up to it and said his name was Miles. So while the rest of the company thought they were twins, his wife really knew. We didn't have to deal with tricking Kate the whole season thank God.
- There was going to be a start to some self improvement montage with encouraging music with OG Miles where things start looking up for him after he finds out his fertility test was normal, and he's getting out the running shoes but then they completely cut that short when the Golden Pencil people call about the new Miles's campaign and he goes back to his petty schlubby self.
- In the second to last episode it looks like new Miles is going to pretend to be OG Miles for the last episode but they abandon that plotline entirely because it's something we've seen a thousand times everywhere else.
I just fell in love with Aisling Bea...my God that woman has so much charm. Holy shit.
Overall nice parts, don't know what to make of it in the end though. Reminded me of Maniac (Stone/Hill) from the tone.
Don't know why thescene was necessary.FDA
highly recommend 'this way up' if you can see it.I just fell in love with Aisling Bea...my God that woman has so much charm. Holy shit.
Watched the first episode and was kinda meh on it. The concept is interesting though so maybe I'll try one more.
I agree Rudd made it all worth it. I also agree the ending was a wet fartEnjoyed it, Rudd carried it. Glad to see the dude from You're the Worst getting more work.
Didn't like the ending, but glad I watched it.
I liked it but I wish the tone wasn't so sitcom-y - this could've been God-tier if it had a darker tone on par with an HBO prestige drama, or even started off broad and cute and got progressively more fucked up as it went along.
The dramatic parts did work well though, Paul Rudd nailed it. Did eyeroll at the ending though. I think short episodes was a smart call here, I would've found it a lot less charming if it was much longer.
Also didn't care for the constant back-and-forth with the timeline. Felt like an attempt to make it seem more complex but just came off as padding to me.
