It's fair to say it's a very entertaining series. It's easy to binge watch, specially due to Paul Rudd's acting, who performs two different personas in a very compelling way. The various scenes where the original Miles and the clone interact are quite well done and fun to watch. However, certain points must me made in regards to character development:
The original Mikes barely changes throughout the whole mess. Even after he supposedly gets his life back (when his wife finds out about the clone), he doesn't try harder. He's not better at work and he barely talks to his wife. What are his redeeming qualities, you ask? Well, he's a good dancer and he's better at having sex than his clone. Sorry, that doesn't make him a more likeable character.
Kate is very sweet and easy to empathize. However, the romance dilemma husband-clone was very poorly developed. She was already unsatisfied with original Miles and intended to meet other guys - and perhaps leave Miles in the long-term. But she so happens to meet the better version of Miles - the guy that brings her coffee in bed, dances with her and buys tickets to Paris. To which she says he's "too great and it's exhausting". Oh yeah, cause getting back to her sloppy unhappy husband, that barely acknowledges her existence, makes perfect sense now!
And the ending...don't get me started. It's a terrible parody of a family movie and it's just too cheesy. What will be season 2, then? Miles and the clone living happily ever after with Kate and a child? Thanks, but I'll pass
