With two versions of Paul Rudd, Netflix’s newest show is anything but Rudderless…
If I could sum up Netflix‘s upcoming release, Living With Yourself, in one line, it’d be this: “This life ain’t big enough for the both of us…” For blessed as the world is with one Paul Rudd – who’s been in everything from Clueless to Friends to Avengers, seemingly without ageing a day – Living With Yourself sees fit to give us two Paul Rudds, who must now do battle to be the only Paul Rudd in town. Intrigued? Give the trailer a watch for a little enlightenment…
The premise is this: Original Paul Rudd™ is living a pretty dreary life, with a failing career and a marriage (to Irish comedienne Aisling Bea) on the rocks. Upon paying a visit to the ominously named ‘Top Happy Spa’, he wakes up with a new lease on life – successful at work! happy at home! dancing through corn fields! – with only one minor catch. Turns out there is a Second Paul Rudd™, who appears to be the sadder, more beaten-down iteration that the Top Happy Spa buried in a shallow grave (quite literally).
