Watch the new season of the night manager, starting January 11th on Prime Video.

Seeing them like that, he's destroyed everyone in that family.

Relative clauses (Restrictive vs. nonrestrictive)

That's what happens to people who live with a monster.

And today, we're counting down our picks for the most compelling lead characters whose secret identities and enterprises are the crux of a TV show's narrative.

I was supposed to be able to trust you, and I did.

In the interest of fairness, we are not counting superhero shows before we kick things off.

Season two of the Night Manager is coming soon, which is what inspired this video.

Jonathan Pine, who goes by Matthew Ellis in season two, is peak double life TV energy.

The kind of cool, calculated, secret identity stuff that had us thinking about all the other characters who live two steps ahead of everyone else.

Pine, who starts out as a hotel night manager, is persuaded into spying on international businessman Richard Roper.

Throughout the season, Pine learns how to balance being a double agent and appeasing the man in charge by acting like he fits in.

Upon the downfall of Roper, Pine should be able to rest.

But the appearance of a new villain drags him back into his old informant ways.

His return has got us wondering who else pulls off a hidden second life so well, they pract.

And don't forget to check out the new season of the night manager, starting January 11th on Prime Video.

This classic sitcom makes the double life trope wickedly fun.

A powerful witch disguising herself as a mortal woman.

Samantha endures the challenges of daily life with her husband Darren, while attempting to keep her spellbinding nature to herself.

I have yet to see a table lighter that works.

Conflict is at the heart of each episode, as wacky hijinks ensue as a result of our protagonist's secret identity.

I'm warning you, if you don't get control of yourself, I'm going to do something drastic.

While many series can lean into the thrills and drama of the double life, Bewitched uses it to embrace the comedic and farcical.

Wait, you're telling me you took a live person and turned him into a dog.

We'd go as far as to say this show influenced many similar programs to follow.

We're looking at you, I Dream of Jeannie, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and even Hannah Montana.

Now, how about taking me out to celebrate?

Finally face the truth about who you are, James.

All of New York law enforcement is after the elusive kingpin known only as Ghost.

Little do they realize family man and club owner James St. Patrick is looking to go legit.

As much as he already has to hide from his wife and kids, he ends up reconnecting with an ex girlfriend who happens to be a federal prosecutor on Ghost's trail.

Power is powered by St Patrick's cunning, separation and navigation of often literally cutthroat enterprises.

But the inevitable consequences are steep.

The show itself built an empire of spin offs about criminal associates leading their own double lives.

Still, none can measure up to the layered tragedy that started it all.

I wonder if you'd mind taking a brief survey.

What about a double life that the person living it doesn't even know about?

Mark Scout works for Lumen Industries, whose severance procedure allows employees to take a shift with their any consciousness and enjoy the rest of the day with the Audi.

It's hard to imagine a better working situation for one party.

Alas, it means that the Innies entire life literally revolves around the office.

Matters of the heart ultimately disillusion both marks who embark on parallel journeys to unravel Lumon's dark secrets.

It's tricky with our heroes split perceptions and interests.

But deft characterization raises compelling satire and philosophies about identity, existence and the corporate grind.

And with Adam Scott's nuanced performances, Severance is also an incomparable dual character study.

I have to weave with a ballad of Ambrose and Gunnel.

A man like you, I'd follow into combat blindfolded.

It initially seems that marketing executive Don Draper is living the quintessential 1960s double life.

He skillfully distances his wife and children from his business affairs, never mind the romantic ones.
