I always figured that they brought the real guy back after one too many rounds of plastic surgery

Enlightened was only on for 2 seasons. I personally found that the second season was really, really good, but the first season was relatively uneven. There was definitely potential to be among the best, but I just don't think there was enough there overall.

shhhhh, you don't want to disturb them in their natural habitat.
