"The Institute Of The Higher Mind" is the name of the religion that is the central focus of this television series. Obviously that they use that name instead of "The Church of Scientology".In general this show is about a well know Hollywood Celebrity who just broke up with his girlfriend. "The Institute Of The Higher Mind" however holds fake auditions for a film which is actually an audition to be the girlfriend of "The Institutes" most famous member.The show is based on Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes real life. This show however needs to tighten its grip on the story lines. There is way too many people to keep track off. Josh Henderson is okay in the starring role but his acting range (so far) is as limited Tom Cruise's. What could of been a great show is muddled by "E". The show is not edgy because in reality they don't want Tom Cruise mad at them . If he is mad he will never have anything to do for the "E" Channel. That includes any type of interviews. That includes sit down interviews or stopping on a red carpet and granting one. He can also get the co- stars of his films NOT to do "E" when it comes to promoting a film. Next year I hope "The Arrangement" will have a more central focus.

I really wanted to like this show, since I love Josh Henderson from Desperate Housewives and the Dallas re-boot, but the casting of Christine Evangelista as the leading lady, Megan Morrison, just ruined this show. I watched the first four episodes but found her performance to be cringe-worthy. Surely, they could have found a better actress to play the part. She totally spoiled the show for me. Don't waste your time - so sad, this could have been great with the right actress in the role. She is UNWATCHABLE.

>>>>>>This review may contain spoilers<<<<<<A good series if you like to read a book while tuned to the TV channel. Also, I can throw out my sleeping pills now because this show makes for a good snooze medicine. At least that way your time isn't wasted entirely. Insultingly dense and perverse. The hallmark of unrealistic television taking another bad turn. Contract marriages are a defeat of purpose to such commitment. As great as fame and supposed respect may seem from the viewpoint of the less fortunate, being paid huge bucks to be something totally out of character is worse than staying in a strangers home. Oh yes, then there's Kyle West, one who tries to sell his character to the audience, to convince viewers that celebrities are never as contrary as the media portrays. Come on people, we all know how the media works. What better way to deceive others than to overrate a know-it-all. If anything, television programs these days are all about REARRANGEMENT(S).

Kyle West is an actor whose name can turn (almost) any film into a box office success. He meets a young wannabe actress, Megan Morrison, not long after he is left at the altar. She finds herself similarly at the end of a relationship.They hookup rather quickly and before she knows it, he suggests marriage. But the offer comes through agents and appears to be sponsored by West's agent--played by Michael Vartan--who is also guru, puppeteer and fixer to the star. Lurking behind it all is the Institute of the Higher Mind, a cult-like organization with an image to protect.If much of this sounds patterned after the life of Tom Cruise, it may be.The show touches on issues like celebrity privacy, how the film industry treats women, and creating your own destiny. A great deal of its appeal depends upon how much the viewer enjoys the main characters and the actors who play them.Three episodes in, the plot is somewhat predictable. Will it tell a story with emotional depth or will it be a soap opera piece, putting its caricatures through the usual moves?
