The Booth at the End

[shijing]

This show has an interesting premise, and it's filmed using only one set (a diner):

The series follows the storylines of several characters who visit a mysterious figure in the booth at the back of a diner. Each character has heard rumors that this Man is able to grant desires, provided that a task is performed. Upon receiving the task, the Man's only other demand is that the character continually update him on his or her progress. Once the task is complete, the character's desire is always fulfilled.

Sounds good. What a twisted plot! How far will you go for your wish to be granted ?
Thanks for the link Shijing

Interesting, thanks Shijing: Reminds me a bit of the old Twilight Zone. High Strangeness in everyday life. And "be careful what you wish for."

Too bad it won't let you fast forward the commercials. :)

Yes, I forgot to warn everyone that there are lots of repeat commercials (at least if you watch on Hulu) -- very irritating

I watched a couple of episodes of Season 2 (didn't have season 1) on Amazon this morning. They're only around 20 minutes long.

I think it's pretty interesting, and still haven't figured out if the guy is actually consciously bad. He tries his best to get his customers to think about what they're asking for and why, but all to no avail. They provide a pretty good cross-section of the state of humanity in our modern era!
