Slip

Zoe's Lister-Jones performance, writing, and direction created a beautiful piece of art. I enjoyed the series from the start because of her presence, especially. It's refreshing to see sex scenes filmed through a woman's lens, and as an integral part of the story. By the final episode, I had a different take on the whole series than I did at the beginning. It was life-affirming, while exploring how easy it is to lose sight of ourselves and all the gifts in our lives. I love quirky, philosophical films, and this hit the spot. If you're a fan of main stream films, this might not be up your alley..

It's not perfect but it holds your attention. The focus is very centered on Mae which fits the plot, but the Gina and Elijah actors contribute some necessary counterpoint. Does not completely hang together on close inspection but it is still interesting to watch. The story is a kind of variant on a Groundhog Day sort of theme, but more serious and even a little full of itself. There is a little too much self-centered introspection. There are many varied situations, most of which are compelling. There is a good range of secondary characters which contributes to the interest. Overall, a good effort on a non-traditional story.

Slip' initially promised an exciting journey into an alternative universe, but ended in a sea of clichés and predictable twists.

The main character, who initially seemed promising, developed into an indecisive and passive figure as the series progressed.

The supporting characters were little more than stereotypes that merely served to drive the plot forward.

Particularly distracting was the excessive focus on physical actions that offered no added value to the story.

The dialogue was often so wooden that it was more reminiscent of a bad soap opera. It's a shame that such an interesting premise was so carelessly wasted.

I read a positive review in the Guardian and decided to watch it.

Shocked at how shallow and cliché it was, almost from the start. Nothing new, nothing special, all done before and to much better standards.

Towards the middle, it became clear, especially knowing that the writer is playing the main character, it's an exercise in self-indulgent writing and acting. Some scenes are cringe-worthy because of the basic script that's meant to sound deep on occasion, and the amateur acting.

Nothing memorable or redeemable; quickly becomes very predictable. I'm curious to know how this got funding and materialised into a seven-episode drama; but unfortunately fluff sells these days, more than ever.

To me this is one of those series to be watched on a certain mood, definitely not after coming from your lousy work that you don't like (if you're in that situation), or after coming from running when the brain is too alert. I watched all episodes late at night and enjoyed it very much, maybe because of the late night tranquility.

I didn't know the main actress and she impressed me a lot, on how natural and real her performance is, specially on the laughs. I think she is fantastic and will search more of her work.

The best things of this show is in the details. If you watch it for the general story that it is and expect a certain outcome, you might find that there is no sense of direction or that it didn't work... but if you just let it go with the flow, you will certainly find some gems regarding the psychology and behavior of the characters. I also loved the soundtrack, it makes the surreal moments funny and the happy moments really sweet.
