The Oblique Sector

Here's an amiable comedy with nods to "The Twilight Zone" and, perhaps, "Love, American Style", but smartly written and deftly played for 21st-century audiences. It's an idea that could very well work for a similar anthology-style TV (or web) series, and if you have the same players in every episode as were featured in this one, I believe it would be well worth it! Amanda Good Hennessey captivates as the woman who dates while evaluating restaurants for dining guides and falls victim to the dreaded Oblique Sector! Erik Rodenhiser is pitch-perfect as Amanda's date who reveals a darkly different side of himself on their second time around. And, of course, Jason Reulet's lovably daft narrator is the frosting on the confection, able to impose himself in an ongoing situation to help us fill in the blanks, but becoming frantic and goofy when looking for his way out! Bring in some light jazzy music and you've got a great way to get yourself grinning in just nine minutes!
