Slip

Wondering if all the bad reviews are all people who don't actively listen to the people they are in relationships with.

We all have this piece in us, the "concept" is reality.

No explanations and no completed mind bends, but an opportunity to resonate was given in this show.

The things you "think you want", played out in a very clever full circle way.

Don't expect a thriller here friends...it's the beautiful simplicity of cause and effect and I really dug in.

I would watch more and recommend it to anyone.

It's not fluff, and if scenes make you cringe because it's human and real, you may want to look in the mirror too, just to find where you went.

Maybe if this had been a 90 minute movie it would have been effective, but as a 6 episodes series it completely wore out its welcome. The overall premise of slipping between different realities with different partners was intriguing, but after a while it didn't really feel like the alternate realities offered much of anything new to the character's journey. The first episode also painted the husband in such a negative light that it was hard to believe the main character would spend the entire series desperately trying to get back to him. Sure, "the grass is always greener" and maybe her life wasn't as bad as she originally thought, but her attempts to get back to her old life felt obligatory and inorganic--and the ambiguous ending definitely didn't help.

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.

This brief series should be binge-watched with zero expectations and zero distractions. Zoe Lister-Jones should be in the running for an Emmy for the scene in Episode 7 where she screams at herself and Gina shows up. I don't agree with other reviewers who say it could have been a 90-minute movie. Each episode was clearly separate from the previous and necessary. The different characters throughout are delicately braided throughout. Primary original characters, Gina for example, showing up throughout, make this fantasy story feel plausible. By the way, Mae's orgasms were definitely catchy. Hard to believe there were there was a film crew milling about!

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..
