Set in one place with people just talking, you would never think could be this interesting. I just watched both seasons in one long sitting. I feel like I just read a good novel. I think because the acting and dialog was so good, that it is like reading a good book. Your mind is actually doing part of the work by visualizing what is going on with each character. I realized as I was thinking about this show, how it sticks with you and I feel like I saw the characters go to the places in the show they would be discussing, but they didn't. All scenes take place in the diner. How refreshing is that? To be using your mind while watching something? I know I will be thinking this show for awhile. It brings up so many good ideas about living and humans and love and what do you want? It sticks with you. One of the most unusual and best shows I have seen in ages. I give it a 10 for originality. The casting was spot on. There was not one wrong note with the cast. I stumbled across this on Netflix when I had nothing to watch, and it was after pages and pages of shows before I found it too. Look it up and watch it. Both seasons are on Hulu for free if you can stand the commercials.

This show is for those who believe a Kanye West plain white t-shirt is worth $120. If you like theater of the absurd and believe Waiting for Godot is the best play they have ever seen, then this is the show for you. The joke about Seinfeld was it was a show about nothing and god knows it spawned a host of similar shows but this one has to be the ultimate in nothing. It is literally what the title says it is: the booth at the end. In every episode a different "client" shows up, asks the same questions, and. . . . That's it. Can you really write a spoiler for a show that has nothing going but a man in a booth? I don't believe so but this was the best attempt I could do.

If the title cards are "Tarantino-inspired" then who did Tarantino rip them off from, its generally understood that cinema didn't begin with Tarantino and in fact most of his work really hits the tone of pastiche. If I had to say the title cards or even location concept were inspired by anyone I would have to say it was Jim Jarmusch rather than Tarantino.As for the TV program, its pretty interesting; woven story lines, single location. I can think of worse ways to spend 23 minutes. Xander Berkeley is also a relatively solid choice as a lead. My only issue with "The Booth at The End" is conceptually I don't see it having enough flavor to work over multiple series. This is often an issue with American Television, programs are pushed beyond their limits for overstretched season lengths and because of this they ultimately fall to pieces.

I was a bit apprehensive before watching this; I'm not a fan of watching TV on the web so I waited for the entire set of 'webisodes' to be broadcast on FX. I must say I have been rewarded with one of the most thought provoking and challenging TV programmes in quite some time. Xander Berkeley has been perfectly cast as 'The Man' his performance is truly exceptional as are all the supporting actors. I had assumed that part of the script had been improvised due to the naturalistic way the performances are delivered, I am assured that this is not the case. There is no action as all the 'tasks' are only spoken of in retrospect or the moral challenge the person asking faces. Is 'The Man' God or is he the Devil ? As the series progresses you flip between one or the other. A series that is well worth watching and hopefully we will get a series 2; however, the moral of this story is : be careful what you wish for...
