Slip

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.

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!

I loved this, and Zoe Lister-Jones is great in anything she's in. The storyline was really interesting and I loved the moving through the different dimensions. I'm not really getting the negative reviews on this. It's something different, is easy viewing at half an hour, and only goes for seven episodes. I'd probably class it as humorous drama, rather than a comedy, though. So don't go into it thinking there'll be heaps of laughs.

The supporting cast were great too, except I think the husband was miscast - he seemed like an overgrown teenager, and the two of them married wasn't really believable for me.

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.

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.
