Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Maven Maven SPOILER ALERTEach episode is maybe 3 minutes long then the credits roll and the logos are displayed. After that the next episode comes up.Imagine a bunch of adults meeting Santa Clause in a diner to make their wish except this Santa is evil and requires something for whatever he will grant you. So episode after episode you get people making wishes and then reporting back on their progress. I mean over and over with people whining and nothing happening. The narrative stays in one place there is no development there is no motion forward.At the end of a half hour of episode one, I was exactly where I was at the beginning of episode one: nowhere.

TonyCamonte84 'The Booth At The End' has a lot of things going for it. It has an interesting and kind of novel premise about a guy who sits in a restaurant and "provides opportunities" for people. He asks them what they want and they get it, if they do something very specific. Not only is this premise interesting and has a lot of potential to go into a lot of different directions, it also allows for all of the story to take place at one single location (even if he sits in a different restaurant in season 2). I am a sucker for this kind of show, especially if it is dialogue- and character-driven, which 'The Booth At The End" is. The dialogue is well-written for the most part and the characters are decently portrayed and mostly interesting. I enjoyed watching the short episodes, which consist of the man talking to about half a dozen characters, who take centre-stage for only 1-2 minutes before the scene cuts to another conversation. However, I felt there wasn't really enough pay-off in the end to consider it a really good show. I don't think the underlying mystery needs to be resolved, as I can accept a supernatural premise and suspend my disbelief for it, but in the end I think there's next to nothing the show is really telling us. It's entertaining to get to know the different characters and their motivations, but if the point of the show is to show us how far people are willing to go to get what they want, it fails, because we simply don't get to know the characters for long enough to make them really life-like. They are just there in order to trade something in to get what they want, so there's no way for the viewer to relate to the characters and how they got to the point of doing something more or less horrible to get something else. As far as I'm concerned, that's the major flaw with the show, and that makes it merely entertaining instead of outstanding.

Chuck Walters Lousy sound, plain and clumsy cinematography, truly awful Tarantino-inspired title cards (and by awful I mean an ugly typeface kerned so poorly that a 19 year old graphic design student does better work with a typeface), boring lighting and a location that is so...meh.That's the (lack of) production value and it could be forgiven if this show were well written. It's not. It is haphazard storytelling pretending to be high brow and important. The acting is awful. Even Xander Berkeley, who is normally wonderful, is nothing more than an eclectic collection of facial expressions. He isn't playing a character and it is clear he doesn't know what he's doing anymore than the rest of this sad cast. You can almost hear the director in the background yelling "Okay, now do this line ANGRY. No, be SAD. Now try it again and be CONFUSED." Nothing is emotionally coherent.Your time is better spent scrubbing a toilet with a toothbrush than watching this terrible, terrible show.

Ticky 88 It happens once in a year for me, I think. To stumble upon something that I know I will cherish for as long as I am capable of memories."The Booth at the End" is a thought-provoking, unbelievably engaging, and convincingly performed series of short episodes, all filmed at a booth in a diner. I read in one of the comments how the person thought this setting could never achieve the level of engagement it did, but was (fortunately!) mistaken. This might be the first science-fiction film/series in which I truly did not want to find out the 'secret' behind the story. It is an allegory of life, of flawed human nature, but also of occasional glimpses at divinity in ourselves, and it is as such that it ought to remain. Honestly a wonderful piece, both with respect to writing and production.Also, I would like to commend Xander Berkeley for his brilliant performance. So heartfelt, on the verge between reality and fantasy, hell and heaven.I do hope I will have the opportunity to come across more projects of this kind in the future.
