The Booth At The End

My thanks to Mike L. for pointing me to this Hulu original web series starring Xander Berkeley(Nikita,24) as a mysterious man who takes meetings in a diner, offering clients whatever they wish in exchange for a "task". The task is always challenging and often criminal, but sometimes it's also a challenging act of goodness. The Man's motives, power and origins are a mystery that may or may not be revealed. (I've only seen the first episode so far.) What's more revealing is the lengths people are prepared to go to get what they want, or what they think they want.

It's anyone's guess what kinds of philosophical claims the script will make as the series continues (one client wants to feel closer to God and The Man claims he can deliver on that as well!), but the series looks to be very compelling from a character standpoint, intriguing from a sci-fi/fantasy standpoint, and worth talking about from a philosophical standpoint. I for one am already hooked!
