Originally produced for The Roku Channel in the U.S., “Slip” follows Mae (Zoe Lister-Jones), a thirty-something who, despite her seemingly perfect marriage, finds herself restless in domesticity and yearning for more. After a one-night stand, she wakes up realising she’s now in a parallel universe, married to the other man with no trace of her life with her husband. So begins a universe hopping adventure in which Mae journeys from universe to universe, experiencing other versions of her life and searching for the one she lost.
Every episode of “Slip” was written and directed by Lister-Jones and this “twisted, hilarious and unexpected love story” is a highly personal piece with echoes of the writer's previous films “How it Ends” and “Band Aid”. With a highly eclectic cast which includes Tymika Tafari as Gina, Emily Hampshire as Sandy, Amar Chadha-Patel as Eric and Whitmer Thomas as Mae’s lost husband Elijah, “Slip” is a quirky rom-com that’s worth catching up with.
