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.

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.

Myself, I'm more into Hollywood produced comedies or sci-fi movies, but watching first five minutes of this actually dragged me in. So, to everyone that is expecting something else than a psychological drama-series full of riddles, i would not recommend it. To everyone else, if you're into psychological stories, this is a very interesting one. It challenges an individual to consider their moral norms. How far would you go? I'm not very acquainted with this genre, but unlike some films, it doesn't repel or scare me. But you still won't watch it just for fun. So the bottom line is, a perfect mixture of a psychological drama and a sci-fi movie or a thriller.

This has been a fantastic show! Twenty minutes flies by as you watch individuals come to seek out their hearts desire by making deals with a creature that could as likely be an angel as a devil. Tasks and deals begin to intertwine and form a cosmic game of chess, but the man in the booth at the end is merely keeping score.Not only is this an engrossing series, but a masterful accomplishment of screen writing. The entire show is filmed from a booth in a diner. If someone had simply told me about this show I'd be convinced it couldn't work, but the concept of storytelling is given new life in this small screen format. Each contracted party returns to the diner to update the scorer of their progress and through their updates we learn how deals have gone horribly wrong or transformed into unforeseen joy. I cannot recommend this enough. I hope for more.
