Zoe Lister-Jones’ new series, Slip, challenges the idea that making small changes in life could lead to happiness. The show follows Mae Cannon, an assistant museum curator, who travels through infinite universes to find her way back home after a chance encounter with a stranger at a bar. With each new spouse and reality, Mae’s sense of self-awareness warps, forcing her to reevaluate her life and the choices she’s made.
Slip is not your average story, pushing the envelope with its examination of love, intimacy, and identity.

Mae’s journey is a poignant portrait of love and how it becomes a part of our DNA, whether it’s through her spouse, her best friend, or her sense of self.
The show’s cast of characters is memorable and real, with each spouse and reality offering a new perspective on Mae’s life. The series is filled with dry humor, wild adventures, and a sense of self-awareness that is both morbidly hilarious and relatable. Mae’s pain and confusion resonate through the screen, making it easy to become invested in her journey.
