The Booth At The End is a drama about a man who makes deals. 62 parts, each lasting just two pretty fantastic minutes. It stars Xander Berkeley - aka George Mason From 24. (And co-stars fellow 24 alumni Sarah Clarke.)
FXUK are making episodes available as they're broadcast, but their site is horribly clunky and banner-bloated, and for some reason lists all the episodes backwards. So here's handy links for all the eps to date:
Yeah, it's limited to the UK. I'm in Ireland and it refuses me. I've been trying to watching this thing for weeks and weeks now. Argh! And yeah I know I have "options" but I don't like those options. posted by DarlingBri at 3:43 PM on April 21, 2011
How about this? It's a Canadian site - doesn't work for me in the UK, might work for US? posted by sleepcrime at 3:48 PM on April 21, 2011 [2 favorites]
Wow. That City-tv site may not work for everyone, but it works for me (in Canada). I'm hooked. posted by maudlin at 4:13 PM on April 21, 2011
Original link doesn't work in Germany either. City-tv shows me a black box instead of video. not sure if this is regional restrictions or technical issues.
Looks intriguing though. posted by _Lasar at 4:20 PM on April 21, 2011
I can't get it to load... posted by PUA at 4:28 PM on April 21, 2011
I can't seem to get any to work. Might the sight be able to detect a proxy and shut off streaming to proxies?
Love to hear any workaround for this because I'm really interested in this series. posted by meadowlark lime at 7:39 PM on April 21, 2011
It should also be noted that this is directed by Jessica Landaw (who is a friend! Ha!) posted by kingv at 10:39 PM on April 21, 2011
That city-tv link above is working for me, though I'm also in Canada. It's working but choppy -so, so choppy.
By now I'm just browsing Metafilter and listening to it like it's a podcast, and it's still fantastic. posted by mannequito at 1:26 AM on April 22, 2011

It's possible, but I can't imagine there's anything in these videos which is so location-important that they would go to those lengths to keep proxy servers from working.
As soon as I'm done with this other thing I'm watching, I'll see if I can find something that works and will post it here when I do. posted by hippybear at 3:13 PM on April 22, 2011
I'm proxying right now and it's working. A tad slow, but it works. (And it's good.) posted by disillusioned at 12:30 AM on April 23, 2011
fucking awesome. Just watched the entire thing in one sitting. The city tv link is great - has 10 compilations of them. Anyone know if the series has ended, or still going? posted by spacediver at 12:53 AM on April 23, 2011
Spacediver, I think they have 62 segments, of which the site only has 39... (and 38 as of when this post went up, so perhaps they're releasing a new one every day there as well?) posted by disillusioned at 2:17 AM on April 23, 2011
interesting - the version I saw was in 10 compliations each of which lasted about 10-12 minutes. So not sure how many "mini's" I've watched.
The last one I saw (SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
he indicated he could bring back someone from the dead. posted by spacediver at 11:23 AM on April 23, 2011
Well, I've tried for days to find a working proxy server to watch this series, and there doesn't seem to be one. Sad but true. posted by hippybear at 12:31 AM on April 27, 2011
Still no news on finding this in an internationally available format, I take it? Sad indeed. posted by _Lasar at 6:49 AM on May 7, 2011
