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:
Episode 1 | Episode 2 | Episode 3 | Episode 4 | Episode 5 | Episode 6 | Episode 7 | Episode 8 | Episode 9 | Episode 10 | Episode 11 | Episode 12 | Episode 13 | Episode 14 | Episode 15 | Episode 16 | Episode 17 | Episode 18 | Episode 19 | Episode 20 | Episode 21 | Episode 22 | Episode 23 | Episode 24 | Episode 25 | Episode 26 | Episode 27 | Episode 28 | Episode 29 | Episode 30 | Episode 31 | Episode 32 | Episode 33 | Episode 34 | Episode 35 | Episode 36 | Episode 37 | Episode 38
Some episodes also on YouTube and Dailymotion.
Interview with the writer, Christopher Kubasik (potentially some spoilers)
Guardian review (some very minor spoilers)

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.

How about this? It's a Canadian site - doesn't work for me in the UK, might work for US?

Wow. That City-tv site may not work for everyone, but it works for me (in Canada). I'm hooked.

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.

This looks fascinating and I will be in no way compelled to get it on BitTorrent.

Can't find it on BitTorrent. Anybody got a way to mirror these for USA people?

The only link that works outside the UK is the YouTube episode 1 link.

hippybear: "GOOGLE RON PAUL WEB PROXIES"
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.

It should also be noted that this is directed by Jessica Landaw (who is a friend! Ha!)

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.

Ack. Not the greatest post, then. To make up for it, here's a video of some cats attempting to understand a treadmill that will definitely work for US folk. Note: video not in any way similar to The Booth At The End.

I'm proxying right now and it's working. A tad slow, but it works. (And it's good.)

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?

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?)

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.

Still no news on finding this in an internationally available format, I take it? Sad indeed.
