Lister-Jones's voice is singular and unique, creating something that goes beyond its vaguely sci-fi concept, and certainly singles itself out from the heaping handfuls of stories about infinite worlds we’ve received in the last few years.
-
Even if you find it easy, I suspect there is more in Slip to admire than to love. But it is undoubtedly a work of rare ambition and the product of such talent from Lister-Jones that it seems churlish not to exalt it.
-
Slip is certainly a tour de force for Zoe Lister-Jones, but it’s also funny and touching, and it may have a more positive message about marriage and long-term relationships than it seems to have at first blush.
-
The majority of the credit deserves to go to Lister-Jones, who avoids leaning into the overly-comedic or broader aspects of the performance that arguably would have been easier to play, but her fiercely committed turn still holds the whole thing together with style and substance in equal measure, ensuring that nobody will accuse the series of being a one-trick pony that’s got a cute gimmick with nothing much going on under the surface.
-
Slip can be arch, and it gets old watching Mae having her dimension-spanning orgasms. However, four episodes in, it’s also well performed, sparky, inventive and funny.
