The Lush

Nothing is as it was in Mae's life. She is married to Eric, a celebrity DJ, who is getting ready to go on tour. She has a drug problem in this reality. Mae tries to find Elijah, without success. She finds out that she doesn't work at the museum and never has. Gina is a part of her life but also doesn't work at the museum. She gets followed on the street by a paparazzi. She confuses Eric with her behavior. She runs into Vanessa, her boss from her former life, who doesn't recognize her.

Thoughts

I'm thinking I will stick with this show but I hope that there will be some sort of development in the next episode. This episode seemed to be all about how hard of a time Mae is having trying to adapt. It was weird but it wasn't funny, for the most part. It felt very disorienting but I think that's how it was supposed to feel. I will be surprised and disappointed if the next episode is more of the same.

Slip 1.01

The Wife

Mae feels that her marriage of thirteen years to Elijah is a bit stale. She has been supporting Elijah, who is a writer, for years. One night she goes home with Eric, a DJ she just met. She has amazing sex with him. She wakes up the next morning only to discover that the world has changed and now she is married to Eric.

Thoughts

Interesting premise. I'm curious to see where this goes. I'm not sure if I will watch all seven episodes or not. Based on what I see on IMDb it looks like Mae is the only character who is in all seven episodes. No one else appears in more than four episodes and many only appear in a single episode.
