The Booth at the End is a psychological thriller that aired on FOX from 2011 to 2012. The show stars Xander Berkeley, who plays a mysterious man known only as The Man in the booth at a diner. The booth is where people come to make deals with The Man in exchange for their deepest desires.

The show centers around The Man and the people who come to seek his help. Each episode features a different individual who comes to the booth to ask for something they desperately want. However, instead of simply granting their wishes, The Man requires them to complete tasks or fulfill conditions before he will grant their request.

What makes The Booth at the End stand out from other thrillers is the way it is structured. Unlike most shows, it takes place entirely in a single location - the diner where The Man sits in his booth. Each episode is essentially a conversation between The Man and the person seeking his help. This means that the show relies heavily on dialogue, and the acting talents of Xander Berkeley are crucial.

While the show's structure may seem limiting, it offers several advantages. Because each episode is self-contained, it allows for a variety of different characters and storylines. Each episode focuses entirely on the individual who has come to the booth, so the viewer gets a glimpse into their life and struggles. Additionally, the dialogue-heavy structure allows for deep dives into philosophical questions and moral dilemmas.

The characters who come to the booth are not necessarily good people. In fact, most of them are morally ambiguous at best. The show does not shy away from depicting characters who are willing to do terrible things to get what they want. But rather than simply condemning these characters, The Booth at the End uses them as a way to explore complex ethical questions.

The show also plays with the audience's expectations. The Man seems to have a supernatural power to fulfill people's wishes, but over time it becomes clear that there may be more going on than meets the eye. The mysteries of The Man and the diner he inhabits are slowly revealed over the course of the show, adding to the sense of suspense and intrigue.

Overall, The Booth at the End is a thought-provoking and suspenseful thriller that uses a unique structure to explore complex ethical questions. Xander Berkeley gives a standout performance as The Man, and the show's writing is consistently engaging. While it only lasted for two seasons, it remains a cult favorite among fans of the genre.

The Booth at the End is a series that is currently running and has 2 seasons (10 episodes). The series first aired on July 11, 2011.
