This is worth watching. It was on the FX channel. But can be viewed in it's individual episodes none longer than about 4 minutes. Some a lot shorter.
The setting never changes and at first it may not seem that good. But it is worth sticking with as unrelated situations/characters start to interweave with one another.
"In this psychological drama a mysterious man sits at the booth at the end of a diner.
People come to him with things they want: a parent with a sick child, a woman who wants to be prettier, a nun who wants to hear god again.
The man can make these things happen. For a price. In exchange for what they want, these individuals must sacrifice their morals and do deeds normally inconceivable to them.
Set off a bomb. Rob a bank. Kill a child. They must return to the man and describe every step in detail.
As the characters' tasks begin to overlap, complications ensue. But the man never forces anyone to do anything. It's always up to them to start or stop with one lingering question: how far would you go to get what you want?
