The premise sells itself: a thirtysomething woman is transported to a parallel life each time she orgasms. But, actually, this lends itself surprisingly well to digging deep into millennial frustrations, anxiety and ennui. Zoe Lister-Jones plays Mae Cannon, a New York art curator who feels stuck in a rut with her life – specifically with her longterm husband. When she cheats with another man, she wakes up in a new life where she married him, and so the cycle begins, with each new relationship forcing Mae to re-examine her identity and ideals. Does she want, or get, her original life back? No spoilers here, but without ever zapping the smart, sharp comedy that carries it through, this introspection is relatable for many. Watch it on ITVX
