How close is too close?
A half-hour comedy · Created by Skip Skip
Four codependent best friends share one bed, one salary, and one life. When their boss threatens to split them up, they kidnap him and take over his temp agency, and discover that the hardest part of staying together is learning to let each other go.
All Four One is an absurdist workplace comedy that turns into a serialized story about friendship and growing up. Real magic exists, but only for one of them.
Each episode is a self-contained temp gig on the surface (an office, a library, a wedding) while underneath, four inseparable people slowly get pulled in four different directions.
The jokes are big, the feelings are real, and nobody winks at the camera.
A friend group in over their heads, funny and a little unhinged.
Codependent best friends, the real relationship at the center.
Absurd characters played dead straight in a normal world.
Adults playing themselves, painfully honest.
The gig changes every week, the desks are ugly, the fluorescent lights hum. It is the perfect container for four people who have never had to function apart, now forced to run a business, cover for a kidnapping, and pretend to be adults.
We meet the four at their most codependent. Their boss Craig announces the agency is downsizing and they will be split across the city. Cornered, they do the only reasonable thing: they kidnap him and start running the agency themselves.
The engine locks in. Keep the lie alive, keep the gigs coming, and do not let anyone realize the four of them are slowly starting to want different things.
A limited series, 8 episodes. It opens on four people in one bed and ends on four people in their own beds, on a group FaceTime. The arc is not breaking up. It is learning to let each other go and choosing each other anyway.
This is a show about a generation that cannot afford to move out, move on, or be alone, and is only now learning how.
We are Skip Skip: four writers and performers who wrote this together and play these four characters because we have been these four characters. We have been each other's roommates at nearly every point along the way. The codependency on screen is the one we are still living and still climbing out of. That is the show.
