How close is too close?
A half-hour comedy · Created by Skip Skip
Four codependent 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.
Each episode is a self-contained temp gig on the surface (an estate sale, a library, a call center) 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 that they have one last chance to save their collective job. Cornered, they do the only reasonable thing: they kidnap him and start running the agency themselves.
Their goal is to keep the lie alive, keep the gigs coming, and to stick together at all costs.
A limited series, 8 episodes. It opens on four people in one bed who share everything and ends on four people in one bed who know how to exist apart. The arc is not breaking up. It is finding some independence within a tightly knit group.
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 an extreme version of our real lives.
