High Maintenance - Very good web-series. Discuss.

otm

the casting, performances, & timing are all so top notch, its kindof mindblowing

end of the Passover ep is also hilarious

i love that magician dude, pops up in 'dinah' too

i'm like four episodes in, this is one of the best things i've ever fucking seen - the "Assholes" one should be expanded somehow.

the molestation zing didn't bother me in the slightest, mostly because those characters were such awful people.

stevie is a much more accomplished chalk doodler than that poster suggests

u mean Quinn

maybe I do! the cut to the apple bong and the chalk doodling was the first heads-up that this show was going to keep it posi

otm

fyi the near-euphoric use in of fleetwod mac's "gypsy" over the closing credits/slow-mo shot of sinclair on the bike has been replaced by a diff song :-(

it almost sounds like its still playing muffled in the background of the bathroom scene but i cant be sure

by my watch that's:

• fleetwood mac ("stevie")
• arthur russell ("heidi")
• grimes ("olivia")(dont trust my memory 100% on this one)

lol i wonder if there are torrents somewhere of the originals

the songs shouldn't even have to be good (well, "gyspy" is impossible to top) but they should have been a better tonal match at least...the 'heidi' one changes the entire story

the one with the jewish holiday is just...wow

the guy who talks about his failed acting audition is do good

so* good

"that happens to everyone, right?"

"no."

otm! that dude is hilarious, it's like a 20-second bit but i just love him

i saw the guy who plays shut-in at PS1 this weekend

i also love the red-head street musician that pops up now and then

"give me, like, 15..........no, like, 45 minutes"

lol yes, love how in to it he is

it's the look on his face as he takes a bite of his sandwich that makes it for me

Had no idea the series existed until reading this thread. Not catching the intermediate-level Brooklyn references, but dialog, acting, technicals are all great. More of this please.

Vimeo is giving us funding for at least the next six episodes, and the only condition, really, is that we need to produce them and release them by the end of the year.

rad!

def confirms a paywall sitch though

NOVEMBER ELEVENTH!!!

i'm srsly considering hosting a high maintenance party, starting out with the original 13 for n00bs then going straight in to the new 6

that's a pretty good idea

where do you live again?

http://vimeo.com/channels/highmaintenance

new eps 11/11 bros

From Emmy-winning casting director Katja Blichfeld (30 Rock) and actor/editor Ben Sinclair (Delocated, 30 Rock, Law and Order) comes High Maintenance. The series centers around a cannabis dealer known simply as "The Guy" (Sinclair) who slips in and out of the lives of his clients – an eclectic array of New Yorkers with neuroses as diverse as the city they live in.
As the first-ever Vimeo Original, the already critically acclaimed web series is producing six all-new episodes to help you maintain. Order now, and watch the first three starting 11/11.

oh hah didnt see it upthread

would attend hi maintenance party yes ^____^

$7.99 for all 6 for 12 months, not bad.

Curious to see how it works out for them/Vimeo.

So totally worth it and more! Going to preorder.

"Matilda" and "Rachel" apparently came out after I watched them all (up to "Qasim") and I never saw it!

"Rachel" is SO GOOD and touching and sweet and unexpected!!! I am v, v impressed that someone had the idea to take the episode in the direction that it went.

are these ten minute episodes? or half hour? because if it's the latter that seems fair but paying eight bucks to rent an hour long movie in 2014 seems wrong, regardless of how much i like this show.

yeah Rachel is incred.

fyi the mom is played by Katja Blichfeild (in case you didn't catch that.)

also rachel comey plays herself

xp

rachel is the best episode

They're still 10-15 minutes apparently

1st 3 are up

from the title fade-in of geiger to 6min mark is prob better than this entire new michael mann hacker movie

oh its getting weird

its ALL getting dam
