High Maintenance is a captivating web series from HBO that revolves around the life of a weed delivery man and the eclectic mix of characters that order from him. The show premiered in 2012 on Vimeo and garnered attention for its unique concept and fresh take on storytelling.

The show follows the life of a weed delivery man known only as "The Guy" (played by creator Ben Sinclair). The Guy is a charming and charismatic individual who delivers weed to a wide variety of clients across New York City. Each episode is a standalone story and follows The Guy on his delivery route as he interacts with different people from different walks of life.

One of the standout characters from the show is a flamboyant artist named Norwood Young, played by himself. Norwood is a larger-than-life character who lives in a beautiful mansion in the suburbs and is always smoking weed. Despite his affluence, Norwood is deeply lonely and always looking for companionship. We see him struggle with his insecurities and search for love in a city that can be cruel and unforgiving.

Lucy Treadway plays a yoga instructor named Lainey who smokes weed to help her relax before teaching her classes. She is a free spirit who is struggling to find meaning in her life and is constantly questioning the choices she has made. She is searching for something deeper, but is unsure of what that is.

Another character we meet is Renner Grubb, played by Chris Roberti. Renner is a struggling actor who is constantly auditioning for roles. He is a passionate artist who is dedicated to his craft, but is becoming increasingly disillusioned with the industry. He is always smoking weed and trying to figure out his next move.

The show is created by husband and wife team Ben Sinclair and Katja Blichfeld, who were inspired by their own experiences living in Brooklyn and ordering weed. They wanted to explore the lives of the people who order from weed delivery services and the interesting and diverse communities that they inhabit.

One of the most fascinating aspects of the show is the way it explores the different ways in which people use weed. Some characters use it as a way to relax and escape their problems, while others use it to enhance their creativity and unlock new ideas. The show never judges its characters for their choices, but instead explores the ways in which weed can be both a positive and negative influence in people's lives.

The show has received critical acclaim for its unique format and fresh storytelling. It has been praised for its authentic portrayal of life in New York City and its ability to capture the city's diverse communities. The show has also been noted for its ability to make viewers laugh, cry, and feel deeply connected to its characters.

Overall, High Maintenance is a must-watch for anyone who is interested in exploring the complex and often contradictory ways in which people use weed. It is a funny, poignant, and wonderfully human show that will leave you craving more. With its incredible performances, sharp writing, and unique storytelling, High Maintenance is a truly special show that deserves all the praise it has received.

High Maintenance is a series that ran for 9 seasons (75 episodes) between October 30, 2012 and on HBOVimeo
