I thought I'd posted about it in past seasons, but High Maintenance is back.

Such a gem of a show. Just the right length, brilliant concept, and this season's premiere was genuinely moving.

If you're not familiar with the conceit, the bearded biking dude in the trailer is 'the dude' and he's a weed dealer in NY. And the stories are only peripherally about him. Week to week, you drop in on his various and random [though occasionally serialized] customers as they go about their lives then interact with him when they buy their weed. So it's a bunch of little slice of city life stories connected by weed.

And the greatness of it is it can go anywhere. From loners and shut-ins to yuppies and broadway stars to nudists and swingers, to even boomers in the suburbs. Whomever wants some weed is the storyline for the week.

If you haven't caught any of it, they are worth catching up with past seasons, and it started as a web series, so you can still find a lot of it on youtube and vimeo and dailymotion. And of course, HBO has the whole package if you stream them.
