Staff Blog / Get your fix: we’re bringing you more High Maintenance

Vimeo is built by and for people who love watching and creating videos. Thus it is as a self-distribution platform and as superfans that we are thrilled to announce our first foray into original programming. We’re enabling humorous husband-and-wife team Katja Blichfeld and Ben Sinclair to produce six new episodes of their critically acclaimed and very dank web series, High Maintenance. The new episodes will premiere later this year, exclusively on Vimeo On Demand.

The comedic series follows an easygoing dealer as he bikes around NYC, delivering his products to a menagerie of anxious, lonely, paranoid, and otherwise distraught characters. The rotating cast is laced with comedian Hannibal Buress, Downton Abbey’s Dan Stevens, designer Rachel Comey, and other people you'll probably recognize if you've ever been on the Internet.

We’ve burned through every ounce of the first season as the episodes have appeared on Vimeo, but you can watch all 13 installments for free, starting with the latest below.

But before you begin, make sure your couch is fully stocked with:

- Frozen pizzas
- Crackers shaped like fish
- Pockets that are hot and maybe even filled with meat
- Ice cream
- Cookie dough
- Cookie dough ice cream
- Cereal
- Minimum one loaf of bread
- Beverages with added electrolytes
- Candy
- Nacho-flavored chips
- Actual nachos
- Chocolate chip cookies
- Premium bottled water
- Any other cookies you can find

A dope smoking cross dressing stay at home writer dad? Come on Vimeo. You guys need to get out of NYC and get some perspective! There was some good writing and I'll watch some more episodes to give it a chance but moral decay as a standard of living is not a good thing to promote.

My dear paisano, I'm kindly perplexed by your search for virtue on these beloved serie di tubi. Among my associates the selection of stylish vestments is cause for admiration and respect, yet your tone indicates a lack thereof. Also, if a man chooses to spend his days working in the comfort of his residence I see no reason for shame. If that man also chooses to relax with the occasional inhalation of oxidized THC, what gives? I'm not quite a wise guy, more of a simple fella but your rigid interpretation of masculinity? Fuggedaboutit! It's stale like a week old calzone.

All of my pizza is gone and I want Vimeo to pay for more pizza. I NEED PIZZA! Cause they were the little Tostinos ones and those are like eating a ritz cracker with cheese and the ever smallest dollop of sauce. Just for the inconvenience of prompting me to eat all my pizza I request at LEAST a brand upgrade. Also, Dave Perry up top needs to smoke a little herb and settle down. I'm from Nashville and down south a cross dressing writer stay at home dad is still weird but we just invite him to the swimming hole to drink PBR and skinny dip. Pizza. PO Box 906 Franklin TN 37216. Thats right I just put my PO Box on the internet. Whatev.
