I watched this show about a month ago. All in one sitting. It's a web series about a weed dealer (Ben Sinclair, who bears a striking resemblance to John Malkovich btw), who rides around NY delivering weed. Along his journeys, he often hangs out with the buyers and/or smokes with them in their apartments or whatever and have interesting/funny conversations about life etc. It is all directed and produced very well, the dialogues and stuff are very well structured and choreographed.
Immediately after I watched all the episodes, I wrote the creators (Ben Sinclair and Katja Blichfeld) and email with praise, something I never do.
You can thank GQ, I watched them all in one sitting. I hope to see more soon. They are very intelligent and funny at the right times in a real way. The first thing that came to mind is that the show reminds me a lot of the movie 'The Man From Earth' in that they both use raw pathos and dialogue to create meaningful enlightening entertainment. No bells and whistles, just unfettered human interaction. I hope the show remains esoteric, but I also hope that it can serve as a huge stepping stone into further successes for everyone involved.

Anyways, Keep up the good work! This is the only kind of show I can ever watch. I never watch TV, it's too god damned trite.

I am curious though, as to why there are so many gay characters? Is that just how New York is?
Also, about the last couple of lines in the 'Trixie' episode. He must obviously be educated in psychology to make that assumption from the fact she is; Angry, afraid of men/real relationships (which is proven by the fact she only hangs with gays and is afraid to stay with the weed dude for a minute), and a drug addict. What exactly was the purpose of the lines? (also there is a time when he delivers to a psychologist/therapist) Is it a subtext/foreshadowing for a larger arcing plotline to reveal the main character or something? Am I helping you write your future scripts right now?

You can follow their updates on fb, but I haven't heard anything from them lately.
