High Maintenance allowed itself to explore a more universal truth about living through interesting times, a mantle taken up by more series since. Go to Full Review Emily St. James Vox 03/26/2018
In the keen (if slightly bloodshot) eyes of High Maintenance, every single person onscreen -- from the excitable tourist parents to the countless lonely people shuffling around their apartments -- is worthy of having their story told. Go to Full Review Judy Berman The Nation 03/02/2018
No other TV series captures daily life in the city like High Maintenance, which profiles so many of its residents, and from so many different communities, without judgment. Go to Full Review Nico Gendron Birth.Movies.Death. 12/15/2018
This deeper dive into humanity makes season two of High Maintenance a must-see. We were hooked by the weed, but are sticking around for the show's offbeat characters that are delicate in their strength. Go to Full Review Kevin Fitzpatrick ScreenCrush 05/29/2018
It's not what you would call appointment viewing, but - like The Guy's visits - a perfect chance to relax and let your mind drift. Go to Full Review Jac Kern Cincinnati CityBeat 03/01/2018
The imaginative ways this series explores the human experience are on full display here. It's silly, emotional and thought-provoking all at once. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Gareth v @geewah 06/24/2023 A fantastic second season. Continues telling quirky stories about the people of New York with empathy and humour. See more 07/21/2020 Charming, sweet, funny See more 03/14/2019 half of the episodes are very satisfying, the other half are like entourage but for lesbians See more 03/24/2018 Heavily conflicted between a 4* and 4.5* this time around. A strong showing this season. See more 03/24/2018 High Maintenance's transition from a web-series to a legit TV show certainly went seamlessly, but this follow-up season is much more paramount, and officially puts it as TV's best anthology series. Filmed in the months after the last Presidential election, this year tried to encapsulate the melancholy that swamped New York in light of the results, and it does this in a way that's bittersweet and universal. Starting with a brilliant premiere that captures a stigma without name-dropping, High Maintenance continued to excel over the course of these 10 episodes. The scripts were astoundingly insightful, capturing areas of New York you might not have even known existed, while also being a joy to watch, thanks to its playful tone, and oft-kilter brand of humor. The show just feels palpable, weird, and funny all at once, and props to the casting department for mostly sticking with (very talented) no-names, as it gives this show such a human face to it. There are good shows, and there are great shows, but only a handful are best described in the same way as High Maintenance: Perfection.
