what episode do yall use to get people into this show? the assholes one is good but as mentioned upthread the molestation joke is an off-note... maybe "heidi" but the hipster grifter thing is maybe too ripped from the headlines... "rachel" is the best all-around imo but it's a little long.

i usually tell ppl to go stevie -> heidi -> olivia -> rachael -> qasim

start from the beginning to see how it evolves
matilda is a top 5 for me
― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Wednesday, 25 June 2014 04:04 (nine years ago) link
agree with starting from the beginning but alternately I'm feeling:
trixie -> brad pitts -> helen -> jonathan -> matilda -> dinah -> elijah -> quasim -> rachel

I like how it goes from being light hearted and funny to like really earnest and tragic at times
― aaliyah papi (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 25 June 2014 12:12 (nine years ago) link
otm, if you start at the beginning then helen and jonathan hit you pretty hard b/c you are not expecting them

kinda bummed that vimeo ppv is their big break, was hoping they'd get a comedy central or HBO deal

they were in discussions with FX but I guess it didn't work out

does anyone have hard info on how "premium" vimeo works? because i love this show but wtf i am not paying for a new subscription solely to see this unless it is hella minimal.

ok, i think yall are right, just rewatched "stevie" and it's a really deft introduction to his character.
― adam, Wednesday, 25 June 2014 19:34 (nine years ago) link
its also short & sweet and leaves you wanting more

otm
the casting, performances, & timing are all so top notch, its kindof mindblowing
end of the Passover ep is also hilarious

i'm like four episodes in, this is one of the best things i've ever fucking seen - the "Assholes" one should be expanded somehow.

the molestation zing didn't bother me in the slightest, mostly because those characters were such awful people.

fyi the near-euphoric use in of fleetwod mac's "gypsy" over the closing credits/slow-mo shot of sinclair on the bike has been replaced by a diff song :-(
it almost sounds like its still playing muffled in the background of the bathroom scene but i cant be sure
by my watch that's:
lol i wonder if there are torrents somewhere of the originals
― °ㅇ๐ْ ° (gr8080), Tuesday, 8 July 2014 00:57 (nine years ago) link
the songs shouldn't even have to be good (well, "gyspy" is impossible to top) but they should have been a better tonal match at least...the 'heidi' one changes the entire story

Had no idea the series existed until reading this thread. Not catching the intermediate-level Brooklyn references, but dialog, acting, technicals are all great. More of this please.

Vimeo is giving us funding for at least the next six episodes, and the only condition, really, is that we need to produce them and release them by the end of the year.
