High Manintenance es un proyecto televisivo estadounidense desarrollado por HBO a partir de la webserie del mismo nombre estrenada en 2012, producida por Vimeo y creada por el matrimonio creativo de Katja Blichfeld y Ben Sinclair. La serie sigue a un repartidor de marihuana anónimo llamado The Guy ('El Tío'), interpretado por Sinclair, a medida que va entregando sus productos por toda la ciudad de Nueva York. Cada episodio se centra en un nuevo grupo de personajes de diferentes características, mientras esperan todos la llegada del canabis que le han pedido al personaje de Sinclair.
Todos los episodios de la serie siguen esa estructura, contando las historias de personajes distintos y variados. Los nombres de los episodios se corresponden con un personaje periférico a la historia que alguien menciona a lo largo del capítulo, pero que no aparece en él. Ambientada entre vecindarios de Brooklyn y, ocasionalmente, de Manhattan, esta adaptación producida por HBO cuenta con una primera temporada de seis episodios.
