There's already a lot to, ahem, watch on Facebook's new streaming video platform, but if you haven't discovered Strangers yet, you're in for a treat.
Created, written and directed by Mia Lidofsky, Strangers debuted at the Sundance Film Festival, and follows Isobel (Zoe Chao), a newly-single, bisexual 20-something who rents out her spare room to an array of random tenants to try and keep her home. Naturally, each newcomer has a little something to teach our heroine about herself, but there's nothing cliche about her journey of self-discovery, which is equal parts awkward and hilarious.
Isobel's life might be in turmoil, but she's got a partner in crime in her best friend Cam (Meredith Hagner), an out and proud lesbian who makes her own fair share of questionable life choices.
Having seen the first three episodes at Sundance, we can attest that Strangers is refreshingly inclusive, intersectional and relatable — which probably explains why it's not on broadcast TV.
Mashable has an exclusive sneak peek at episode four of the dramedy, "Couples Counseling," which premieres Monday, Sept. 18. In it, Isobel and Cam have to face their issues after Isobel accused her bestie of flirting with her date in episode three.
The series is co-produced by Beachside and Refinery29. New episodes debut weekly and range from 13-19 minutes in length. Check out the first three episodes on Watch now.
