In 2016, the series was nominated for a Streamy award, ultimately losing to Brooklyn Sound.[6]

Background and development

The series was made possible by the support of nearly 800 backers through the series' Kickstarter campaign.[7][8] An Indiegogo campaign was launched in November 2016 to fundraise a second season, with a fixed goal of $45,000 USD, which was successfully raised in under a month.[9]

Plot

The series begins with Dee Warson stressing out over their apartment rent they cannot afford alone, having just lost the person who was helping with bills. Their sister, Amy Warson, suggests they get a roommate and after a little convincing, they interview several candidates. One being Rachel Mannt, an English woman who moved to Canada to attend university, who seems to meet the criteria they're looking for.

Eight months later, it comes to light that Rachel's visa will expire soon and in a desperate attempt to remain in the country, has told the Canadian government that her and Dee are in a common law partnership. The series follows the two hosting a web show that flaunts their relationship so that when investigated, their relationship seems legitimate.[10]
