Torontonians Riot Over Streetwear Drop In Episode 1 Of 'The Drop,' Now Streaming On Narcity (VIDEO)

An all-new female-led digital comedy series exploring the underground culture of professional line waiting is Narcity's first fully scripted YouTube show, and Episode 1 has dropped and is available to stream now.

The satirical four-episode show explores the trials and tribulations of besties Polly and Zara, two of Toronto's best line standers, who will stop at nothing to wait in line for the next drop and cash in on their clients' insatiable obsession with having the latest luxury goods.

Every episode features a new slew of zany supporting characters, and each lineup is an antic-filled adventure for Polly and Zara.

The show stars Aisha Evelyna (Polly) and Dani Pagliarello (Zara), Toronto-based actors and creators who also co-wrote and directed the series. Keep your eyes peeled for other established and emerging Canadian onscreen talent in the show, with guest appearances from Aurora Browne (Baroness von Sketch Show), Nicole Power (Kim's Convenience) and many others.

In this first episode, Zara's new job as a line waiter doesn't go as planned when no clothes arrive for a luxury streetwear drop. Polly comes up with a creative way to make the girls rent money.
